How the Head of Recruitment Uses Org Charts
The Head of Recruitmentdoesn't just appear on the org chart — they actively use it as a management and communication tool. Here are the most common scenarios.
Client mapping — building target company org charts from public data (LinkedIn, press, filings) to identify search candidates
Search presentation — presenting the client current org chart and showing where the open role fits in the structure
Market mapping — building industry-wide org charts to show clients the full landscape of potential candidates
Pitch development — using org charts of previous successful searches to demonstrate methodology to prospective clients
What Recruiters Should Know About Head of Recruitment Org Charts
When presenting an org chart to a Head of Recruitment or mapping the Head of Recruitment's function, keep in mind that this role cares about different things than other C-suite positions. The Head of Recruitment wants to see their multiple reporting lines clearly distinguished, a clear view of their 5 direct reports, and how their function connects to adjacent teams.
An org chart that buries the Head of Recruitment's direct reports three levels deep, or that doesn't distinguish between solid-line and dotted-line relationships, will not land well in a boardroom presentation. Use OrgBrief to generate a clean, role-focused view that highlights the Head of Recruitment's span of control.
