The Retained Search Show

Winning Retained Against Industry Giants: Paul Press's Strategies


Listen Later

Our special guest, Paul Press, partner at Eastwood Partners, takes us on his journey from contingent recruitment to fully retained search.

Intrigued by senior-level searches and the bigger fees they come with, Paul knew he needed to break into the retained search world but initially found himself stuck in the contingent mindset. He began by marketing executive/C-suite candidates' profiles, which attracted interest from Private Equity firms. 

He then decided to go all-in on retained search and has never looked back. 

In this episode, we discuss: 

  • Search strategies that helped him compete against industry giants like Korn Ferry and Heidrick & Struggles – and win! 
  • Tailored approaches, consistent messaging, and exceeding client expectations to set yourself apart 
  • The significance of marketing candidates and the strategies that make all the difference in executive search 
  • The importance of collaboration and innovation within teams 

This episode is packed with loads of value, so make sure you tune in!
