Executive Search

The development of any business is shaped by people, with their characteristic ideas, with their drive, and with their personalities. From Berlin to Beijing, from medium-sized businesses to major corporations, from the board member to the specialist: we can boost value creation at our clients, because we find the best candidates and inspire them for new challenges – via direct approaches or advertisements.

Successful specialists and executives are internationally minded, move confidently in globalized markets, and always keep an eye on shareholder value and innovation management. Modern executive search does not only follow these trends, but paves the way in terms of competency requirements and analyses. Since 1945, we have been at the forefront of many innovations in executive search services. Tradition and experience are the essential preconditions for these innovations. We are always pushing our methodology further and are committed to adjusting it continuously to match the changing needs of our clients.

As the market leader for the search and selection of specialist and executive staff, Kienbaum can rely on an international matrix of consultants with near ubiquitous presence. This ensures that we are always near our clients, wherever they are, and gives us a strong sense for current developments in the economy. All business is local, but it is getting more and more complex.

Our answer to this is a system of integrated Practice Groups with defined focus industries in the areas of the automotive industry, energy & utilities, financial services, health care, industry / mechanical &plant engineering, consumer goods &retail, the public sector, professional services, telecommunications, it, media & entertainment (time). With this concept, we have established a recipe for global success in consultancy work: the best consultants for the customer!
