Rethinking Recruiter Spend vs ROI in Executive Search
Executive hiring is one of the most critical — and costly — decisions a company makes. For CEOs and CHROs, the stakes are high: the right leader can transform a company’s trajectory, while the wrong hire can stall growth and erode culture. Yet recruiter spend often fails to deliver true ROI because it doesn’t consistently connect with executives who are not actively job‑hunting.
Traditional approaches to executive search — LinkedIn, retained search firms, and contingency recruiters — each have limitations. A new category of solutions, SaaS platforms like NexExec.io, are reframing how companies think about cost, reach, and control in executive hiring.
