Summary
The deep Rolodex model for headhunters doesn't cut it anymore. PE's cookie-cutter hiring scorecards now miss the best candidates in a complex world. And more and more funds are hiring internal teams to source CEOs. The executive search business is under pressure and has to adapt to survive. In this episode, Devin sits down with Nick Cromydas, to answer the question: how does executive search stay relevant? Nick is the co-founder and CEO of Hunt Club , an AI-enabled search firm that pairs a GLG-style expert network with first-party data from countless executive searches. His team has conducted thousands of searches for hundreds of investor-backed companies.
