Today's corporate focus is on growing revenue, maintaining expanded productivity, innovating and maximizing the financial contribution of smaller operating teams. But as ExecuNet's 2011 Executive Job Market Intelligence Report reveals, more North American employers are realizing they've stretched management capability to its limits and need to rebuild depleted executive teams.
According to the report, which is based on simultaneous global surveys of 3,199 participants including executives, search firm consultants and corporate human resource professionals, 33 percent of corporations are adding new executive-level jobs, and often overlooked opportunity is hidden in another hiring pocket, as 50 percent of corporations are trading up with new hires for existing executive jobs.
Additional findings shared in the 2011 Executive Job Market Intelligence Report include:
The industries executive search consultants expect will generate the most executive job growth in 2011
The top growth regions for executive hiring in 2011
The percentage of management executives who expect "high levels of turnover" on their current employer's senior management team
The most critical factor, after base salary and annual performance bonus, in top executives' compensation deliberations related to a career move
Employed executives' compensation expectations in the event of their potential career transition
The primary indicators that will move employed executives to begin a job search

2011 Executive Job Market Intelligence Report is based on simultaneous surveys of ExecuNet's executive members and the search firms and corporate recruiters who regularly use ExecuNet's services. In addition, we invited participation from the executive, search firm and corporate human resource communities of strategic partner organizations: Forbes; Financial Executives International (FEI); CMO.com; Dillistone Systems, publishers of search-consult; and HSM, presenters of the World Business Forum. The surveys, which we have conducted online annually for the past 19 years, seek to determine trends and best practices in executive-level career development and candidate search, hiring and retention.
