Executive Search

Looking for top executive talent can be a challenging task that may take a lot of time and money. To help you with that, we have created a list of the 100 best executive search firms and consultants from around the world. We recommend that you ask for references on the recruiter to get a better understanding of their working style. Below, you can check out the top 100 firms on each list.

Korn Ferry, America’s leading executive recruitment firm, offers unmatched expertise in managing the entire talent continuum. Their services help align organizational vision with positive and lasting performance by ensuring that the right people are in the right roles. While a sound strategy, financials, and operating model are important, ultimately it is the people who create change. Unfortunately, HR has traditionally provided incomplete views of people based on inconsistent processes, technologies, and metrics. However, Korn Ferry has revolutionized the approach by connecting the dots and providing a holistic view of your people.
