What is SearchConnect?

SearchConnect is a continuously updated online directory of more than 5,000 retained executive search professionals in over 70 countries at leading firms around the world. All of the firms listed have passed the strict admission criteria of the AESC, and their consultants adhere to the AESC’s professional practice guidelines.

SearchConnect allows you to identify consultants and firms by functional area, industry, region, country or consultant name. Listings includes firm description, size, specialty, worldwide office listing, consultants, bios, photographs and other contact information.

Knowing who the quality search consultants are in your industry and functional area is important, both for outreach, and to verify the credibility of those who call you.

Why is SearchConnect a critical part of any executive career strategy?

  • SearchConnect helps you to identify a small target list of search consultants to whom you wish to make yourself known
  • When you reach out to those consultants, you understand their areas of specialization and that they cover your field of experience
  • SearchConnect can assist you in establishing the legitimacy of search consultants that call you. Do they belong to the AESC? Are they a retained executive search firm?
