We advise you on how to win over the best avail­able lead­er­ship per­son­al­i­ty for your com­pa­ny, thus enabling you to stay that one crit­i­cal step ahead of the competition.

The can­di­dates’ out­stand­ing pro­fes­sion­al and intel­lec­tu­al com­pe­ten­cies are the basic pre­req­ui­sites for opti­mal staffing. How­ev­er, the new manager’s sus­tain­able suc­cess calls for even more: the right fit between per­son­al­i­ty and cor­po­rate cul­ture. Our claim is:THE BEST FIT.

That is why we attach great impor­tance to under­stand­ing your com­pa­ny and the can­di­dates holis­ti­cal­ly. Togeth­er with you we ana­lyze the indi­vid­ual com­pa­ny sit­u­a­tion, the busi­ness mod­el and the man­age­ment and per­for­mance cul­ture. We devel­op the cus­tomised can­di­date pro­file on this basis.

Com­mit­ment, trust and trans­paren­cy are of para­mount impor­tance to us when inter­act­ing with our clients and can­di­dates. This has an impact on the decision’s sus­tain­abil­i­ty - an essen­tial fac­tor for your last­ing success.

HEADS­AHEAD stands for the high­est lev­el of qual­i­ty require­ments and effi­cient, trans­par­ent search process­es. We advise our clients per­son­al­ly and with the great­est com­mit­ment: instead of one-size-fits-all solu­tions, we pro­vide you with indi­vid­ual, cus­tomised project work.

In col­lab­o­ra­tion with you, we analyse the com­pa­ny pro­file and chal­lenges of the posi­tion to be filled. Based on this, we devel­op the require­ments pro­file for the can­di­dates. We then con­duct a detailed mar­ket analy­sis in which we ini­tial­ly iden­ti­fy suit­able tar­get com­pa­nies and, in the next step, poten­tial can­di­dates. In the process, we use dig­i­tal pos­si­bil­i­ties and lever­age our strong per­son­al net­work in parallel.

The assess­ment of can­di­dates is aligned to com­pe­tence-based cri­te­ria that are objec­tive­ly mea­sur­able to the great­est extent pos­si­ble. These are then defined togeth­er with the client. Our eval­u­a­tion is based on sys­tem­at­ic research and struc­tured, per­son­al inter­views. It includes key per­for­mance fac­tors such as pro­fes­sion­al qual­i­fi­ca­tions, indi­vid­ual lead­er­ship style and per­son­al­i­ty. In this way, we enable our clients to make a well-found­ed deci­sion for their sus­tain­able success.

Dur­ing the entire search process, we are avail­able to clients and can­di­dates as a crit­i­cal and inde­pen­dent spar­ring part­ner and mod­er­a­tor. For us, open and hon­est com­mu­ni­ca­tion is the basis for a trust­ing cooperation.

We con­duct our search assign­ments thor­ough­ly and dis­creet­ly with the atti­tude of an “hon­ourable busi­ness enter­prise.” Fol­low-up projects and fur­ther rec­om­men­da­tions attest to this: in many cas­es, we have long-stand­ing part­ner­ships with our clients.

Many of our cus­tomers oper­ate in inter­na­tion­al mar­kets with their own pro­duc­tion facil­i­ties or sub­sidiaries. In order to also sup­port them inter­na­tion­al­ly in the search and selec­tion of exec­u­tives, we have been work­ing suc­cess­ful­ly for many years with select­ed exec­u­tive search part­ners in Europe, North and South Amer­i­ca and Asia.

In addi­tion to proven coun­try and indus­try exper­tise, our inter­na­tion­al part­ners bring the high­est qual­i­ty stan­dards to the search and project sup­port. We will be hap­py to estab­lish contact.
