Executive Jobs, 100k Jobs & Executive Recruitment

Executive Jobs Help For Your Career Change

A search for executive jobs is far less complicated today than it used to be in the past.

An executive who is looking for an new job can simply look to the internet where there are hundreds of employment websites, with many specifically geared towards executives. These websites also usually offer individuals the opportunity to network with other executives in order to share ideas, offer communication about opportunities and support that can be useful during a job search.

Job search websites for executives such as this executive website: executivesontheweb.com often work closely with recruiters from a number of specialty areas in order to make the right connections. Meetings and interviews can take place on the Internet or via a telephone call. Some job search services come with full support from a professional outplacement staff to provide motivation, information, answers and counseling during your search for available executive jobs that meet your personal requirements.

Executive and Senior Management Jobs
ExecutivesOnTheWeb.com is the No1 executive job board offering senior management and executive jobs across all industry sectors in the UK, Europe and the Middle East.

The Truth About Finding 100k+ Jobs (or 6 and 7 Figure Jobs)

By Mary Elizabeth Bradford

Myth: Executive level jobs are best found through recruiters and fee-based, high level job boards.

Truth: Both recruiters and fee based executive level job boards can severely limit your job search and the responses you receive.

Executive recruiters can only help you if you have the exact qualifications to help them...fill their key search assignments that is.

And fee based job boards usually yield about 1% to maybe 7% response rates. You are going to have to send out a lot of resumes to get any response at all, and of course don't forget about the intense amount of executive competition you will face for the very same job.

Most executives are all about working smarter, not harder. Though connecting with recruiters and answering 6-figure job ads might seem like the easiest way from point A to point B, it's actually more work on your part to market yourself thoroughly enough using only these two outlets to get you the kind of results you are hoping for. It's counterintuitive to your objective.

Want an easier solution? Of course it depends on the industry and position but I find that executive level jobs are best found using the following system:

1. Identification of the industry(s) of interest

2. Identification of the position(s) sought

3. Launching a campaign to penetrate those industries

To be successful (and when I say successful I mean conducting a job search that results in a number of high quality interviews for opportunities you are genuinely interested in, and obtaining one or more viable job offers) you must have a clear plan, followed by a significant level of market exposure.

Here are several highly effective techniques and resources to get going in the right direction:

1. Identify your market

What industry are you interested in and why? You must have a crystal clear direction before you can formulate any sort of plan. Is the market growing, or... are you purposely targeting growing markets? Smart move on your part.

Here are a few examples of market indentification: Technology companies between 20 and 50 million dollars; owners and developers of outpatient surgery centers or US based international civil contractors.

2. Identify your position

In order to target and brand your resume you have to be clear on the type of position you are pursuing. Again, have you thought it through? Are their other emerging positions (e.g.: Chief Ethics Officer) or parallel positions that might offer more challenge, more security or more experience where you need it - that help to achieve your long term career goals? Its worth spending some time here, doing a bit of research and thinking this through.

3. Launching a campaign to penetrate your industry/position of choice

You can do this several ways including:

  • Hiring a firm to research contacts and companies that fit your career parameters.
  • Using a site like zoominfo.com to research your preferences yourself.
  • Hire a career coach (could also be called a career marketer or someone who provides career research) to analyze, make recommendations and gather the initial information for you.
  • Hire an administrative assistant on a project basis to take care of some of your more mundane job search tasks such as mail merging documents, sending out resumes etc... (you should make phone contacts yourself though).
  • Find (and follow up on) growth opportunities (companies moving/growing/expanding) through setting up a simple tracking system on Google news or through regular checking of business and trade journals.
  • Hire a company to conduct an elite direct mail program for you. Find executive recruiters through a high-end contact that can distribute your resume exclusively to retained search firms.
  • Obtain a list of VC firms or PE firms who specialize in your industry of choice.

These are just a few ways that go way beyond fee based, 6 figure job boards. These methods, once they are set up by you - are just as turnkey as responding to a job ad.

Bottom line, a combination of the right executive jobs search techniques can improve your results by 20%, 30% and even 40%.

Many senior people who are looking for executive jobs are in a position where they need to keep quiet the fact that they intend to change companies. Posting a resume on a job search website might seem risky, but a lot of these sites provide only anonymous resume information, and it is up to the individual posting the resume to release any contact information.

Be sure to confirm the confidentiality options of any website or web based recruiter before submitting your CV. It could be damaging to you and your chances of bettering your career if the news came out at the wrong time.

Take a pro-active approach to your career transition with on-going use of networking activities, referrals, job postings, research and interviews throughout the duration of your search.

When looking for executive jobs, the most important thing is to have an executive CV that provides exactly the key information which will enable the professional recruiter or headhunter to identify and match you to the executive jobs they have on assignment.
