No. The appropriate structure depends on seniority, confidentiality, complexity, urgency and the level of dedicated search work required.

A search can be structured around confidential replacement, succession or unannounced leadership requirements. Disclosure and communication procedures should be agreed before outreach.
Can you recruit leaders nationally?
Regional or national market mapping can be included when the required experience extends beyond the local candidate market.
