Lucy found Sun World an outstanding Italian lawyer that we hired in-house. She was quick, presented several other qualified alternatives, and was super helpful along the whole process. I would enthusiastically enlist her search services again should the need arise.

FAQs

Interested in using our executive search services for your hiring needs? Check out these frequently asked questions to learn more about our areas of expertise.
What is the difference between retained search and executive search?

Executive search is primarily aimed at filling top-level positions like C-Level, VP, or Director level roles, involving a deeper, more comprehensive retained engagement due to the complexity and significance of these roles. This includes not only a thorough understanding of the client's needs but also extensive referencing and psychometric testing to assess candidates' suitability. In contrast, general retained search can also apply to mid-level positions and may not always involve the same depth of assessment as executive search.

Our executive search process involves a detailed briefing, extensive market research, confidential candidate approaches, rigorous interviews and assessments, and comprehensive referencing, all aimed at ensuring a perfect match for your executive needs.
