Executive Search as Capital Allocation in the AI Era
For much of its history, executive search was defined by access – access to networks, access to information, and access to candidates who were otherwise difficult to identify or approach. Over the past decade, that advantage has steadily eroded.
Digitisation, global connectivity, and professional platforms have flattened many of the informational barriers that once differentiated search firms. Today, identifying senior candidates is no longer the most difficult part of executive search.
