Register here for the webinar: Executive Search: How to optimise a career strategy for you and a talent strategy for your organisation

We can often consider Executive Search to be a fringe function in our career and our organisations. What is Executive Search and do we really need it? How does it actually work? So much more than simply headhunting, Executive Search offers valuable data and insight into the true meaning of strategic talent management and how this prepares the individual and organisation now and in the future.

In a fast-changing world, David Biu, Head of Executive Search for Google, shares his data-driven strategies and rich knowledge of the Executive Search industry to give you the insight you need to drive your own career and future-proof your human capital needs across your organisation. David's session will not be recorded, so join us live with all your questions. 

This webinar will be hosted using Zoom. Zoom access information will be sent after registration, one week before, one day before and one hour before the event. If you have difficulty receiving the Zoom link, please contact alison.edmonds@thecareerfarm.com.
