As a result, we know your customers, your markets, the entire environment and the resulting specific requirements and are therefore in a position to offer you optimum consulting services.

Direct Search

Passive candidate search through ads has been increasingly unsuccessful for years. The interesting candidates must be actively identified, and purposefully approached to inspire them to change. Therefore, every recruitment effort is newly set up as direct search project: Target company list, identification, first contact, interviews – that’s how we find the best candidates.

Guarantee

All accepted contracts are fulfilled: Over 90 % within the agreed time of 6-8 weeks – for the remaining almost 10 % applies: we are looking for until the position is filled! Active departures of our recruited candidates within the probationary period are infrequent. It is then quite clear that we repeat the search once without requesting another fee. Of course, the employees of our clients are protected with our don’t-touch guarantee!

Methodological competence

We use our “PURE” diagnostic concept for the perfect profile job match. The result is the degree of correspondence between the candidate profile of our clients and the profiles of the candidates. We intensively examine the candidates’ documents and use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools: Psychometric Profiling and cultural due diligence, complemented by personally collected references using a professional questionnaire. The focus of the candidate evaluation is on leadership and management skills, value systems, and operational as well as strategic excellence.

Performance-based remuneration

Our fee is two-thirds success-based! When commissioned by our clients, we charge a deposit, which initiates the search. A second installment is only due when we present the audited and most suitable candidates in the shortlist. The last installment is due after an employment contract is signed.

What is leadership development?

Leadership development expands the capacity of individuals to perform in leadership roles within organizations. Leadership roles are those that facilitate execution of a company’s strategy through: building alignment, winning mindshare and growing the capabilities of others. Leadership roles may be formal, with the corresponding authority to make decisions and take responsibility, or they may be informal roles with little official authority (e.g., a member of a team who influences team engagement, purpose and direction; a lateral peer who must listen and negotiate through influence), cross-functional or across borders.

What is outplacement?

Outplacement is the support service provided by a consultancy firm, when supporting individuals exiting their companies (voluntarily or involuntarily), transition to new jobs and help them re-orient themselves in the job market. The consultancy firm usually provides the outplacement services which are paid for by the former employer and are achieved usually through practical advice, interview training, preparing the CV and motivationletter, training materials and workshops. Some companies may offer psychological support.
