It now often takes 9-12 months to fill a vacant CEO or CXO position, especially when the search is for seasoned professionals in specialised areas such as renewables, semiconductors, chemicals, hightech manufacturing, automotive and electric vehicles, pharmaceuticals and hardcore product engineering, they said. Usually, a senior executive search used to be closed in 3-4 months in times when the demand-supply mismatch was not so acute as it has been in the last one year.

This is one of the reasons why companies are increasingly building a leadership pipeline nternally, the HR head said. The internal candidate in such cases is given preference over an external executive even if the former is only 60% ready to take charge. But in case of specialised roles, often there is no option but to look for professionals outside.
