Executive Search Consulting consumer goods / FMCG (non food) & trade

For many years, we have been supporting renowned companies in Europe in the (non-food) consumer goods industry / FMCG and in retail. Especially the development towards the "Multi Channel Approach" within the consumer goods industry and also the retail sector is the very special challenge - accordingly the requirements for the executives and specialists have changed a lot. This is where Dietrich Groth's experience in the industry and in retail provides a very decisive added value.

personalberatung-outdoor

Executive Search Consulting outdoor & lifestyle

Mega trends, speed, short product life cycles in combination with extremely high complexity characterize the industries "Outdoor & Lifestyle". These industries actually have quite a high radiance in the candidate market, but many companies need significant support to actually find the best and the really fitting candidates. This is where DELTACON Executive Search comes in: Intensive briefings to create the candidate profile with all relevant stakeholders, professional candidate assessment and selection and a silver platter with the actual best fitting candidates deliver the decisive added value for our clients.

personalberatung-verpackungsmittel

Executie Search Consulting packaging materials

The packaging market has been facing challenges for decades: Concentration on the manufacturer side, new technologies combined with significant investment requirements, massive shifts in sales markets, a high level of competition, volatile raw material markets and the trend towards "end-to-end solutions" on the customer side. This complexity of the market shapes the demands on executives in the packaging market. At DELTACON Executive Search, we have known this market for 30 years - and not only the manufacturer side, but also the customer side.

Frequently asked questions to Dietrich Groth

As a recruiter, how do you "measure" the cultural fit of a candidate to the company?

"I have a good overall feeling about this candidate..." is a very common statement in companies when making a personnel decision. This feeling should not be ignored when making a personnel decision, but if you want to reduce unwanted personnel departures - and that is what matters - then you need a valid basis for personnel decisions - especially with regard to "soft skills" and "cultural fit". At DELTACON Executive Search, we rely on a modern and scientifically based online tool that provides us and our clients with results that round off the candidate assessment and make the "gut feeling" measurable.

What guarantees do you give as an Executive Search Consultant?

The most important guarantee is: We deliver what we promise! This sounds casual at first, but it delivers a very decisive added value for our customers and our candidates. Whether it is the promised duration of the process, a highly professional and transparent candidate assessment and selection, and the promise to also fill the mandated positions - numerous awards, in the course of which our clients and candidates were surveyed, document that our promises are GUARANTEED to be kept.
