May 19th, 2026 - 1-2pm ET
As executive search continues to evolve from transactional delivery to intelligence-led advisory, recruiter performance is no longer defined by isolated skills. Success now depends on an integrated system of capabilities that elevate recruiters into strategic operators.
Join HSiQ’s Richard Stein for an in-depth webinar exploring the firm’s upcoming Recruiter Performance Training Program: a comprehensive framework designed to convert training into measurable commercial impact. This session will examine how leading firms are improving search outcomes, strengthening client relationships, and driving revenue performance in an increasingly competitive, AI-influenced market.
Built around 10 core training modules, the program focuses on developing recruiters across the full lifecycle of search. From originating new business and managing client relationships to executing high-quality search processes and leveraging data, tools, and AI, the curriculum is designed to accelerate productivity and enhance performance at every level.
Participants will gain insight into how top-performing recruiters are improving conversion rates, increasing fee levels, and building stronger pipelines through more disciplined execution and sharper market positioning. The session will also explore how firms are using structured training to enhance candidate engagement, deliver stronger shortlists, and generate repeat business through deeper client trust.
This webinar is ideal for executive search leaders, talent partners, and recruiting professionals looking to refine their approach to business development, execution, and long-term client value creation.
