What would be the use case for those firms?

An executive search firm that's able to find candidates who would be suitable for jobs that pay $1mm+ in total comp is going to be using the network of people who they already know in order to find those candidates. At that level of comp you're relying on relationships and recommendations in order to find candidates (along side, most likely, some judicious use of LinkedIn) rather than any form of job board.
