Wanted: Talented CEOs
Hannah Clark, 01.09.07, 1:30 PM ET

It should be a good year for unemployed CEOs.

Demand for executive talent is hot around the world,

particularly in the fast-growing economies of China

and India.

According to a new survey, 84% of executive search

consultants expect their industry to grow in 2007;

a year ago, only 77.1% had such a positive outlook.

Banking and financial services will be the hottest

sector, with 66% of search experts predicting a

booming market for executive talent.

Information technology, health care and
 
pharmaceutical firms will also have strong

demand for new executives according to the

survey, which was conducted by the Association of

Executive Search Consultants (AESC).
