Does your 2026 success depend on Key Senior/C-Suite hires?
My 2025 headhunting work in the Malta market showed me exactly
what delayed action costs.
I'm sharing three painful, yet common mistakes, that will
compromise your hires, so you can stop the stress and plan the
right way.
Mistake No.1: "We'll start the search in the new
year."
It's a common belief that there's plenty of time to
start recruiting for a Q1 position in January.
The reality is that Senior and C-suite professionals typically
have a three-month notice period.
If you begin your search in January, you have already closed the
window to secure a key strategic hire for the first quarter. Unless
you buy out the notice, or you are lucky enough to get someone with
a 4-week notice period.
