There are some recruiting firms that specialize in executive recruiting. That may be an option for you and is worth exploring. Another option is to reach out to some of the tech recruiting firms and let them know that you're looking for an exec position (director/VP/CPO/whatever) and to reach out if they see one. I've occasionally seen those pitched. You may also want to look at consulting firms, as those can turn into executive positions if the hiring company wants to keep you.
- exogeny 9y agoThat's helpful, thank you. I should also state that I previously may have been too prideful to look into something like that in more depth, but I'm increasingly concluding that viewpoint is silly.
- bartozone 9y agoIn technology it is VERY common as these exec recruiters are paid handsomely. 100K+ to find the right executive and place him/her at a company. These are not the low level recruiters spamming your inbox. These people have a network, and know who has been where and for how long. After that 3/4/5 year mark, they start pinging people to let them know of interesting opportunities. That said, you DO want a good recruiter who's well respected. I'd do your research on who some of the best are, and target them to work with. Perhaps people here can make suggestions?
- q-base 9y agoInteresting and obvious in many ways. The recruiters of course has all the interest in the world to deliver the right candidate. I would be interested if people have any recommendations in this regards as well.
- telebone_man 9y agoIndeed, but I'd like to add that these recruiters are often penalised if the candidate leaves the business before a set period. So they have a financial motive with not just placing a candidate, but also them staying there.
