Association of Executive Search Consultants

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Association of Executive Search Consultants (AESC) is the world wide professional body representing the retained executive search industry. Founded in 1959[1] in the United States it is today a global organization with its international headquarters in New York City, and a European office in Brussels[2].

The AESC’s membership of over 270[3] firms is split up into three regional councils: The Americas (North and South America), EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa) and Asia-Pacific[1]. Between them these firms carry out over 50,000 executive search assignments per annum[citation needed].

The Association has a number of regional and global committees to address issues within the industry such as Government Relations[citation needed], Ethics and Professional Practices[4]. These bodies are elected annually. The AESC also organizes a number of local and regional events.

In addition to promoting and maintaining professional and ethical standards the AESC provides training through its Campus program, attempts to broaden public understanding of the industry and serves as an advocate for the interests of its member firms. In 2000 the Association also developed bluesteps.com [1], a subscription based internet service to create a link between job-seeking executives and member search firms.
