Services

We work on solutions tailored to our client’s individual specifications to create long-term competitive advantage for the client.

Executive Search Consultation Project

Executive search consultation project (Direct approach towards top executives from potentially suitable target companies).
Consultation project with professional market research and strategic penetration of the target market.

This service is not only suitable for recruiting appointees to management and supervisory boards, but also for top specialists. No company can afford chance recruitment in this day and age, and outstanding talent will increasingly establish itself as competitive advantage in business. We look for charismatic personalities with both credibility and leadership qualities that have already left their entrepreneurial mark with their employers.

Before we execute a consultation agreement, we spend a great deal of time in becoming acquainted with the client’s company – corporate philosophy, products, corporate strategy, staff and competitors. We place a high degree of importance on reconnaissance, in familiarising ourselves with the entire company, and in its individual departments. This careful process ensures a quality result. We maintain strict confidentiality.

Succession and commitee member appointments

Succession

Management tasks in small and medium-sized businesses have become increasingly complex. Finding a successor for a company not only involves finding the right qualifications in the candidate, but also taking due consideration of the psychological situation in a family business. Top managers unfamiliar to the family owning the business should want to identify with the business philosophy of the company. We would be pleased to support you in the selection, also in the form of workshops.

Advisory counsel appointments

Advisory counsels and supervisory boards are not the exclusive domain of major companies in the international arena. Not only management-based, but also small and medium-sized family businesses (SMBs) benefit from consultation and control given by supervisory boards and advisory counsels, which enable SMBs to tap into additional know-how, improving the decision-making quality and providing balance in conflicting interests among the business owners. However, many SMBs have problems recruiting competent personalities for these positions. The main issue is the lack of access to qualified experts and expertise amongst the members themselves, as advisory counsels and supervisory boards can only fulfil a consultation role if they are actually appointed to the position. What today’s business needs is professional supervisory counselling providing dedicated support to the business, advancing the business in its commercial activities. We would be pleased to advise you on your business.

Outplacement for executives

If you are forced to part company with a valued manager, you may want to take advantage of our outplacement consultation service, where our consultant supports you during the separation process with the aim of placing your former colleague in a similar position at another company.

Outplacement is an important service in ensuring a responsible separation process that is as free of conflict as possible, without your company suffering a loss in image.

Career Consultation

Globalisation and diversification into new business fields have made straight-line career planning a rare option. Internal candidates are often hampered in our clients’ companies, which need to recruit from the outside to replenish their intellectual inventory. Lack of contacts, time constraints and the job search itself reduce the chances of career development. In this service, we make a contribution to you as a private individual in maximising your career success.

Analysis of your professional strengths
Review of your application documents

Inhouse Consulting

Especially in these economically challenging times, many businesses are faced with increased pressure to change their organisational structures. Today, change means more than strategic realignment, restructuring and process optimisation. If you want your company to take a positive course, you will have to integrate your executives into the change process. Business success relies on your staff rising to the challenges that your company intends to face. We would be pleased to support you in this.
