Saxony
Executive Search in Saxony
Executive search for managing directors and decision-makers in microelectronics, the automotive and supplier industry, mechanical engineering and the Saxon Mittelstand.
An industrial state with microelectronics and car manufacturing
Saxony combines one of Europe’s most important microelectronics locations with a strong automotive and supplier industry, mechanical engineering and research. Dresden, Leipzig and Chemnitz are the economic centres.
New investments and growth are increasing the need for experienced leadership, while the market for top talent is small. Many appointments succeed with returners or with executives who deliberately move to a growing region.
What this means for your appointment
01
Winning back returners
I search specifically for executives with roots in Saxony and central Germany.
02
Competing with large employers
I make visible what a leadership role in the Mittelstand offers.
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.
