Our Clients
“We have employed European Leaders on a number of searches. I cannot speak too highly of their skills in this high-level recruitment area. In just a few days they tackle assignments that would probably take others weeks or months to achieve. And with great success.”
“We have worked with European Leaders on most of our key International appointments and they have consistently delivered successfully - we view them as partners as we continue to grow the company.”
“We needed someone to spearhead the growth in what was one of our biggest markets. European Leaders seemed a natural choice given their experience with VC backed software companies and their Nordic language capabilities. They found us a seasoned VP Sales which led to another search campaign for a Business Development Manager that was also successfully completed. They promised and then they delivered.”
“With the GM & CEO workshops I come away with four or five great insights that are immediately valuable to the business and the way we grow it.”
A few of the search firms have asked me what they can do differently. A lot of it is supplementing the transactional side of the search process with other things that they can do to be innovative and add value. European Leaders does a good job, for example, of innovating beyond the core executive search business.
“Expanding into the UK was a key priority for us in 2009 and European Leaders showed genuine care and enthusiasm as ambassadors which ultimately led to hiring a great Commercial Director for UK.”
“The inspirational coaching meant we were able to differentiate with credibility, on our VC Roadshow.”
“It is always a case study of professionalism when I work with European Leaders. They strike the perfect balance that allows great working relationships, but also very objective clarity.”
“My new team was in absolute amazement of your skills in helping us define the pre-sales vision and strategic plan for the next three years.”
“European Leaders has been very successful finding difficult to find people for multiple critical senior roles across several different geographies. They have worked very closely with us to understand our business and the requirements for each role and to ensure we developed appropriate briefing documents. European Leaders guided us to ensure the best possible fit between candidates and our company. Candidate feedback has also been extremely positive. I have no hesitation in recommending them.”
“Having previously worked with one of the European Leaders team, I was confident that we would get a good result. However, the location of this search was not ideal and I was genuinely pleased to see a quality hire on time and exceeding my expectations.”
“European Leaders Executive Search not only placed me in my current role at VoluBill but continued to support me in the business and sponsored me in to the GM & CEO Programme as one of their first members. It’s the first time I’ve encountered head hunters who not only know their business well but are also truly committed to improving the skills of CEOs in a way which is truly innovative and welcomed.”
“We were happy with the results having worked with European Leaders Executive Search – the team were hands on and worked to understand our needs and find a great fit.”
“European Leaders Executive Search presented us with a high quality short list of candidates with appropriate backgrounds for a NED role. Their input to the process really helped in our thinking around what qualities we needed in the candidate. The appointment was made successfully and we have been very happy with European Leaders execution of the search process”.
“The HR Programme brings a fresh approach with commercial pragmatism; there is a willingness to experiment to develop a new framework for HR in the modern progressive industry.”
“European Leaders has proven an exceptional ability to attract quality individuals. Their ability to communicate our message is outstanding, continuously demonstrating extensive knowledge of the industry.”
“We hired European Leaders to search for several senior strategic hires in Oslo and London. Their skill-set included an exceptional understanding of our sector with the bonus of Nordic language skills – it was great being able to work with one firm to build the team across the company. The European Leaders team members are great communicators and they are great ambassadors for our business: A genuine and successful partnership”
“European Leaders took on three concurrent searches to help reconstruct the sales organisation of one of our key regions. They responded to very tight timelines and presented me with outstanding candidates who we went on to hire. They were very hands on and travelled with me to each geography to manage the initial interviews through to candidate closure. The experience was extremely satisfying and European Leaders significantly exceeded expectations in both candidate quality and time to hire."
“European Leaders coached key members of the leadership team to realise their leadership capabilities thereby accelerating the alignment between functional and organisational strategy.”
“Well, it was a good day, once again better than I expected. Time really flies with you. Communication is not just “Logos”; it’s very much and combination of that and “Ethos” and “Pathos”.”
When looking internationally for key executives it was important to work with a search partner that not only understood our culture, strategy and ambitions, but also the market in which we wanted to offer our services. European Leaders’ experience with content and services vendors in the international Mobile industry provided us with a wide choice of quality candidates and attracted one of the experts in the industry.
“There is no other community so dedicated to improving the performance of leaders.”
