Solution

In close collaboration with the board, we defined all key competencies for this position of high strategic importance and pointed out any important points, taking into account that two cultures needed to be harmonised. Thanks to our insight, we were asked to write the confirmation letter.

Together with our client, we identified a target group, consisting exclusively of Benelux-based companies who were active in the automotive sector. We also defined a second target group of companies with a comparable environment, as second priority.

Result

Our very specific search based upon the first priority target list delivered the shortlist of three candidates within a period of eight weeks.
