Executive search

More than networks and gut feeling

Although our consultants possess extensive industry experience, our search is founded on much more than networks and gut instinct.

It’s all about predicting job performance

We have developed a unique approach with validated tools to be able to predict future job performance:

Hogan’s performance-validated competence model , combined with a leadership case, provides insight into the critical performance drivers.

Emotional Intelligence (EQ) ensures that candidates can act as role models for the company’s EVP and leadership values.

360-degree contextual understanding by interviewing the management team and/or important internal stakeholders.

Onboarding programme to strengthen inclusion in the new management group, as well as a personal plan to identify the company’s strengths.

Deeper Signals’ rapid and in-depth psychological personality profile ranks candidates according to the most critical performance drivers.

Cognitive capacity is assessed, as the single factor with the greatest predictive validity for future performance.

Background checks 360-degree reference collection of the candidates, as well as ranking of digitally obtained references.

Diversity is often a key factor in recruiting for a top management team and must be clearly defined.

"Our unique method provides a validated way of predicting job performance."

You’ve been through it before… so have we. That’s why we know what truly matters – for both the hiring company and the candidate.

When you, as a hiring company, use external search, you are buying time and expertise to secure the right candidate. That is why we offer a clear and structured client journey.

Our candidate briefs are both aesthetic and informative, enabling us to act as an ambassador for your company when engaging with relevant candidates.

We agree on the format and frequency of updates, so that we can proactively share candidate feedback.
