EXECUTIVE SEARCH · ROMANIA

Finding the right leaders for your company’s direction.

Executive search for leadership roles, with a focus on the mandate, experience and organisational context.

We build the market relevant to the mandate, identify the people who can make the difference and approach them directly — including when they are not actively looking for a new role.

01 / RELEVANT

THE REAL MARKET

The best candidates
are not necessarily candidates.

Executive Search begins where recruitment based solely on applicants stops.

01

They do not apply

Many of the relevant professionals are already in good roles and do not follow job adverts.

02

They are not in one single market

The right profile may come from another company, industry, region or from a market adjacent to the mandate.

03

They cannot be understood from a CV alone

Experience matters. But for critical roles we also assess the context, the actual responsibility, the impact and the fit with the mandate.

HOW WE SEARCH

One mandate.
One market to build.

Executive search does not start with a list of candidates. It starts by defining the market worth searching in.

We clarify the actual responsibility, the context, the success criteria and the profile the market can sustain.

We identify the companies, industries and areas relevant professionals for the mandate can come from.

We identify and approach relevant professionals, including people who are not actively looking for a new role.

We do not simply compare CVs. We assess experience, impact, motivation and fit with the mandate.

The shortlist has to explain why the conversation with each candidate is worth continuing.

TALENT INTELLIGENCE

Before we tell you
who is right,
we want to know who exists.

We map the relevant market, identify the companies and professionals worth analysing, and use that information to calibrate the search before and during the mandate.

TARGET ROLE

CORE INDUSTRY
ADJACENT INDUSTRY
TRANSFERABLE EXPERIENCE
REGIONAL MARKET
EXTENDED MARKET
RELEVANT PROFILE MAPPED PROFILE

Sometimes the valuable outcome of the mapping is not a candidate. It is the realisation that the profile needs recalibrating.

WHEN EXECUTIVE SEARCH

Not every hire
needs executive search.

Executive search makes sense when the role is important, rare or sensitive enough that simply posting a position does not build the candidate market you need.

Four kinds of mandate usually fall into this category: leadership roles, narrow markets, confidential searches and positions where a wrong choice costs a lot.

When Executive Search is worth it
01 LEADERSHIP

The role leads a significant part of the business.

Managing director, functional directors, leadership or positions with major impact on the organisation.

02 SCARCE TALENT

The relevant market is very narrow.

The profile exists in few companies or calls for a difficult combination of experience and context.

03 CONFIDENTIAL

The search has to stay discreet.

Mandates where the position, the change or the conversations with the market cannot be handled publicly.

04 BUSINESS CRITICAL

The cost of a wrong choice is high.

Roles where the impact of a poor decision significantly exceeds the cost of a well-run search.

IF EXECUTIVE SEARCH IS NOT THE ANSWER

The role decides the method.
Not the other way round.

For many positions, a good recruitment process is enough. For local searches in Oradea and Bihor we have a page dedicated to the local context and market.
