Executive Careers with Fexingo · 2026-07-29 · 7 min
Nearly 80% of C-suite placements come through executive search firms, yet most senior leaders treat them as mere gatekeepers. Lucas and Luna unpack the hidden dynamics of retained vs. contingent recruiters, how to manage exclusivity, and why building relationships with multiple firms can give you a strategic edge. Drawing on real examples from Fortune 500 searches, this episode reveals the unspoken rules of partnering with headhunters to control your narrative and land the role you actually want. If you're a VP or C-suite executive looking to own your career trajectory, this conversation will change the way you think about the search process. #ExecutiveSearch #CareerStrategy #C-Suite #Headhunters #Recruiting #JobSearch #Leadership #CareerAdvice #Fortune500 #BoardSeats #RetainedSearch #ContingentSearch #CareerMobility #ProfessionalGrowth #Business #Careers #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
