"Executive researchers use their knowledge of the client, the mandate, and their prior experience to lay the groundwork for a successful search. They set the search strategy, identify target organizations most likely to yield qualified candidates, and understand job titles and reporting relationships to home in on the “right” person to pursue on behalf of their clients.

Because researchers are ambassadors – they represent their client, their firm, themselves as search experts, and our profession as a whole. Because they are the first point of contact with prospective candidates and referral sources, they set the tone for every interaction going forward." - AESC
