Most executive hiring mistakes don’t come from choosing the wrong candidate — they come from choosing the wrong search model. Retained search isn’t just about exclusivity. It’s about a deeper partnership, better access, and a process that actually works for complex leadership roles. It gives you access to passive leadership candidates, clarity around role definition and compensation, and a fully managed process with aligned incentives. And most importantly? Accountability to deliver. 👉 Learn when retained search makes sense — and why it works: https://bit.ly/40H0al5 #ExecutiveSearch #RetainedSearch #HiringStrategy #LeadershipHiring #MillmanSearch
