Abstract: This paper examines the career moves of executives between two different organizations and looks at the characteristics of executives´ employing organizations as a predictor of the success of the moves. The paper uses a proprietary data set of a retained executive search firm that contains information on the career paths of executives in the financial services industry. The results show that the perceived operational excellence of executives´ employing organization has a significant signaling power for other employers and strongly impacts the success of executives´ moves across different organizations.
