Looking back at 2021, we saw the market rebound then skyrocket after the rollercoaster that was 2020. The executive search market has been running hot each quarter, producing more open searches than the past two years.

This environment surfaced some top challenges as 2021 came to a close, such as candidates dropping out late-stage searches, search firm capacity issues, and the need to prioritize proactive pipelining.
