A Different Approach to Executive Search
Searchlight Recruiters conducts executive search using the Searchlight Leadership Decision System.
This approach integrates:
• leadership diagnostic

The objective is not simply to find qualified candidates.
It is to improve the quality of the hiring decision.
The Searchlight Process
Search engagements follow a structured sequence:
• Define the role
• Understand the operating environment
• Identify the leadership pattern required
• Evaluate candidates using behavioral evidence
This approach reduces hiring risk and improves decision quality.
The Role of the Leadership Diagnostic
Every search begins with the Searchlight Leadership Diagnostic.
Before candidates are introduced, the role is clearly defined.
This ensures alignment on:
• a clearly defined role mission
• a detailed understaning of operating conditions
