✨ What AI cannot do: build trust, read between the lines, or understand the subtle nuances of what truly makes a leader the right fit for a company. 🤝 At InterSearch Worldwide, we believe that executive search is — and will remain — a deeply human business. ⚙️ At the same time, we embrace AI where it adds value: enhancing efficiency, supporting research and insights, and freeing our consultants to focus on what matters most — people.
