高管概述这项研究对一家大型跨国猎头公司进行了44次深入采访，并查看了该公司为800多家公司工作的2000名高管的详细记录，发现这家高管猎头公司瞄准了声誉良好、业绩优异的大型公司进行招聘，并根据他们的职位而不是他们的成就来确定个别目标高管。此外，同意被考虑寻找的高管往往来自不太成功的公司，而且与那些被选中但拒绝被考虑寻找的高管相比，他们的任期更短。被研究的猎头公司倾向于帮助个人在不同行业之间跳槽，而不是跨工作职能或新角色。这项基于证据的研究引导人们关注一种劳动力市场中介机构，这种中介机构在今天的劳动力市场中发挥着越来越重要的作用，但学者们对此仍未进行充分的探索。
Executive OverviewEmploying 44 in-depth interviews and examining a large multinational search firm's detailed records for 2,000 executives working for more than 800 corporations, this research finds that the executive search firm targets large, reputable, high-performing companies to recruit from, and identifies individual target executives on the basis of their job title rather than their accomplishments. Moreover, executives who agree to be considered for a search tend to come from less successful firms and have shorter tenures than those who are targeted but decline to be considered for a search. The search firm studied tends to help individuals move between industries but not across job functions or to new roles. This evidence-based research guides attention to a type of labor market intermediary that plays an increasingly important role in labor markets today, but has remained underexplored by academics.
