Executive Search Mandate

For executives and senior leaders who need a structured, discreet search rather than scattershot applications. We work as your external counsel across positioning, outreach, interviews, and offer decisions.

Who this is for

You are leaving a leadership role, or you have already left, and the next appointment must fit your standing in the German employment market. Public job boards rarely surface the mandates you want. Headhunters may already know you — but you still need an independent view of your narrative, target list, and negotiation posture.

What is included

  • A written positioning brief covering your career arc, industry anchors, and non-negotiables
  • A living target list of employers, holdings, and search firms relevant to your mandate level
  • Rework of your Lebenslauf and short profile for German and international readers
  • Outreach cadence guidance (when to write, when to wait, when to escalate)
  • Preparation for each serious conversation, including expected pressure points
  • Offer review support: package structure, notice periods, and signing conditions

What is excluded

We do not act as a recruitment agency placing candidates into our own open roles. We do not guarantee interviews or a signed contract. We do not submit applications under your name without your explicit approval of each step.

How the work unfolds

  1. Intake conversation — Situation, constraints, confidentiality boundaries, and desired timeline.
  2. Positioning sprint — Two to three focused sessions to lock the story and the target map.
  3. Active search phase — Weekly check-ins while outreach and conversations progress.
  4. Closing counsel — Offer comparison, counter-proposals, and exit from the current arrangement if still employed.

Preparation on your side

Bring clarity on geographic flexibility, industry limits, and any non-compete or garden-leave constraints. If documents exist (prior Lebenslauf, references, assessment reports), share them under NDA before the first working session.
