Executive Search /Direct Search

Targeted, confidential direct approach to specialists and executives – including those who are not actively looking.

The best candidates rarely apply. Through direct search, we reach specialists and executives in a targeted and discreet way – long before a CV comes into play. This is how we fill key positions for which the open market is simply too small.

Our process

Seven steps to the right appointment.

i.
Needs analysis & briefing

We begin with a detailed briefing in which we jointly define the professional and personal requirements of the position.

ii.
Defining the search strategy

We define the right strategy: a discreet direct approach, a targeted advertisement in selected media, or a combination of both.

iii.
Mapping the target market

Every direct search is built on a thorough analysis of the companies and institutions relevant to the position.

iv.
Identification & approach

We identify suitable candidates, approach them discreetly and draw on our long-standing network for referrals at the same time.

v.
Interviews & recommendation

In in-depth, structured interviews, we assess suitability and fit, and summarise our findings in a meaningful candidate report.

vi.
Presentation & decision

We accompany the interviews at your company, advise you on the decision, take up references and conduct audits where required.

vii.
Follow-up

We support onboarding at the new company and remain your point of contact well beyond the end of the assignment.
