search firm

Executive recruitment agency

A search firm is a company that finds candidates for job openings, typically for executive or specialized positions.

Unlike general employment agencies, search firms actively recruit people who aren't necessarily looking for new jobs: The board hired a search firm to find their next CEO.

Also called executive search firm or headhunter.
