Your question is Why Executive Search. Take a moment with it on the right.
Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).
Tell me about yourself. Why do you want to work in executive search? We are assessing whether you can present a clear, relevant career narrative rather than recite your résumé. We also want to understand your motivation for executive search, your interest in Heidrick & Struggles, and whether your expectations match the research, analysis, relationship management, and confidentiality required in the role. A strong response should connect two or three specific experiences to the Business Analyst position, explain the transition logically, and demonstrate informed enthusiasm for executive search. Keep the answer structured and concise, then be ready to support your motivation with a specific example of ownership, analytical work, or collaboration.
