Hunt Scanlon Media, in partnership with Simsola AI, is examining how executive search firms move from candidate interviews to final shortlist decisions.
The survey looks at how firms compare candidates, structure evaluation, use technology and AI, and communicate the evidence behind their recommendations.
Your experience will help build a practical picture of how the industry approaches this critical stage of the search process, allowing firms to compare their practices with peers and identify where greater consistency, structure, or technology may improve decision-making.
The survey takes approximately 2–3 minutes to complete.
Findings will be analyzed in aggregate and published in a co-branded Hunt Scanlon Media + Simsola AI research report in early 2027. At the end of the survey, respondents will have the option to request a copy of the report when it is released.
Your responses are confidential. Results will be reported only in aggregate, and no individual or firm will be identified.
