Executive Search Method (Essensys)

Executive Search Method

Essensys applies the highest quality and ethical standards in its search and recruitment process. This basic premise is an integral part of every step in the selection process:

Assignment Brief

Before commencing an Executive Search assignment, Essensys consults you to gain a full insight into the vacant position and the requirements attached to it. Based on this information, Essensys produces a detailed Assignment Brief containing job and profile specifications along with details about corporate strategy and culture, organizational structure and management expectations.

The next stage of the selection process consists of screening a pool of qualified candidates. We identify candidates from various sources based on 1. our desk research through which we entirely map the marketplace of potential candidates in various industries and functional domains, 2. our extensive professional networks and relationships, complemented with 3. our vast database of professional executives. This approach saves you a great deal of time by restricting the number of candidates you will have to consider.

Approach

Potential candidates are approached in the most discrete, confidential and at the same time compelling way, also taking into account their plausible concerns in relation to the career opportunity at hand.

Assess

Further on potential and genuinely interested candidates undergo competence based interviews, professional assessments and thorough reference checking.

Match

Based on this screening, we then propose a number of candidates who are selected in accordance with the highest standards. These are candidates who have the required experience, competences and skills set, as well as the appropriate level of insight and conviction to be able to carry on your company’s vision.

As soon as a potential mutual “match” is converted into an effective hiring we carefully follow up after the actual recruitment through regular contact, checking on performance and fit.
