“When a recruiter identifies a great candidate, it’s time to approach them to present the new opportunity. Considering that these leaders are busy and are often not actively looking for another job, we need to make sure that we impress them with our very first interaction. That’s why we don’t write job descriptions, instead, we create a personalized candidate briefing document – and at Key Search, this is just the beginning.”

Key Search brings a new design experience to executive search for our clients and candidates. Our entire approach to executive search differs and includes the key area of experience design to create a distinct and purposeful brand experience.
Key Search uses the most progressive, digital tools available in leadership recruitment and matches them with tailored experience design. Our highly adaptive, digital approach embraces emerging trends, making it a perfect match for our innovative clients.
At Key Search, experience design is created to shape a new and memorable candidate and client experience that is crafted to evolve with the fast changing world of executive search.
What is Experience Design?
A customer-centric experience that makes a brand memorable to their audience is at the core of experience design. By connecting and engaging with them, a company can convert brand awareness into brand loyalty.
Strategic planning and optimization for interactions with consumers is essential for experience design throughout our evolving interactions with clients and candidates as we conduct executive searches. While each interaction and each experience between Key Search and their clients and candidates is personal, experience design ensures a memorable and positive experience that turns brand awareness into brand loyalty.
The right planning, optimization, and a good amount of empathy are our guidelines during our interactions with clients and candidates. This is essential for an excellent experience as we conduct executive searches. While each interaction and each experience between Key Search and our clients and candidates is personal, our “Key Experience” ensures a memorable and positive experience that brings us even closer.
“Brand experience is the sum of all the sensations, thoughts, feelings, and reactions that individuals have in response to a brand. Brand experience is not specific to a channel or media type. Rather, it’s the result — or the lasting impression — that remains after someone encounters or engages with a brand in any environment.”

Within this, experience design is a core part of the brand experience and results in an individual’s brand perception.
