"As we predicted last year, the economy indeed turned out to have a negative impact on the ability of companies to lure and land executive-level transformation candidates, with continued curtailing of budgets earmarked for new executive appointments." This was because while remuneration package expectations remained high on the part of some, actual remuneration offers were reined in due to tighter budgets, thus affecting the ability of companies to attract top EE execs, said Naidoo.
