Description

Great executive searches are won or lost before the first message is sent. In this episode of Mission One: The Executive Edge, hosts Gerard Miles and Dan Hampton continue their hiring miniseries by unpacking how elite hiring teams approach research, target mapping, and outreach - not as a volume exercise, but as a precision craft. They explain why sending fewer, more thoughtful messages consistently outperforms mass outreach, and how deep research into companies, roles, and individual career paths allows recruiters and hiring managers to stand out in a noisy market. From building smarter target lists to crafting outreach that feels human, relevant, and credible, this conversation reframes sourcing as a strategic advantage rather than an administrative task. For leaders frustrated by low response rates or shallow pipelines, this episode offers a clear playbook for finding and engaging the right executives with intention and impact. Mission One: The Executive Edge is brought to you by Mission One. We partner with founders, boards and leadership teams to design and run executive searches with focus, judgment and intention long before outreach begins.
