It's also important to ask whether a search firm has expertise working with companies at your stage of growth. An early stage company is faced with unique challenges and opportunities, that a new executive must be ready for. A recruitment consultant who understands this will be able to effectively pitch your unique proposition to the right candidates. Smaller organizations cannot afford to make a mistake hiring at any level. Also, with experience consulting to young companies, a search firm will appreciate the need for flexibility, creativity, speed and specific targeting.
