SERVICES
EXECUTIVE SEARCH
We find, contact and involve top profiles (CEO, Senior Executive, Executive) in our searches. Given the extremely confidential nature of these positions, we operate with extreme confidentiality without ad serving, instead – thanks to our vast network developed over the years – we contact the best profiles on the market directly. These profiles are identified in a list of companies previously agreed with our client in order to guarantee the right applications for the product sector of interest.
MAPPING
Mapping is a crucial activity for customers who want to monitor the market evolution of a particular and important professional profile or who plan to be prepared for any organizational need. In which case, we define with our client a target list of companies within which to develop the mapping then we generate a document containing relevant information on the identified professionals (position, sector of responsibility, compensation package, flexibility, notice time and/or particular contractual restrictions).
ORGANIZATIONAL & COMPENSATION SURVEYS
These surveys allow our customers to understand the organization of their competitors and their compensation policies with respect to a given position or a specific business area. The knowledge of this information allows companies to compare themselves with other ones and therefore to take corrective and improving actions.
