How AI is transforming Executive Search : is France catching up ?

Written By Cécile Brochot

Artificial intelligence is reshaping executive search across the globe, from sourcing candidates to assessing leadership potential.

We believe AI is a powerful tool to increase efficiency, enhance decision-making, and improve the overall recruitment experience.

But how fast is France moving compared to other markets?

2024 Key Figures:

  • 78% of North American executive search firms use AI-driven sourcing.

  • 43% of French recruitment agencies have integrated AI tools.

  • 62% of executives now expect AI-personalized recruitment experiences.

While France 🇫🇷 shows strong potential, adoption remains cautious due to cultural, regulatory, and relational factors. Those who successfully combine technological innovation with human expertise will lead the next generation of executive search.

At Cb-Advisory we are committed to mastering this balance, using AI as a support, not a substitute, to the critical human judgment essential to leadership advisory.

💬 What’s your perspective on AI adoption in recruitment? We’d be glad to exchange ideas.
