Executive Search (informally headhunting) is used to recruit senior individuals to client organisations.
Search consultancies are often entrenched in particular market sectors and have very strong networks in a particular space. This network is utilised along with other methodologies and techniques to find the best people in the market place for a particular role. Normally the individuals are not actively looking to leave their current organisation and are successful and happy where they are. It is the job of the search consultant to approach these individuals with a view to taking them out of their current company and placing them in another, often a competitor.
Search is expensive but effective and is often used to find senior individuals with specialist skill sets in tight market sectors.

Gallery: American Dreamers Run Free at Burning Man
Kat Wade Fri, 29 Aug 2008 01:00:00 -0000
: Photo: Kat Wade/Wired.com BLACK ROCK CITY, Nevada -- Wild rides, fireworks and letting it all hang out. That's the updated American dream at Burning Man 2008. The annual desert gathering always celebrates that most-American ideal: freedom. Freedom to ride a giant red, white and blue tricycle across the playa; freedom to blow your mind however you want; freedom to traipse around wearing nothing but body paint. That kind of ingrained whimsy, rather than politics, seems to be the point of this year's American Dream art theme at Burning Man. "What has America achieved that you admire?" is the event's official statement. "What has it done or failed to do that fills you with dismay? What is laudable? What is ludicrous?" Groovy, man. Let's get it on. Left: Red, white and blue abounds at the festival this year.
