By utilizing research consulting for executive search, your firm can save thousands of dollars in employment search fees, handling the bulk of the project internally and leaving the time-consuming, labor-intensive research process to specialists.

While research time varies for specific employment fields and positions, the average executive research project will require between 70 to 90 hours of work; the entire candidate list can be generated for less than $12,000 versus $33,000 or more for executive search firm services.

It does not make economic sense to pay for a service that a company can handle internally. Conversely, it does not pay to attempt something complicated that is easily accomplished by a specialist.
