Instructor: N/A • Language: N/A

Move into senior leadership with an insider's guide to executive search, positioning, interviews, and negotiation.

Description

Senior roles are rarely filled by someone who applied; they are filled by someone a search consultant already had on a list, months before the role existed. This course stood out because it explains how executive search actually works from the inside, helping you become visible to the process that fills those roles.

This Course Offers

  • A complete understanding of executive search: You will learn how senior roles are filled, the brief, market scan, target list, long list, and shortlist process.
  • Practical skills in positioning and personal messaging: You will write a positioning statement for yourself and the messages that support it, and build a CV and LinkedIn profile a search consultant can act on.
  • Knowledge of competencies and interview assessment: You will understand the scorecard you will be assessed against, the competency matrix, and how bias is controlled.
  • Expertise in negotiation and personal resilience: You will learn to negotiate an offer, handle a counter-offer, and work through impostor syndrome, burnout, and financial runway during a search.
