How Candidates Should Prepare For Executive-Level Interviews
I often speak with senior-level candidates looking for new executive positions who have been at the same company or in the same role for an extended period. Naturally, often they haven’t been interviewed in recent years and might be a little rusty. When you only have?seven seconds to make a good impression , you have to make that time count.
And there’s an art to delivering a good interview - a lot of it comes down to practice, but knowing what to expect and asking the right questions yourself are just as crucial.
Why it’s essential to prepare for interviews
Many organizations recruit for senior positions through an?executive search ?firm to maximize their chances of finding the best possible candidate to fill a key position. Executive Search Recruiters, AKA “Headhunters,” are able to use headhunting techniques to reach passive talent and build a broader, deeper pool of candidates than can be accessed through the company’s talent acquisition team and job postings alone.
While a recruiter at an?executive search firm ?will help you prepare through the entire interview process with a prospective employer, you should be equally as ready for the initial screening call with the recruiter as they also act as gatekeepers.?
Your chances of being put forward to the hiring team can hinge on how engaged you are in this initial conversation and the chemistry you’ve built with the recruiter.

What Is Driving The Hunt For Real Assets & Why You Need An Executive Search Partner
Assets come in three categories: financial, intangible, and real. And it's real assets that are being bought up by businesses positioning themselves for recovery following the pandemic. Other contributing factors driving the?hunt for real assets ?include ongoing fiscal support, low (at the moment) interest rates and the new geopolitical risks of an energy crisis and war in Ukraine.

But what does this all mean, and how do businesses buying real assets find the talent they need to get these types of deals over the line?
What are real assets?
Real assets are tangible, their worth coming from their physical attributes. Examples of real assets include precious metals, businesses, property and land, infrastructure, and natural resources like oil.
One interesting trait of real assets is that they tend to provide a benefit to society - think energy, food, roads, etc.
