Direct Search

The best candidates are not actively looking for a new challenge. But it is essential to reach precisely these candidates! Our experience shows that more than 80% of all top candidates today need to be identified via direct search and contacted personally by our Executive Search Consultants to inspire them to switch to our clients. Recruitment advertisements on job portals and in business networks are less relevant in this respect. We find the best candidates for our clients by establishing qualified initial contact on equal terms and this regularly leads to excellent results. We present the ideal candidates who are best prepared for a switch to our clients. Highly motivated and full of passion!

Executive Search Consulting in retail and e-commerce

At DELTACON Executive Search, Dietrich Groth who has spent many years in top leadership positions at e-tailers and in brand industry, provides excellent expertise for all sales channels and sales formats. eCommerce is increasingly becoming a key part of the market and is a fast-growing area in retail.

Executive Search Consulting in FMCG / Consumer Goods (non-food)

The consumer goods industry is highly varied – a broad field with highly diverse challenges. Consumption behaviours are shifting, new trends are taking over and the global markets are also moving closer in this industry. Product lifecycles are decreasing and this results in many different challenges for consumer goods manufacturers. DELTACON Executive Search covers these exciting segments of the consumer goods industry with almost 30 years of experience. Our focus lies on industries and companies in the outdoor and lifestyle, home and living, household, DIY and stationery sectors.

Executive Search Consulting in packaging

The packaging industry is one of the industries booming around the world – with all the advantages and disadvantages that this entails. DELTACON Executive Search also attaches great importance to sustainability here: we concentrate on the parts of the packaging industry that perform best from an ecological standpoint – i.e. cardboard packaging made from recycled paper. This includes shipping boxes as well as folding cartons and POS displays. Our expertise is complemented with incredibly in-depth know-how in the printing industry. We regularly fill top leadership positions as well as specialist roles – in management, sales, production, development and procurement. Our customers primarily include innovative, cutting-edge and future-oriented companies that operate sustainably.

Frequently asked questions about Executive Search Consulting in Berlin

What questions does the head-hunter ask in interviews?

The questions that our Executive Search Consultants ask in interviews depend on the requirements of the position in the client’s company. We primarily check the technical, methodical and social competencies relevant to the position. After the interview, the answers are evaluated for maximum suitability with these core competencies. DELTACON’s approach of competence-based interview techniques significantly improves the informative value of interviews by increasing both the degree of structure and the relevance according to requirements. Interview results become measurable and comparable.

What are the most important interview questions for a CEO position?

The skills that DELTACON Executive Search Consultants examine in a competence-based interview depend on the respective position. The CEO role can also be distinguished from other C-level positions (COO, CFO, CTO, CSO, CHRO, CMO, CIO), as well as commercial and technical management, mid-level and low-level management and project management. The corporate culture and associated management policies and company values also play a key role. Examples of core competencies for CEO positions include appreciative leadership, entrepreneurial mindset and behaviour, strategic agility, simplification of complexity and, above all, independent motivation. Ideal C-level candidates excel when they are able to credibly demonstrate their understanding of leadership, leadership values and their outstanding motivation and management skills using concrete examples. Here, a top candidate should be able to reflect on their own management strengths and purposefully apply them when planning and implementing strategies.

How is it possible to assess the quality of Executive Search Consulting?

During the search and hiring process, the performance of the Executive Search Consultant is clearly measurable using defined and objectively quantifiable skills according to the requirements profile and the quality of the candidates presented in a short list. After filling the position, quality can be measured based on feedback discussions with the presented and hired candidate and the client. This is where defined KPIs prove to be very helpful.

How are candidates compared?

It goes without saying that a comparison based solely on a candidate interview does not go far enough. DELTACON Executive Search utilises a defined competence-based interview, including quality rankings, as well as a psychometric assessment and culture matcher – an online and scientifically backed process that determines the fit between the candidate’s personality and the corporate culture.

How can I identify top performers?

To identify top performers, DELTACON uses potential analyses and profiling methods – in addition to other selection instruments – in order to make the potential, inner drive, interests as well as the culture fit of candidates measurable. An ideal appointment should primarily facilitate the long-term business success of our clients. DELTACON potential analyses and profiling are also used in talent management, where we support our clients in deploying staff in the right area or carrying out targeted successor and career planning. Last but not least, potential analyses and profiling also support personnel development, especially in management development. The targeted coaching of managers enables individual and tailored learning. The use of analysis methods is also a powerful tool for fostering and controlling a deliberate management culture that makes a key contribution to the development of the company culture and long-term success of the business.
