Executive Search. Management Diagnostics.
Putting responsibility
in the right hands.
We support companies in their search for, and assessment of, suitable managers – and we look beyond algorithms and data structures to values and characteristics. Because not everything that matters can be counted. We look for people who stand for more than just professional expertise and experience. Personalities with a clear inner attitude – who fit into your organisation’s culture and are committed to ensuring that your business is ready for whatever the future holds. Take us at our word.
To lead is
to trust.
Digitalisation and AI, climate change, the limits of globalisation and unforeseen political events have ushered in a period of change that presents leaders with entirely new challenges. Old beliefs no longer apply. New solutions require new ways of thinking and, in many cases, a whole new mindset. In the future, communicative all-rounders will be in demand – people who can mediate between positions and generations. Reflective personalities who value personal responsibility and self-management over strict directives. Who value courage and risk-taking over traditional security thinking.
At the same time, it’s important to maintain foresight, develop visions and devise strategies. More than ever, employees want to feel that their work has meaning and that they understand the company’s goals. The situation has perhaps never been more complex. Our job is to help you find the right person for the right job, with aptitude diagnostics and precise processes. Nothing more. And nothing less.
Executive Search
Focus on the industry,
focus on the requirements.
We support you in your search for suitable executives with our extensive experience and our eye for the big picture: we take into account professional skills as well as values and convictions. And because requirements differ not only from company to company, but also from industry to industry, you’ll be supported by consultants who know your industry inside out.
Management Diagnostics
Identify strengths,
develop personalities.
Who has the right skills for your company’s current challenges – and its future? Who’s the best person to lead your team? Our experienced consultants use a variety of methods to measure suitability for the specific requirements of a role in the organisation. They identify leaders’ skills, analysing where strengths lie and where there is potential for development. The results you receive are practical and based in science. They serve as a reliable foundation and help you to approach upcoming changes in a fair way.
Trust can’t be quantified
– but experience can.
Since our beginnings as a family business in 1964, we’ve been committed to values such as trust, fairness and reliability – whether we’re talking about our clients, candidates or employees. While the world has changed in the meantime, and demands have become more diverse, the values of successful and respectful collaboration are as relevant now as they were then. Like following up on an assignment until our clients are satisfied, for example.
