Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about our executive & digital recruitment services

Digital executive search focuses on securing senior leaders with the vision and expertise to shape and drive your digital agenda. Digital team build-up assembles high-performing teams, from niche specialists to full departments, that take ownership of operations and deliver measurable growth.

No. Many clients bring us in after a successful strategy or implementation project to ensure long-term impact. But we also work independently to support business realignment, new market entries, or accelerated growth.

Yes. Our consultants can step in immediately to keep momentum. At the same time, we secure the right permanent hires to ensure a seamless transition.

We work across a variety of sectors, with particular strength in digital business models, technology-driven companies, and private equity portfolio businesses navigating growth or transformation. This applies especially to e-commerce, healthcare, consumer goods, and software industries.

Our deep network and proven search methodology allow us to introduce highly qualified candidates within just a few weeks. We achieve this without compromising on quality or fit.

We go beyond technical expertise and evaluate leadership style, values, and personality. On request, we create a tailored scorecard that includes these and other criteria, ensuring that every placement strengthens both your strategy and your organizational culture.

Yes. In many digital team build-up mandates we place several key positions in parallel. In some cases, we build entire teams of up to 15 people without slowing the pace or lowering the bar.

We begin with an initial alignment meeting to define the core requirements for the role, including objectives, cultural context, and the fundamental elements of the candidate profile. We then conduct a first search and present calibration profiles, which we review together with the client to clearly define the must-have and nice-to-have criteria. Once calibration is complete, we leverage our network and carry out a targeted active search. We speak directly with potential candidates, assess their fit, and present a shortlist of the most suitable individuals. This process ensures that every search is precisely aligned with the client’s expectations, while allowing us to move quickly and maintain the highest quality standards.
