Executive Search
The partners of MEYER UND SÖHNE are recognized specialists for the direct search and selection of executives, with a focus on positions in the top two management tiers and on supervisory and advisory bodies. Our clients include owner-managed, medium-sized companies as well as multinational corporations.
We work with a network developed and grown over decades of work in our focus industries that provides us vital insights for every search commission. We have grown up as professionals in the world of executive search and can combine our expertise and experience from this background with cutting-edge research tools in our work. As part of our industry association AESC, we are committed to the highest standards in our industry.
Your expectations guide, inform, and determine our every effort: We work with you to make sure that your company’s culture and environment are reflected in the right candidate for you. We are proud that the candidates recommended by us will contribute substantially and sustainably to the success of your enterprise.
Executive search thrives on trust. It is therefore crucial for us that clients and candidates feel that they are in good hands and receive professional and respectful advice at every stage of the search process. The selection of executives is a process in which many factors must be taken into account.
At the beginning of each process, we take a detailed look at our clients and the background of the appointment in question. We address all relevant points openly and then draw up a detailed requirements profile and, after consultation, a target company list.
After thorough research, supported by our experienced in-house research team, we contact suitable candidates. We see ourselves as ambassadors for our clients and enter into an open and respectful dialog with the candidates in order to ask the decisive questions. In addition to the many years of experience of our partners, we use diagnostic suitability models in the selection process to increase decision-making certainty for all sides.
After several detailed interviews, we draw up a meaningful confidential report. Our aim is always to pre-select candidates who meet the desired criteria, have the right motivation and fit in with our clients’ corporate culture.
In addition, we speak transparently with our clients at regular intervals about the progress of the project and provide feedback from the market. We accompany the candidates we recommend to initial meetings with our clients. Throughout the process, we act as a sparring partner and moderator, for example in contract negotiations.
Constructive feedback during the entire selection process is just as important to us as a targeted and well-researched approach.
