What Is an Impact Player — and Why It Matters to Your Business



Impact Players represent professionals who have delivered strong measurable results, proven leadership, or may have rare skills. These are individuals who are busy making impacts at their current companies but open to new opportunities — they are the kind of leaders who can elevate your organization’s performance and create new opportunities.

Most search firms wait until there’s a job order to begin sourcing candidates. At Egret, we take a proactive, consultative approach. By continuously monitoring the market, we identify strong candidates who can make a significant impact and bring them directly to your attention.
