The Big Themes:

• Old-school/new school: The big search firms have some really good assessment programs, but tie a formalized assessment program into succession planning.
• The CEO sets the tenor of the company: I think a lot of times these CEOs don’t fully appreciate the components that they’re asking for.
• The recruiter’s role: Knowing the company culture, management style, succession planning, and weaknesses for the future market intelligence, that recruiter becomes a more qualified candidate to get to final interview.
• We both love this marketplace: We are consulting with a lot of clients on this exact topic, and we’re certainly seeing a lot more interest.

The Big Quotes:

“Now's the time to really go out and become a brand, a Glassdoor premiere company that really allows for talent to continue to develop that.”
