Guiding Principles for a Corporate Executive Recruiting Program

Our organization is in the early stages of building an executive recruiting team, and I'm interested in soliciting feedback regarding three areas of interest:

1) The guiding principles that drive success in this kind of program

2) The key actions around diversity recruiting at the executive level

3) The key metrics to measure success of the executive recruiting team

Our desire is to develop a 1st class team that will focus on the complete executive recruitment process, beginning to end. I appreciate any feedback that will assist us in this process.

In fact, I'll create a special post for the most interesting answers/comments and will publish on the blog.

Look forward to receiving your input!
