The key headline results to date are:
‘Results’ are, as expected, by far the most important consideration for our clients and candidates when measuring the performance of a search firm
The next most valued factor is ‘discretion’, followed by ‘quality’ and ‘advice’
‘Value’ and ‘speed’ were both considered less important than we had anticipated, although we remain fully cognizant that clients will continue to expect both
