FAQ

What are the steps involved in the executive search process?
  1. Project Consulting:
    In the project consulting phase, we begin with in-depth discussions about your industry and your company. Together, we define clear project objectives and describe the position, its requirements, and the conditions. This phase lays the foundation for the entire process.

  2. Market Research:
    Market research is crucial for identifying potential candidates. We carefully analyze target markets and draw on our many years of network experience. This provides us with valuable information and recommendations that help us compile a list of target and candidate companies.

  3. Telephone Interviews:
    In the next step, we conduct telephone interviews to get to know the candidates better. We compare their profiles with the requirements and evaluate their education, career path, professional expertise, mobility, and interest in the position. These interviews serve to create a shortlist of promising candidates.

  4. Personal Interviews:
    Those who successfully pass the telephone interviews are invited to personal meetings. Here, we assess their professional, social, management, and leadership competencies as well as their motivation. These steps help us select the best possible candidates.

  5. Candidate Presentation:
    After the personal interviews, we confidentially present the selected candidates to you. We moderate discussions between you and the candidates and obtain references to ensure that you can make a well-informed decision.

  6. Project Completion and Follow-up:
    Finally, we support you through to contract signing and beyond. We provide assistance with contract and compensation matters and conduct feedback discussions with you and the candidates to ensure everything runs smoothly. Our follow-up ensures that you are successful with your new employee.
