Executive Search

Urban Digital are experts at identifying and attracting high-calibre senior executives to fill challenging and business critical vacancies across the digital and technology marketplace.

Executive search is a form of retained search, meaning that an upfront sum or partial payment is required to conduct the assignment.
Executive Search is frequently used for business critical/senior leadership roles. This is because there are many benefits to executive search, which includes some of the following:
  1. The upfront structure of retained search ensures that the placement takes higher priority than commission-based placements.
  2. The focus of a retained search is quality. You’ll often be working with the best of the best recruiters with a high success rate. When it’s crucial to get the right candidate for a high-stakes role, retained search offers a lower risk of a bad hire, and thus a higher certainty and comfort level.
  3. When there’s not a race to complete the search/multiple agencies working on the same vacancy, more time can be taken to ensure the very best and most qualified candidate is found — greatly benefiting the company in the long-run.
  4. Retained search recruiters will provide you with more helpful information throughout the process, including market intelligence, competition, timelines and so on, offering you a genuine partnership.
