Line drawing of a target

Filling key roles with precision –
in the DACH region and internationally

We identify, approach and attract people for the key roles in your company — from C-level and senior leadership positions to specialist expert roles. Every search starts with a clear understanding of your situation: the role, the market, the sector, the culture and your company’s next stage of development.

Our core market is the DACH region. Beyond that, we support companies from Germany, Austria and Switzerland with international appointments — particularly in Europe, the USA and Asia, with special experience in China as well as Korea and Japan. We also support international companies in finding leadership and expert profiles for the DACH market.

Our search work is built on leadership experience of our own in national and international companies. That means we understand requirements not only on paper, but from practical experience — and can approach, assess and attract people specifically for your task.

What makes our approach effective?

We work with specific, targeted search — not with standard profiles or broad market coverage. The basis is a clear understanding of your situation, a precise target profile and a structured research and approach process. We combine market knowledge, long-established networks, direct approach and digital research.

How do we proceed?

At the outset, we establish a shared understanding of the role, the environment and the criteria for success. Depending on the mandate, we conduct either a compact briefing or an in-depth conversation with the relevant stakeholders — for senior roles also on site. From this, we develop a detailed search profile and approach people who bring the right expertise, fit the culture and match your company’s next stage of development.

Throughout the process, we keep you closely involved, coordinate interviews and give you clear, sound recommendations for the next steps.

Sample mandates:

Head of Transformation

Starting point:
Several change initiatives are running in parallel, but priorities, responsibilities and measurable results are not clearly embedded.

Our approach:
We find people who bring structure to complexity and make transformation take effect within the organisation.

“With transformation, what counts is not the number of initiatives, but their impact.”

Dr. Robert Philipp

Head of Business Development / Growth

Starting point:
A strong product meets new growth opportunities, but market potential has to translate into a strong pipeline and profitable growth.

Our approach:
We find people who open up new markets systematically and bring sales, product, engineering and executive management together effectively.

“Growth does not come from market potential alone. I find leaders who build new business areas systematically and make them scalable.”
