Methodology
Executive Search
or: more than scrolling LinkedIn over coffee
Sometimes we hear: “We do executive search too – we just found a great candidate on LinkedIn!”
Sound familiar? Well… not quite. That’s like saying that popping out to buy bread is supply chain logistics.
Executive search is not a lucky hit – it is a precise strategy.
It is a method designed not only for finding CEOs, board members or seasoned directors, but for any search where the market offers no candidates “in plain sight”, or where a wrong hire costs more than the entire process.
How does it work?
We start with… silence.
We listen. We listen until we understand the business context, the challenges, the organisational culture and everything that cannot be captured in a job ad.
We map the market.
We analyse competitors’ structures, compare organisational models and identify where potential Candidates with the right competencies may be working – not necessarily in the same industry.
We reach candidates who… aren’t looking for a job at all.
Because the best people usually stay loyal to their current employer and rarely browse job boards. Our job is to build a relationship with them, earn their trust and convince them that a change is worth considering.
We talk, we ask, we verify.
We discuss not only competencies, but also values, motivation and cultural fit. For us, a “good candidate” is not someone who could work at your company, but someone who will fit in and contribute to its growth.
We present candidates with the full story.
Always with a report, analysis and recommendation – never just “CV attached”.
Executive search is:
a method for companies that want to have a say in who joins them and be sure they are not just choosing from people who happen to be job-hunting, but from the truly BEST.
a tool not only for recruiting C-level executives, but also for attracting specialists with unique competencies: market experts, change leaders and future successors.
the solution when “the job ad isn’t working”,
not a quick hire – it is a strategy
It is a process that gives the Client not only candidates, but above all confidence that the choice was based on data, statistics and in-depth research – not just because someone had “a nice LinkedIn profile and was open to a change”.
