Specialists and managers

Headhunting

For roles where the good people already have a job and don’t read ads. We find them, interest them and present only the ones who really fit.

When it fits

  • The role is niche and job ads don’t bring the right candidates.
  • You need someone fast, but not at any cost.
  • You are hiring a specialist or manager whose work decides a team’s results.
  • You want to pay only when you hire.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

All questions
01Why not just post a job ad ourselves?

For many roles a job ad works well, and we’ll tell you so. For key roles the best people usually aren’t looking and don’t read ads. You have to find them, interest them and assess them. That’s our job.

02Do we pay if we don’t hire anyone?

Not for Headhunting: you pay only when a contract is signed. For Executive Search, the first two instalments fall due when the Order is signed and when the shortlist is presented, so they pay for the search work itself; the third falls due on the hire. That’s why we only take on mandates we’re confident we can deliver.

03How much does it cost?

Headhunting is 18% of the hired candidate’s annual gross salary. Executive Search is 22–25%, paid in three parts. Market Mapping starts at €2,500. The minimum fee is €3,000, and all amounts exclude VAT.
