The AESC seal of credibility
For 15 years, Dasein has been part of a select international group that brings together the companies with the best practices in senior executive search and leadership development.
Only 20 executive recruitment firms operating in Brazil are part of AESC, the global entity that defines international quality standards for the executive sector. Among them is Dasein, one of the few companies of Brazilian origin to have earned this valuable certification.
Operating globally since 1959, AESC is responsible for establishing the highest quality criteria for the profession, ensuring that companies, organizations, and clients around the world can identify, attract, and leverage the best talent for senior corporate leadership.
To discuss the competitive advantage of being part of this select group of executive recruitment consultancies, we invited Lynne Murphy-Rivera, AESC’s Managing Director for the Americas.

Only 20 executive search and leadership development firms are part of AESC in Brazil. What are the prerequisites that the entity takes into account to select a consultancy for its elite group?
AESC members represent the highest standards of quality and excellence in executive search and leadership consulting. All member firms conduct the majority of their assignments at the executive and board level. AESC does not accept firms that offer a contingency model. Overall, the member review process is rigorous, including references from the industry and clients, an operational review, and a vote by the respective regional council.
Thinking about clients and companies in general: hiring the wrong executive comes at a high price. Depending on the leadership position, the losses go beyond financial issues, potentially affecting productivity and even the company’s image. In this sense, how can AESC member consultancies prevent such damage?
Research and data prove that a poor hire of a senior executive can be extremely costly for a company, with potential losses ranging from 2 to 27 times the executive’s annual salary, not to mention reputational costs.
Only the best executive search firms can face the challenge of identifying and influencing the best hiring decisions for their clients.
AESC members are recognized leaders in global executive recruitment and leadership consulting, offering a full range of organizational and talent solutions for high-performing organizations.
Clients must be diligent in choosing a consultant. Association members choose to exceed industry norms and client expectations, as the AESC brand requires its members to be ethical, rigorous, and transparent firms.
Dasein is celebrating 30 years of operation and has maintained a 15-year partnership with AESC. Considering the consultants, the exchange of knowledge and experiences between the association and Dasein, what benefits does this rich exchange generate for both consultants and clients?
As the only global trade association representing the $22 billion leadership consulting and executive search industry, AESC seeks to elevate its members through growth opportunities, elite networking, legislative updates, market analysis, and insights. Membership in AESC differentiates firms, strengthens credibility, builds business, and connects them to a highly trusted community of leaders.
