Find the perfect sales executive with executive search

The search for an executive is a demanding task. It's not just about finding someone who is technically qualified; personality, leadership skills and alignment with company culture are just as important. This is where executive search comes in.

Executive search, often referred to as headhunting, is the direct and targeted search for highly qualified specialists and executives. Unlike a traditional job advertisement, where candidates come to you, we actively seek out the best talent on the market.

Executive search includes:

  • Project supervision by our senior consultants or executives
  • Personal profile assessment on-site
  • Creation of a qualified target company list
  • Search in internal and external databases
  • Extensive market research
  • Posting job adverts
  • Recruitment under the four-eyes principle with two experienced contacts
  • Direct phone approach and personal interviews with all candidates
  • Reference checks for all candidates on the shortlist
  • Consultants' travel expenses
  • All candidate profiles
  • Preparation and moderation of structured candidate days to safeguard your selection decision

We set high standards for sales executives

The role of a sales executive is complex and multifaceted. Successful Sales Managers must not only possess strong sales skills but also have the ability to motivate, lead teams and think strategically. 

An excellent sales executive is a true asset to any company. They secure market position, drive growth, increase customer retention and optimise sales processes. However, finding such an executive requires careful selection, as certain skills and characteristics are indispensable.

  • Strategic thinking and vision
    A successful sales executive develops clear sales strategies aligned with the company's goals. They understand market dynamics, identify new business opportunities and implement them consistently. Moreover, they can develop long-term vision and inspire the team. They analyse, understand and enhance what is already there. 
     
  • Leadership skills and employee development
    A good sales executive is a coach, mentor and trainer for their team. They motivate and inspire employees, promote their personal and professional development and create a positive working environment. They also have the ability to resolve conflicts and build a high-performance team.
     
  • Digital competence and agility
    In today's digital world, it is essential that sales executives have digital skills. They must be able to use new technologies to optimise sales processes and enhance customer satisfaction. In addition, they must be agile and able to adapt quickly to changing market conditions.
