Executive Search is the process aiming at identifying the best candidates on the market for a specific position and especially those that are not actively looking for a job.

Senior managers rarely knock on employers’ doors, nor do they apply to ads, be they posted on recruitment sites or in newspapers. The best solution for an organization looking to fill in a leadership position is using the services of an Executive Search company. In order to secure the most appropriate candidates, Executive Search firms resort to a variety of specific methods and, more importantly, these methods are always tailored to the client’s specific needs.

Executive search firms do not consider themselves mere providers of services; their goal is that of establishing long-term partnerships with both clients and candidates. To this end, executive search consultants dedicate themselves to thoroughly understanding their clients and their organizational culture, as well as the position needing to be filled. Moreover, a truly professional executive search consultant does not simply ask what the successful candidate should be like; his role is also that of counseling the client, by providing insightful recommendations and pointing out aspects that refine and even adapt the sought-for profile.

In Romania, the executive search business began taking shortly after the Romanian Revolution, its development being in close relation to economic growth and the penetration of foreign investors on the local market. Whereas previously top management positions were almost entirely reserved for expats, the foreign investors’ need for valuable local resources led to a gradual increase in the number of Romanian managers and, consequently, to an ever growing demand for identifying them.

In 1992, George Butunoiu was among the first Romanians to set up an executive search business in Bucharest, Romania. Having built throughout the years an impressive reputation for successfully concluding countless executive search assignments both in Romania and abroad, the company’s main focus is that of providing personalized solutions to its clients’ needs.

We always work with clients in long-term partnerships so that we might refine our understanding of their businesses, organizations, inner culture and thinking. This means that our executive search consultants not only advise on strategic hires, but also offer insight into the development and implementation of major strategic human resource programs.
