Answer:
ESFs provide confidentiality for employer and recruit, giving access to better candidates.
Explanation:
The statement that best supports Fernando's recommendation is that ESFs provide confidentiality for employer and recruit, giving access to better candidates.
Executive search firms maintain secrecy when finding replacements for top level employees by using non-disclosure agreements, avoiding specifics when embarking on their selection process in order to select the best candidate.
If the executive to be replaced find s out he could spoil the minds of those coming to replace them by telling them bad things about the company and those best candidates may withdraw, hence the need for secrecy.
