Meyer & Söhne is among the most respected executive search consultancies in Germany. Since 2009 we have advised companies on a central strategic matter — appointing the most senior leadership tier. What defines us is personal attention, expertise and understanding — from the briefing to a lasting appointment.
Personal commitment from the partners, and no delegation of mandates to the research department.
A select number of clients per industry — and thus virtually unrestricted search fields.
Confidential, long-term, documented — executive search is a matter of trust.
Four documented phases, personally led by a partner — from the position profile through to onboarding. Confidential, structured and in close coordination with our clients.
The process in detail→
From defining the position profile to the successful signing of the contract — structured, documented and personally led.
“Deciding on a candidate is not merely filling a position. It is defining a company’s future direction and the leadership generation to match — our task is to identify and inspire the individuals best suited to it.”
Our team is made up of experienced executive search and industry experts with many years of leadership experience and a deep understanding of what distinguishes successful leadership in practice. The common foundation of our expertise is the manufacturing industry and the upper Mittelstand. With this well-founded industry knowledge, we support our clients in their search for the right personalities and develop sustainable, innovative solutions for the complex challenges of a constantly changing world.

We are a member of the ECI Group, founded in 1969 — one of the oldest and most respected international networks of independent executive search consultancies.
What makes our network exceptional: Unlike classic global networks and “integrated companies”, the ECI Group unites not branch offices but leading, entrepreneurially independent boutique consultancies that have worked together for decades on the basis of personal relationships and mutual trust. Our clients thus benefit from the combination of local market knowledge, international access to leadership talent and individually tailored search strategies — with the agility of a boutique and the reach of a global network.
Executive Search is the mandate-based direct approach for first- and second-tier management positions. We work on an exclusive mandate and immerse ourselves in our clients' processes before every search to gain a comprehensive picture of the position to be filled. We take responsibility, deliberately identifying and winning suitable candidates — discreetly, personally and to the highest professional and ethical standards. In addition, we back our recommendations with a success guarantee that they will prove sustainable.
On average around 14 weeks, structured into four documented phases: Strategy, Identification, Selection and Presentation through to onboarding. Each phase is led personally by the responsible partner.
Across industries with a focus on the manufacturing sector: among them mechanical engineering, mobility and automotive, chemicals, construction, healthcare and pharma, technology, aviation and defence.
Yes. Three offices in Germany — Bocholt, Frankfurt and Berlin — are connected internationally through the ECI Group. Nine international network partners guarantee local know-how with consistent professionalism.
