Interviewing for the CEO Job? Think Like an Owner

I’m recruiting a CEO for a medical device company that’s owned by a private equity firm. Last week, I was talking with one of the partners about his phone call with one of the candidates.

He said, “The thing that distinguished this guy were his questions. They showed he thinks like an owner. It’s incredibly powerful. In fact, you should tell candidates to do that because it really sets them apart.”

Now I’ve told you.

Words
of Praise

Mike does an outstanding job from start to close. He ran a thorough, efficient and professional process. Most importantly, he identified and helped close the best candidate for the job. Highly encourage anyone to consider Mike.
