Hunt Scanlon's Editor-in-Chief Scott A. Scanlon notes the prevalence of acquisitions in the high-end talent and recruiting space, citing a number of notable purchases in recent months.

“ Interim professionals bring niche skillsets, expertise, and leadership capabilities to drive change. Interim leaders will likely play a significant and growing role in top grading senior-level positions in a post-pandemic era, where costs and efficiency underpin executive hiring. ... I can’t think of a better way to position a search firm for the new realities and massive changes we see coming to the workplace. ”
