Finding the next leader of your organization by serving on a search committee is a long process, full of potential pitfalls. It’s also an honor and a privilege.If7410716 1 200 sabena boeing 747-100 oo-sgb with foot But although the conversations are fascinating, the daunting complexity of the decision and the risk of making a mistake can weigh heavily on each committee member.

Employers want to know how hard it will be to find their next employee.Ignition Model 1 64 Pandem Toyota 86 V3 Red IG1406 And this question of, “How is the job market?” seems like a reasonable way to start that conversation.

And understanding these factors is often essential to do our job successfully.
