About e-search

e-search is a boutique Executive Search firm specializing in identifying and recruiting top talent for portfolio companies of Private Equity, Venture Capital, and growth investors. In our customer base we also have a significant amount of mid- to large sized family owned businesses, in most cases still led by a director-major shareholder.

 

Our focus encompasses a wide range of businesses, from established companies to dynamic scale-ups and innovative start-ups.

Founded by Ernst Monkhorst, e-search is led by him in partnership with Gwen de Vos van Steenwijk. Together, their combined experience and extensive network ensure a dedicated approach and a guarantee for success. Their expertise allows e-search to deliver tailored solutions that perfectly align with the specific needs of each client.

At e-search, we strongly believe in the effective engagement of candidates who are not actively seeking new opportunities but are open to the right challenge. We are also committed to promoting diversity within organizations and have aligned our search methodologies accordingly.

A candidate must be the right fit in every respect for the hiring company, and in complex situations, this also extends to the investor backing the company seeking new top talent. We ensure that every placement is carefully aligned with the objectives and culture of both the company and its investors, delivering a comprehensive match that drives long-term success.

e-search specializes in delivering top talent for senior roles in Sales and Marketing, Operations, and Finance. Our sweet spot lies in finding C-level executives who are perfectly suited to the unique environment of our clients.

In addition to the two operational partners, e-search collaborates with various external partners who can provide valuable support in fulfilling our clients' search assignments, further enhancing our ability to deliver exceptional results.

Who are we?

We prefer to recruit candidates through our own network, a network that we have carefully built up over the years.

 

Because we use a selectively built file, in which new candidates can only be introduced via a positive referee, there is a good chance that we will find the most suitable candidate. 

 

Despite all the technology available, our strength lies mainly in making real human contact; after all, people do business with people.

 

Our most important values ​​are at the forefront of our work: honesty, integrity, and discretion. e-search has local knowledge in an international market. This means that we have a focus on positions and clients in the Benelux and Nordics market for Dutch and International companies and candidates.

 

Through extensive collaboration with executive search organizations abroad, we can assist our clients in filling positions in regions other than where our primary focus is.
