Executive Search for Consultancies
Partner, principal, project lead — in consulting it is decided early who takes on responsibility. The people who can do it are in demand and rarely on the market. For more than 20 years we have been finding them for leading consultancies and Fortune 500 companies.
The bottleneck is not the talent. It is the pyramid.
At entry level, consultancies have no shortage of applicants. At partner level, things look different. Anyone looking for a partner, principal or director today is drawing on a market that has been thinned out over years — by moves into industry, in-house functions or self-employment.
That is where we start: with experienced consultants who moved in-house and want to return, and with those who sit at a competitor and are not looking at all.
Three fields, every level
IT consulting, strategy consulting, business consulting — plus the in-house consulting units of large corporations. We fill roles in all four fields, from senior consultant to partner.
What we do: We know the career logic of consulting, the difference between up-or-out and expert tracks, and the reasons people move on. That keeps conversations with candidates short and honest.
The result: A shortlist of people who know the pace of consulting — and want it.
Direct approach instead of job ads
The candidates you are looking for do not read job ads. They are engaged, well paid and their employers work hard to keep them. They can be reached personally — and only with an argument that goes beyond salary.
What we do: We identify the people who already carry the responsibility you are hiring for and approach them directly. Discreetly, without routing anything through your company.
Filled internationally
Consulting mandates rarely stop at national borders. We have filled partner and principal roles for locations across Europe, Asia and North America, among them Russia, China and Romania.
If your position requires international mobility, that is not an exception for us.
Let us talk about your position.
Whether a search succeeds is decided at the beginning, not at the end — in how the role is cut, in the requirements profile and in who is approached in the first place. We are glad to discuss that before you award a mandate.
