Our Expertise

We are introducing a new standard of excellence to the local market. Our mission is to provide high-quality executive search services, built on commitment, long-term partnerships, and unwavering support for our clients.

We support companies across various industries and sizes, from traditional mid-sized businesses to large corporations. In today’s dynamic business environment, making the right talent decisions is more critical than ever. With our expertise and comprehensive solutions, we guide you toward lasting success.

Our Expertise in Numbers

Our business in Serbia operates as a classic executive search model. This does not mean we work exclusively at the executive level, rather, we adhere to a structured retained search methodology.

Unlike volume based recruitment, retained search is a highly focused and strategic approach. We take on a limited number of projects each year, ensuring that each assignment is carefully tailored and executed with precision, dedication, and a qualified direct search strategy.

Since the establishment of our office, this approach has enabled us to achieve the following key performance indicators:

94%
Placement Rate

Our proportion of successful placements among all completed projects

73%
Projects from Returning Clients

Our clients know they can trust us and they return for our services

86
Average Days to Placement

Our Functions` Focus

We support the local branches of European companies in finding the right personnel solutions for key local roles. Our clients are primarily German companies and businesses from the DACH region, as well as investors from other European markets.

Our expertise spans both the manufacturing sector and companies in the service and trade industries, with a strong focus on the top two hierarchical levels of local organizational structures.

MANAGEMENT

We help companies secure top and middle management talent. Whether you need a Chief Executive Officer, Managing Director, Plant Manager, or a specialized functional leader in Finance, HR, Sales, Production, or another key area, we are here to find the perfect fit.

REGIONAL ROLES

Belgrade, Zagreb, Ljubljana, and other regional cities often serve as strategic hubs for companies operating across the Adriatic region. Whether your needs are for a regional general management unit, sales function, or another critical role, we will help you find the right match.

HIGH-RINKING EXPERTS

Some positions are vital to a company’s success even without direct leadership responsibilities. Regardless of where a role fits within the organizational structure, if it requires specialized expertise or is particularly hard to fill, we are committed to finding the right candidate.

Core Competence in Discreet Direct Approach

In today’s dynamic business environment, executive search often requires a discreet, direct approach – our core competency. Since establishing our presence in Belgrade, more than half of our projects have been conducted as confidential searches.

Our Industries` Focus

Our business is designed to operate as a generalist rather than specializing in specific industries. This broad focus allows us to apply our proven methodology and deep commitment to each project, delivering successful results across all sectors.

Our Partners and Consultants bring over a decade of experience in search and selection across diverse industries. Over the years, there were successfully conducted searches in banking, insurance, telecommunications, professional services, agribusiness, retail and wholesale, software engineering, consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, life sciences, chemicals and others.
