The core business is Executive search, CEO succession planning, Board composition, c-suite assessment, etc. Different strategies to the firms highlighted above. E.g. KF a different animal from RRA. Margins are better than traditional mgmt consulting firms (yes, including tier 1, from which I came). SS is a great firm if you’re speaking with them.

Comp is very strong. Top performers (top quartile) within a given cohort can make over 2x peers. Average to 2nd quartile performers in line with traditional consulting, big law, banking.

It’s a head hunting company not a consultancy. Most of the work these types of firms do are more like sales than anything. Good commission based upside if you have an extensive professional network that you can tap into to build a book of business.

No not a staffing agency, they place c-suite executives. Ivy League connections provide a good network to draw candidates and potential business from.

See also KornFerry, Russel Reynolds, Heidrick & Struggles etc.

SA - They are a recruitment consultancy. Google them, and Google articles about the top levels of the recruiting industry. Much has been written. The junior job is finding good candidates for roles - mostly by LinkedIn searching, networking, cold calling and taking to them. The senior job is selling recruiting services to senior corporate execs.

SA, kindly, all work is grunt work (even being a partner). Thats why they call it “work”.
