PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The strongest executive opportunities often begin long before a position is posted. Yet many CFOs and senior finance leaders only engage with executive recruiters when they’re actively seeking a new role, missing valuable opportunities to build relationships that can shape their long-term careers.
Join us for an insider’s look at the executive search process and learn how recruiters identify, evaluate, and maintain relationships with top finance talent. We’ll discuss the differences between retained and contingency search firms, what recruiters look for in executive candidates, how to build a compelling professional brand, and the best ways to stay visible without appearing to be actively job hunting.
Whether you’re planning your next career move, exploring board opportunities, or simply investing in your professional network, this session will provide practical guidance for building meaningful relationships that can benefit your career for years to come.
