Missions in this Learning Path
This mission by Simon Mullins, Chief Facilitator at Executive Search Information Exchange (ESIX), covers how the executive search process works and your role as a hiring manager in that process. More specifically, you will learn how to make searches more successful, how to properly use search firms if you use them, managing the interview process, as well as ensuring a good candidate experience. This mission will help you get the highest value from every leadership search or project, as well as your entire leadership recruiting process.
Often, candidates fail to relate to recruiters and are reluctant to engage with them when they reach out with a job opportunity. However, candidates tend to view hiring managers as peers, people who work in the same sector, with the same skills who are on the same career path. As a result, they are much more likely to engage with hiring managers about open opportunities. That’s why it’s incredibly important for hiring managers to position themselves as Talent Magnets.
In this mission, you'll learn the five types of stories you must tell in your role as a hiring manager, and the simple structure that every story follows that captures the imagination and attention of our stakeholders.
