A Boutique Executive Search Firm
From Intake To Integration
Way of Working
Our approach is carefully tailored to meet both the organization's needs and the candidate's expectations. From the initial conversation to the successful integration of the new leader, we guide the entire process to ensure a perfect match.
​
1. Profile Definition
The foundation for success
In collaboration with the client, we determine the desired profile. This can be both the company where the candidate will be placed, as well as the private equity partner. We create a profile document that clearly outlines expectations and ensure all stakeholders are aligned.
​
2. Search & Selection
Targeted talent search
Our team actively pursues suitable candidates. We conduct conversations with potential candidates, select the most appropriate profiles, and deliver a shortlist of top candidates. These candidates have been interviewed face-to-face and, when possible, references have been checked.
​
I3. nterviews & Integration
Making the right match
The shortlist is reviewed together with the company and, if applicable, the private equity partner. Based on this, interviews follow at the company and, if relevant, the private equity firm. We ensure the candidate is optimally integrated within the organization.
