The labor market is changing: candidates ask employers for flexibility and development opportunities. Employers ask candidates for 21st century skills: collaboration, self-direction, empathy, problem-solving ability. I see the effective guidance of these two parties in the changing labor market as the task of today's executive search consultant. After my studies in France, I worked at a French bank, where I held various commercial positions. Thanks to a next step in Mergers & Acquisitions, I have experienced how important the human factor is in organizations. Partly because of this, I ended up in executive search and career advice. In the long-term relationships that we strive for, both in executive search with clients and candidates, and in career advice, the quality of attention is essential. Listen carefully, ask the right questions and be sincere in your feedback. This is the best way to make contact and stick with it.
