Executive Search
The right appointment is never a matter of luck.
We fill the positions that shape a company: in senior management, at division level and in key functions. Discreetly, thoroughly and with the judgement of partners who have run businesses themselves.
Our approach
Personally led.
Fully resourced.
Whoever is right for your position hardly reads job advertisements: they carry responsibility, they are successful, and they are not currently looking.
We reach them directly and confidentially, even while the position is still filled.
Personal accountability
Every assignment is led personally by a partner with their own entrepreneurial experience, from the first meeting through to the successful integration of the new person into your company. You have one point of contact who knows your company.
In-house research team
Identification, market research and the initial approach are handled by our research team in Lippstadt, in close coordination with the partner in charge.
Discreet, personal approach
We approach suitable candidates discreetly and personally. Our research is supported by artificial intelligence and by a network built up over decades.
Positions we fill
Process
Four phases.
One person accountable.
Your consultant is personally accountable for every search, from the first conversation to well beyond the first day in the new role.
Understand
We get to know your company, its culture and the position. The profile often becomes sharper in the process.
Search
Research and direct search, all in-house. Confidential, even while the position is still filled.
Select
A structured candidate audit with 114 criteria, personal interviews and sound psychometric assessment. You meet only people who have impressed us.
Through to the start
We support the decision, take up references and remain your point of contact after the start.
Modules
Beyond
the search itself.
Stakeholder analysis
Understanding the context
What do the people around the role really expect of the new appointee? We capture what no requirements profile contains.
Assessment
Making personality visible
A scientifically grounded analysis of character, motives and competencies – a second perspective alongside the personal impression.
Onboarding support · optional
Supporting the start
If you wish, we support the first months in the new company with regular conversations, for you and for the new executive. That is how a good appointment becomes a lasting one.
From our work
An example from our practice: a position we have successfully filled for a client.
Automotive supplier
Head of Controlling
Head of Controlling today. CFO successor tomorrow.
For an international, family-owned automotive supplier, we filled the position of Group Head of Controlling. The brief called for someone able to succeed the CFO in a few years’ time.
For reasons of discretion, clients and candidates remain anonymous.
Method
Artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence complements the experience of our consultants: in broader research, more thorough analysis and the checking of application documents. Decisions about people are made by our consultants.
Let’s talk about your plans.
An initial conversation is without obligation and always confidential.
