Amsterdam is a dynamic city where good managers and C-level executives are difficult to recruit. Finding top-level candidates who are ready to take their next career step is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Whether you operate in financial services, information technology, or the industrial sector, most senior executives already have a job. And, truth be told, they're pretty happy with it. If you want to bring them in, it's usually wise to call in the help of senior executive headhunters. So, you googled terms such as 'executive recruitment Amsterdam,'headhunter Netherlands,' 'executive recruitment Netherlands,' and 'C-level executive recruiters.'
As it turns out, there's a plethora of headhunters claiming they can tackle your assignment. But which executive search firm has the extensive experience, in-depth expertise, and wide network required to help you out efficiently?
One keyword in the Dutch capital is definitely 'growth.' Start-ups and scale-ups spring up everywhere, and most grow rapidly. It's not uncommon for them to turn into world renowned service providers (examples include well-known tech and fintech labels). But fast growth should be handled with care. Organizations can only maintain momentum if they expand their sales and management teams according to their needs. They often can't make progress without recruiting new executive talent.
The problem is, the current job market isn't making things easy. Most good managers and C-level executives aren't looking for a job, since they already have one. That's why executive recruitment can be complex and discouraging. After sifting through hundreds of résumés, chances are the mere handful of candidates you've selected show little interest in switching jobs.
How to solve this problem so you can follow through with your plan to establish or expand your Amsterdam office? Work with an experienced executive search firm!
Are you looking for executive recruiters because you want to expand your current (general) management team or C-suite? Do you want to hire good C-level executives to help your Amsterdam-based company spread its wings abroad? Are you headquartered in another country and are you ready to open your first office in Amsterdam? Do you believe your executive search will be extra complex because you need to recruit a C-level executive with subject matter expertise (for example, a supply chain, e-commerce, or finance specialist)?
No matter your specific situation, speed and flexibility are crucial. As senior recruiters with 20+ years of experience in management and sales, we understand that like no other. We're happy to help you expand or put together a management or C-level executive team. Whether you're looking for a CEO, a CFO, or a country manager, we can use our in-depth expertise, local expertise, and wide network to help you effectively. There's virtually no industry we're unfamiliar with, and we like to sink our teeth into complex assignments.
Our sales skills are indispensable in this context. That's because recruitment has turned into sales. It's paramount that you sell a vacancy in a short, concise way. Only then, the candidate's interest will be sparked. Given our experience in management, sales, and recruitment, we know exactly how to talk to them and sell the job and your company. We worked in similar positions for years, which gives us a considerable edge. Most senior executives see us as equals and feel that we're on the same page as them. That's why they're usually open to a conversation with us, even if they've rejected many other recruiters.
Since candidates and clients can often use some guidance during the headhunting process, we also provide advice and coaching where necessary.
We use our experience and sales skills to recruit candidates in Amsterdam. That sounds great, but what does it mean? First of all, we take the time to build a relationship of trust with a suitable candidate. We always schedule several interviews. It's the only way to really get to know each other and discover why someone might want to switch jobs. The latter is crucial to know, but very few senior managers and C-level executives will tell you that right away!
If we believe a candidate is a good fit for the job and your organization (in terms of skills and personality), we pitch your vacancy and company to them.
This approach helps us achieve success time and again. And we act fast: if you decide to work with us, we'll find you a suitable candidate within 3 weeks. That's a guarantee.
