Most of the time executive search firms are hired because they know the client's industry. In one particular case though we were hired specifically because we did not know the client's industry. Our client, a medium-sized firm offering business services, wanted to conduct an executive search for a senior executive to head up its new division.
Our firm was not well connected in this company's specialty area, and the client knew that. But they didn't want to see the same old faces. They wanted a fresh look - a custom designed search, and some ongoing guidance, from a consultant whose judgement they trusted. And that's what they received.
The search was a success, and the candidate continues to do well.
