OM DENNE EPISODE
In executive search, by the time a senior leadership role is posted, the conversation may already be well underway.
Search firms are building lists. Boards are asking who they trust. Decision-makers are comparing reputations. And leaders are being discussed in rooms they may not even know they’re in.
In this episode of Work Unscripted, Marlo Lyons sits down with executive search leaders with Neill Marshall and Kurt Mosley HealthSearch Partners, who executive search leaders with more than thirty years experience, to talk about how senior leaders really get hired, and what it takes to become the candidate people actively champion.
We go behind the scenes on executive search, board trust, reputation, visibility, cultural fit, and the first 90 days in a new leadership role.
You’ll learn:
- Why executive search starts long before a role is posted
- What makes a candidate “championed,” not just considered
- Why boards care about trust, culture, and reputation as much as qualifications
- How senior leaders can build visibility before they need a new role
- What behaviors quietly disqualify executive candidates
- Why the first 90 days matter so much for board trust and long-term credibility
- How to think about your career as a reputation built over decades
If you’re a senior leader, aspiring executive, or ambitious professional thinking about what’s next, this episode gives you the behind-the-scenes guidance most candidates never hear directly from executive recruiters.
Because at the executive level, your résumé matters. But your reputation gets there first.
