Executive Direct Search 

headhunting der 1. & 2. Führungsebene

| Welcome to Excellence


We are one of the leading Executive Search companies, located in Cologne area, and are working Europe-wide.

Headhunting is our Passion

Executive Search is more than just filling vacancies. In cooperation with our clients we create exact definitions of their human resources challenge, which might even lead to building up or reorganising complete organisational structures. It is essential to not only focus on details but also be aware of the bigger picture. Our consultants are up to date with the contemporary Executive Search methods and go far beyond the standards in order to create tailor-made solutions. Because in the end, only those companies who do not accept compromises when it comes to filling top-positions will stay ahead of their competitors.

For us, there are no ready-made solutions with Second Best-Appeal. Thanks to their industry expertise, precise analytics and the necessary empathy, our consultants achieve impressive results: We complete more than 90% of our assignments successfully. In more than 70% of all projects we manage to present suitable candidates already within the first six weeks. 

We know what our clients’ decision makers look for: Personal support and service, regular communication, transparent processes – and of course the best possible filling of their vacant positions. We always take our projects to a successful conclusion, no matter which size. Maybe one of our most important keys to success is that we listen carefully – not only to our clients but also to the candidates, who we interview in person in order to analyse their qualifications. We ensure open communication and transparency by providing regular status reports. For us, Executive Search is a process based on partnership. A process of achieving a common purpose. 

It requires a certain size and market standing to win the best employees and to build up a professional infrastructure that enables working with highest standards. And we are happy that we are a globally operating headhunter. Why? For Executive Search it is essential to focus on the client, not on the shareholder value. Our company structure is the ideal basis for this: We are an owner-managed company, operate completely independently and have a relevant market standing. There is an ideal size for Executive Search.

In Search of Excellence.  This is our motto which drives us.
