The start of 2024 felt a lot like the end of 2024: solid, if not spectacular; optimistic, if not confident.
Executive search volume grew 8% year-over-year in Q1 and 12% quarter-over-quarter—similar to Q4 2023.
It has been almost three years since we have seen more than two consecutive quarters of consistent performance in the executive search market. While there is a general sense of optimism, it’s hard to ignore macro developments as indicators that there may be limits to the remaining rebound.
