Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between C-level and executive recruitment?

C-level refers to the most senior members of the executive leadership team (CEO, CFO, COO, CHRO, and others). Executive recruitment covers a broader range – directors, department heads, and key people one level below. Both use executive search, with the same methods and precision.

Do you also recruit specialists and key people?

Yes. We recruit senior specialists and key people where the right expertise is critical, not just formal leadership roles.

Can you help internationally?

Yes. As a member of InterSearch Worldwide, we have a network in 50+ countries – global reach with local execution.

What if we need someone quickly?

If the role is vacant now, an interim leader can secure operations while we conduct a thorough search for the permanent solution.
