ESR (Executive Search Research) is a boutique retained research firm, which since 1997 has been an outsourcing partner to over 50 leading executive search firms in the U.S and Scandinavia. We have successfully conducted over 4000 semi-search (short list) projects of specialists and managers for our clients, with a 93% hiring ratio. If additional help is needed beyond the short list service we can do retained full-search of which we have conducted over 1000 recruitments. In all of our work we apply the latest in AI, with ChatGPT integration in all parts of the recruitment process. Our work is 100% outbound, as we only recruit top passive talent who does not apply through job ads. With our signature model for research (outlined in the U.S. bestseller; Secrets of the Executive Search Experts) we provide a “short list” of the best possible talent in 3 weeks at a low fixed cost for our clients, who are then responsible for the last phase of the recruitment process. We have a strong core team and when additional capacity is needed we utilize strong quality checked and experienced researchers from our "global talent pool". This enables us to rapidly assist fast-growing companies globally. We achieved the prestigious recognition by LA Business Journal being ranked among the very top recruitment firms in Los Angeles, as well as also being ranked as one the top 10 recruitment research firms in the U.S. In Scandinavia ESR has been recognized as a "Gaselle" company two years in a row.
