Most executive recruiters will be required to have a degree. Many recruitment firms will also look for an elevated degree, dual degree, or MBA. Often, you will be working with the upper echelon of their industry, including surgeons, judges, and lawyers. For this reason, it's essential that you are well educated. Walk the interviewer through your education and discuss why your post-secondary experience is helpful to you as an executive recruiter.

"When I first began in recruitment, I had just completed my Bachelor's degree in International Business. I learned a great deal about how operations work globally, which was very helpful. Recently, I completed my Executive MBA online, giving me a further advantage as an executive recruiter. My ability to analyze data and present strategy to my clients is much stronger now, and I feel like a better consultant and talent acquisition partner."
