Executive Search
Our executive search practice has redefined client support through quality core search processes and its creation of performance based workshops and services. So, we don't just know the top management talent; we are responsible for training and supporting it.
We have set new standards in executive search through our understanding of client culture and our capability to research, interview and persuasively pitch to the best candidates.
There are other search consultancies with good networks, research capabilities and sector knowledge, but few achieve the results we deliver. Clients like working with us because of our communicative approach; we gain a detailed understanding of their business and competitive challenges before commencing a search; the process is collaborative throughout and adds value at every stage. Success in hiring is not just about skill set, it’s about compatibility in attitude; approach to life and of course, capability and knowledge. Many choose European Leaders simply because we have cutting edge methodology and provide a truly relationship orientated service.
“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.”
“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.”
“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”.
“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.”
“European Leaders coached key members of the leadership team to realise their leadership capabilities thereby accelerating the alignment between functional and organisational strategy.”
“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.”
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.
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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”
“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.”
