Expert Observation
Alberta’s executive recruiters on what CEOs want now:
“For senior executives … to consider a new position, the position must offer clear potential for personal intellectual growth; the new company/organization must be seen as highly interested in and committed to the position; and the position must offer both a competitive base salary and substantial upside potential in terms of performance-based compensation.”
