Proven experts in personnel search, with offices in Vienna, Munich & Zurich

For competitive role profiles in particular, we often recommend a combined search strategy to increase reach and hit rate – without compromising on quality:

• Headhunting / direct approach (targeted identification & discreet contact)
• Social network search (professional targeting via business networks)
• Media search (market visibility wherever the target group can actually be found)
• Pool search (activation of our segmented candidate pool)
• fortalent network (direct access to suitable profiles through long-standing relationships)

Some positions cannot be advertised publicly – for internal reasons, in sensitive succession situations or in early organisational phases. When particular discretion is required, a confidential search through a headhunter becomes the most effective option. We handle all confidential communication and protect your organisation’s insights – while keeping pace and quality high.

Your benefits:

• A clear market overview and a realistic assessment of availability & salary ranges
• Rigorous project management, including timing, status updates and candidate communication
• A qualified shortlist instead of “CV distribution”
• Persistence until the offer is accepted – including offer management and closing

If you need to fill a key role that “really matters”, let’s use a brief initial conversation to clarify what the market looks like, which search strategy we recommend and how to align process, stakeholders and decision timeline.
