Executive Search in Dresden
Executive search for managing directors and decision-makers in semiconductors and microelectronics, research, industry and the Saxon Mittelstand.
Microelectronics as the driver
Dresden is one of Europe’s most important locations for microelectronics, alongside research institutes, mechanical engineering and a growing circle of suppliers.
New investments are noticeably raising the demand for experienced executives. For mid-sized companies it is becoming harder to win and keep managers in competition with large plants.
What this means for your appointment
01
Competing with large plants
I show candidates what a leadership role in the Mittelstand offers.
02
Connecting research and industry
The brief is often for people with experience on both sides.
03
Searching beyond the region
Many suitable candidates currently work outside Saxony.
Exclusive direct search
I identify and reach the people who are not actively looking, in the visible and the hidden job market.
A precise fit
No matching against a database, but a search grid tailored to your requirements.
Transparent terms
I work on a retainer basis, as is usual in executive search. We discuss the details openly in the first conversation.

FAQ
Executive search in Dresden: frequently asked questions
How can smaller companies compete with large plants?
With shorter decision paths, visible responsibility and a role that shapes more than it administers. I make that concrete when approaching candidates.
Do you search beyond the region for Dresden?
Yes. For specialists in microelectronics and engineering, the market in Saxony is often too small. We search nationwide and specifically for returnees.
Do you only work in Dresden?
No. I search across Germany. We define the search area for each position together.
What does a search cost?
I work on a retainer basis, as is usual in executive search. The amount depends on the position and the effort; we discuss the details openly in the first conversation.
