The most successful way of filling management positions with qualified candidates is undoubtedly direct contact (Executive Search).

This begins with a detailed discussion with the client, from which we formulate a detailed requirement profile: Which position needs to be filled? What objectives does the company pursue? How is it positioned in the market environment? What will be the requirements placed on the future management employee?

On this basis, we identify potential candidates and contact them directly, in order to assess their suitability and interest in the position to be filled.

Only when we have personally convinced ourselves that a candidate matches the requirement profile, in terms of his competence, experience and personality, do we present him to our client, who will ultimately select the ideally qualified candidate from a manageable number and gain him for a long-term cooperation.

We accompany this selection process until conclusion of the contract. Furthermore, through intensive follow-up support, we ensure that the expectations of both parties are fulfilled for the long term, with the filling of the position.
