Australia's firms look abroad to recruit executives: salaries are surging as companies seek talent outside the country, specifically in America

Article Abstract:

The executive headhunting business is thriving in Australia, as an increasing number of successful Australian companies strive to retain their profitability by recruiting more effective managers. Australian companies are forced to seek executives from abroad due to the limited exposure of Australian executives in a diversified business environment. These headhunters also believe that the viability of the US as a breeding and training ground for executives stem from the competitive business environment, wherein deregulation opens up many opportunities for management training. Australian companies are forced to emulate the US model of executive compensation to attract and retain executives.
