robotics, sensors, energy, cleantech and other innovative sectors Regardless of whether it is Big Data, Cloud, AI, IoT, Industry 4.0 or new technology developments: digital and technological change ensures that business models change within a very short space of time – in almost every industry. In addition, there are innovative technologies, e.g. in the areas of renewable energies, sustainability, new drive technologies, medical technology, robotics and sensor technology and many more, which pose disruptive challenges to established companies and enable new companies to experience enormous growth phases. At NELEX, we are convinced that executive search can only be successful in this digital and innovative technological environment if HR consulting is consistently rethought, i.e. if recruiting also consistently uses agile, transparent and innovative processes in addition to the essential personal contacts to filter out the right candidates. That is why we are leanly organized, that is why our consultants work as a team, that is why we are transforming the actual recruiting process from a predominantly "manual data collection process" to an automated "data and therefore intelligence-driven" process.\\ The use of AI allows us to make huge amounts of unstructured data available for selection as part of our candidate search. The result: a much larger and, above all, more precise selection of candidates that we make available to our customers. In this way, we can introduce our clients to the right specialists and managers for their vacancies in the shortest possible time - often after just three to four weeks. At the same time, NELEX also sees itself as a long-term career coach for the candidates by providing them with long-term advice and support. Our goal is to define the future of executive search with a combination of traditional consulting expertise and digital innovation - with unique added value for clients and candidates. We call this Next Level Executive Search.
