Executive Search

The best candidate for a board or management position hardly ever actively looks for a new post. Qualified managers and senior professionals prefer not to announce to the world that they are ready for a fresh challenge. Since they do not respond to recruitment advertising, the responses that are, in fact, generated rarely come from the people you are actually trying to reach.

In such cases, executive search is a much better tool. Unlike media recruitment, it involves personally approaching those with an active or latent interest in your position. A one-to-one conversation appeals to many professionals who wish to undergo a proper orientation before coming forward as a candidate for a new position. Executive search is particularly effective in filling more responsible and complex vacancies.

This approach makes substantial demands of the search bureau. As well as recruitment expertise, knowledge of the client's industry is vital to success. Thanks to years of experience, we have a high-level network of personal contacts and sources through whom we can conduct focused direct searches to fill specific vacancies. Our reputation in the financial world also means that we are approached regularly by potential candidates themselves. They are only added to our files if, after a personal interview, that seems mutually beneficial. The result is an extensive and up-to-date database for effective file searches.
