Recruiting can mean many things. This discussion is focused on Retained Executive Search – what it is, what makes it different than other types of searches, what type of positions are usually retained, who does this work, is it hard to enter this space, why companies engage in this type of search and much more. This episode includes a fun interview with John Nimesheim, Managing Director of Slayton Search Partners (http://slaytonsearch.com/our-team/john-d-nimesheim/). John is a 20 year veteran of retained executive search and primarily serves manufacturing and distribution clients across the consumer/retail, industrial and medical products industries. Throughout his search career, John has successfully recruited top talent across the entire executive suite including P&L leaders and heads of Human Resources, Finance, Strategy, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Research & Development, Information Technology, and Sales and Marketing for large and mid-cap public, private and private equity backed companies.We talk about all kinds of interesting information relating to search including the legalization of marijuana, salary history discussions and much more.
