what we do:
Executive Search:
For over 20 years, we have specialized in filling CEO, Managing Director, and other C-level positions, as well as supervisory board roles. Our focus is on partnering with life-science companies to find leaders who will make a lasting impact. Beyond successful placements, we prioritize long-term retention and leadership stability.
Pipelining:
Proactively identifying high-calibre talent is essential for effective succession planning and long-term success. Through our established networks, we address these needs by benchmarking potential candidates, assessing their strengths, development areas, and competitive edge. Acting as an extension of our clients‘ HR function, we ensure the selected talent pipeline remains engaged and ready for mid- to long-term opportunities.
Management Diagnostic:
When you face challenging promotion, hiring or development decisions – we deliver objective and reliable support. Our tailored Assessment & Development Centres strengthen hiring processes and long-term talent development. Together with our clients, we identify key competencies and design interviews, role plays, group discussions, and case studies. Through this co-creative approach and psychometric assessments, our experienced psychologists deliver insights that enable fair, professional decisions.
Talent Acquisition:
We specialize in sourcing senior specialists and middle management candidates across the entire value chain, leveraging our extensive network to reach individuals who may not be visible on social media. Through our tailored recruitment process, we assist clients in filling even the most challenging roles, and we remain committed until the position is successfully filled.
Talent Mapping:
Deciding whether to seek talent internally or externally can be challenging. External searches, especially when internal candidates are involved, may cause disruption within an organization. That’s why it’s often wise to explore the market before making such a critical decision. We provide insights into the talent landscape in a specific area—what potential candidates‘ profiles look like, their priorities, and expected salaries. All of this is done anonymously and with complete confidentiality.
People Development:
We empower leaders, teams, and entire organizations. Our approach combines bespoke training programs, customized workshops, and personalized coaching, crafted by experienced consultants to address each client’s unique needs. No two solutions are alike – our offerings are as dynamic as the organizations we serve, designed to drive sustainable growth and meaningful change.
