Executive Search

We make use of our many years of expertise and industry know-how to identify and recruit top level leaders, right up to the board of directors and advisory board. Your company’s success is always at the heart of our partnership:

• We help define the specialist capabilities and soft skills necessary for the leadership position you’re offering

• We advise on strategic issues such as cultural change and business transformation, so that we can work together to develop appropriate interdisciplinary management approaches or support succession planning
• We recommend ways to create a progressive and sustainable HR strategy to secure future-orientated human resource planning at all management levels

To secure talent that will take your company to it’s next stage of growth, we identify leadership personalities who will help shape your company culture and use motivation, communication, empathy and responsibility to initiate changes. With this focus in mind, here’s how we organise our work:

• Assignments are supervised by our senior executive search consultants throughout the whole search process and beyond, to guarantee successful teamwork
• Our boutique approach is balanced with the strengths of our robust worldwide network, which we can deploy in our search assignment if required
• Suitable candidates for your assignment are evaluated and shortlisted, and the relevant profiles are prepared ready for your decision in combination with background checks

In short, we don’t just define our relationship with you in terms of search assignments. We consider trust, the utmost discretion, and long-term cooperation to be at the heart of our business.

As a one of the ‘The worlds’ most admired companies in 2022’ according to Fortune magazine, we’re respected all over the world for successful appointments of MDs to supervisory board members. In 2022, Forbes magazine named us one of “America’s Best Executive Recruiting Firms” for the sixth successive year. Here’s our recipe for success:

• Our focus is on the passive candidate market: virtually all the executives we put forward were not actively looking for a new job before we contacted them.
• We don’t leave anything to chance: every assignment is monitored exclusively by our experienced senior consultants and research team, who apply their in-depth specialist knowledge and robust network access to your assignment.
• We’re in a position to find ideally suited leaders for you using a timeline and milestones agreed with you, often in less than 90 days.
• Entrepreneurial thinking and acting are part of our DNA, and your continued success is our success.
