Ethel Executive: Senior Executive Search SWE
Ethel Executive is an executive search firm in SWE specializing in senior roles within Consulting and Business Services. We help candidates access leadership opportunities, and the most useful thing to know is that we proactively source candidates for specific mandates, rather than operating a speculative CV database.
Who pays Ethel Executive
Retained by the employer, not by you.
Ethel Executive is paid by the hiring company, often on retainer before anyone is placed. They are working one specific mandate for that company, not managing your search.
What that means for you
Being wrong for this mandate is not a verdict on you. Stay reachable for the next one, and be straight about salary and timing so you are not shortlisted for a brief you would turn down.
