Executive & Specialist Search
Who is the right person, and how do you reach them?
The situation
A role your team or business unit depends on. A narrow pool. People who aren’t looking. A job ad won’t reach them.
Our approach
- A brief built with the decision-maker, with compensation tested against the market.
- A map of the pool: who, where, at which firms, at what price.
- A direct, confidential, name-by-name approach.
- Interviews conducted by the partner who took the brief.
- References before any shortlist; support through to the start date.
What you get
A short, well-argued shortlist. One point of contact from brief to onboarding. Fees agreed at the brief.
Scope
- C-level and leadership roles
- Senior professionals and heads of business units
- Experts and hard-to-find specialists
Timing
One week from brief to shortlist.
Two weeks at most when a second sourcing round is needed. On a recent Head of mandate in a critical IT team in Geneva: 39 people approached, 6 interviews, 3 profiles presented, 1 hire.
What it is not
No advertising.
Every mandate is confidential and filled by direct approach: we first map the market, then personally approach the people identified.
No database to clear.
The search starts from the market as it stands at the brief, not from a pool of CVs.
No hand-off.
The person who takes the brief runs the interviews and remains your single point of contact until the start date.
Sectors and scope
Our core: technology roles first, with a strong appetite for Financial Services (private banking, asset management, wealth management). We also work for industry, luxury and watchmaking. Geneva and the Lake Geneva region are our base; we work across Switzerland, with cross-border profiles and, when the role requires it, internationally.
