AI in Executive Search
Particularly in the areas of sourcing and interview preparation, we save a lot of time with the help of AI. By using transcription and analysis tools, we have been able to reduce the effort for interview preparation, execution, and follow-up by up to 47 percent. We dedicate the resources we gain to what Executive Search is fundamentally about: personal dialogue.
Our experience shows: AI does not replace us. But consultants who do not use AI are increasingly being overtaken by those who effectively integrate these tools into their processes.
The key difference remains the ability to listen, interpret, contextualize, and match people with organizations where they truly belong.
After Sandro's presentation, owners of international Executive Search firms discussed the changes that the increasing use of AI will bring to our industry. There was consensus that technological support accelerates many administrative processes. However, the critical skills of the future remain human-centric.
What is needed is not only a basic understanding of technology but above all critical thinking, contextual sensitivity, and consultancy expertise.
Future-proof Executive Search firms will define themselves through their real added value, like us, through independent consultancy, negotiation skills, market overview, and psychological sensitivity.
