Executive search firms need clear, documented consent to handle sensitive candidate information throughout the placement process. This **Executive Search Candidate Consent Form** ensures full transparency and compliance with data protection regulations while building trust with senior-level candidates.

When working with C-suite and executive-level placements, search firms must obtain explicit permission to verify compensation history, conduct comprehensive reference checks, share assessment results with clients, prepare presentation materials, and represent candidates in offer negotiations. This form establishes a professional foundation for the entire search engagement.

**Paperform** makes it easy to collect and store these critical consents securely. With conditional logic, you can tailor consent requests based on the specific role and jurisdiction, ensuring GDPR and privacy compliance across borders. The clean, professional interface reassures executive candidates that their sensitive information is being handled with the discretion they expect.

Once submitted, use **Stepper** (stepper.io) to automatically route consents to your CRM, notify the responsible search consultant, create candidate files in your document management system, and trigger reference check workflows. You can also use **Papersign** (papersign.com) to convert key consents into legally binding eSignature documents when required by your firm's policies or specific client agreements.

This template is designed for executive search firms, recruitment agencies, talent advisory firms, and HR consultancies that specialize in senior leadership placements and need robust consent management to protect both candidates and clients.
