Executive Search

Management recruitment of uncompromising quality

The combination of competent consultants with extensive business understanding and proven, documented processes results in a high success rate and low error rate within Executive Search.

A misfired management recruitment has considerable consequences in terms of financials, resources and image. We have the competencies, the experience, and concepts to ensure the maximum possible accuracy in choosing the most suited manager in an Executive Search process.

The foundation for a well-executed Executive Search is a thorough preliminary analysis with an exploration of strategy, organisation, competency level – and gap, as well as industry.

The next step in the Executive Search process, is a clarification of the job- and candidate profile, where the first part in dedicated to the content of the position, containing a clear and precise description of areas of responsibility, tasks, success criteria, challenges of the position, key stakeholders, organisation, the development potential for the candidate, expected travel activity, and salary framework. The latter part of the description concerns the candidate profile, where we go in depth concerning which candidate the company desires in relation to the above-mentioned aspects of the preliminary analysis. In the candidate profile, the basic factors expected of the candidate such as language skills, IT skills, educational level and residence are described. Professional competencies are also described, and the essential desired competencies are structured in an evaluation-and competency table.

The final part of the candidate profile is a character description, which is matched against the requirements the company has in terms of the candidate’s personal skills.

This thorough process in a management recruitment ensures an effective and transparent process and candidate profile, which benefits both candidates and clients. The result is a competent and motivated field of candidates.

Changes in the company’s upper management and/or management group has a large impact both internally and externally, and it is essential that all communication is planned and aligned timewise with the hiring process. Discretion is a matter of course. Through the years, in open Executive Searches, we have had success with coupling the communication plan to the company’s Communication & PR-responsible person.

For each Executive Search assignment, we set a qualified team of researchers, consultants, and supporters.

In an Executive Search process, the client will always experience:

• A solution adjusted to the client’s current situation and market
• Methodological and structured mapping of the market – until we find the proper field of candidates
• Proven and effective processes, which are thoroughly tested and documented
• Weekly status updates on the process level, so the client is aligned and up to date with current standing in terms of process and progress
• In-house Searchers with extensive industry knowledge are assigned to every Executive Search
• As we always provide uncompromising quality, each management recruitment is completed with a structured follow-up process following the appointment of a candidate – both with client and candidate, so we ensure a persistent satisfaction with the appointment. We follow up on both personality and professional capabilities.
