Executive Search & Headhunting
Targeted approach – successful staffing
Executive Search, Headhunting, or Direct Approach – Three terms that represent a significant challenge: finding a highly qualified executive who fits your company..
What can be explained in a sentence is actually a complex process. This requires, in addition to many years of experience, a broad pool of excellently trained professionals and executives.
As you will have a hard time attracting qualified executives through job advertisements alone. In recruitment processes at this level, direct approach (Direct Search) plays a central role in filling key positions.
With our Executive Search & Headhunting, we address this need precisely. We support you from selection to onboarding – ensuring you find executives who bring the necessary skills, quickly adapt to your complex business requirements, and drive your company's visions and goals forward.
How Direct Approach Works
For over 25 years, DEKRA Arbeit Group has been helping client companies fill vacant positions with the right candidates. One of our core competencies is filling leadership positions through direct approach or executive search and headhunting.
In a direct approach, hard facts and compelling arguments are not the only relevant factors. A high degree of sensitivity and tactful communication with potential executives are essential for successful recruitment.
However, our work in executive search and headhunting begins much earlier. Direct approach at DEKRA Arbeit Group roughly consists of the following five steps:
1. Needs Analysis:
In a detailed consultation, we conduct an in-depth analysis of the requirements for the position to be filled. We identify the necessary skills, experience, and personality traits of your desired executive and create a detailed job profile.
2. Recherche und Identifizierung:
Once the requirements are clearly defined, our recruiters conduct thorough research to identify potential candidates. We leverage our extensive database of potential professionals and utilise professional networks and various other resources to identify suitable executives.
3. Contact and Approach:
The actual direct approach begins in the next step: Our recruiters make direct contact with the identified candidates. It is crucial to formulate a professional, persuasive, yet tactful approach since the desired candidates are usually still employed in other positions.
4. Potential Analysis and Selection:
Once candidates have positively responded to our inquiries, we conduct a careful potential analysis and select the most promising candidates. This may involve structured interviews, reference checks, personality tests, and other assessment methods to ensure the candidates possess the desired skills and are a good fit for your company in all other aspects.
5. Onboarding and Integration:
After successfully selecting and hiring your desired candidate, we support you through the onboarding process. This includes integration into the company, clarification of expectations and roles, and assistance as the new employee enters their new position and role.
