The recruiting function is the hidden lever which invisibly moves an organization’s performance -
both up or down.

We Search - you Hire - the Best.

As a headhunting advisory boutique, we are often asked to step into a failed big-league search which did not yield the desired candidates for an important strategic position. Because we approach candidates on eye level - exec to exec contact only - we reliably generate INTEREST and MOBILIZE the top talents in the market for your company.

As your executive search consultant, we are YOUR company's FACE. 

  • We engage in an in-depth discovery process for each position to be filled, making sure we understand your company’s DNA, the position’s strategic challenges and the candidates ideal profile fit before we go start the hunt.

  • We have access to unique international networks which allows us to locate the highest-performing candidates.

  • We work with an advisory fee structure which beats the big players and reflects our lean operations and boutique infrastructure, creating a sizable cost advantage to our clients and nurtures a long-term cooperation.

Most executives not only underestimate the strong effect recruiting success and mistakes have on performance, they have also never looked at the true and total cost of a mishire.

At EQUITALENT, we are keeping executive search honest:
We deliver old-school person-to-person headhunting with the wide reach and precision of modern search technologies.

In an industry where the research and first contacts are typically relegated to the non-experienced, we deliver the entire search value chain out of ONE HAND. We represent the FACE of your company and tell your exciting business story to raise the best candidates’ interest. Then, we apply both experience-based human intuition and professional assessment methodologies to select truly suitable candidates for your consideration.

Our Search is Focused on Your Strategic Objectives

Identifying the right fit goes far beyond the skills and formal qualifications of a candidate —it is about fully understanding the strategic objectives of the position, its anchoring within the existing leadership structure, your specific business goals for the next 3-5 years, and yes - enriching your culture and collaboration with the right mindset, energy, and personality.

Before we start any search, we spend a lot of time up-front with you and the key stakeholders around the position to compile a detailed and in-depth position profile. Then, we translate these insights into an appealing, honest, and respectfully detailed search profile to raise the interest of the potential candidates we identify.
