Frequently Asked Questions
How does AI help executive recruiters find passive candidates?
Lead Finder searches professional databases to surface executives matching your criteria — title, industry, company size, geography — including those not actively job hunting. You can filter by tenure signals that suggest receptivity, like 3+ years in a role or recent company changes.
Can I use these tools to monitor when a competitor places an executive?
Yes. The News tool lets you track executive appointment announcements across industries and company types. Set targeted searches for terms like "appoints CFO" or "names new Chief Revenue Officer" in your target sectors to stay informed.
How accurate is LinkedIn profile data from the LinkedIn Analytics tool?
LinkedIn Analytics retrieves publicly available profile data directly. Accuracy depends on what individuals have made public. For executive searches, most senior candidates maintain current and detailed public profiles, making this a reliable sourcing signal.
Can I research comp benchmarks with these tools?
Deep Research aggregates compensation data from public sources, job postings, and industry surveys. Job Search provides real-time salary ranges from active postings. Together they give you a reliable market view for setting realistic client expectations on comp.
How do I use these tools to prepare a client search brief?
Use Job Search to quantify the candidate pool size, Deep Research to summarize recent hires and market conditions, and Lead Finder to build a preliminary long-list. Arriving to kickoff with this data positions you as a market expert, not just a recruiter.
