Functional Breakdown of Executive Searches

5. Fewer Off-Limits
Given our size and structure, we are committed to providing the highest level of service to our clients. This operating
philosophy requires us to take on less search work. That commitment translates into fewer off-limits. This gives us a
decided advantage in conducting thorough and well-defined global searches.
Partner Level Execution
Your assignments will only be executed on the partner or principal consultant level. We directly approach candidates in
well defined target companies, assess them and provide you with thoroughly selected managers according to the
profile.
Performance driven philosophy
Consulting you in filling your vacancies with the best possible managers and our ambition to be a trusted long-term
partner drives our actions and decisions. This is measured by our compliance to closely monitoring performance and
quality standards. Our overall company completion index is 92% and our repeat client ratio is 75%, both significantly
above industry average.
