Executive search is a different job from filling a vacancy. It means finding, approaching and assessing senior people who are rarely looking for work, and doing it with discretion. These guides explain how executive search firms in Thailand operate, how they differ from a recruitment agency, what a headhunter does and how long a search should take. Start with the guide to choosing a search partner, then read on to the search process, the value of passive candidates and the questions to ask before you appoint a firm. Smart Search Recruitment has been placing executives in Bangkok since 2008, and these articles draw on that work. If you are ready to discuss a senior appointment, see our executive search and headhunting services.
