Senior mandates

CEO, Board and C-level mandates
The judgement stays with the partner
In retained executive search, finding names is rarely the difficult part. The harder part is reading the mandate correctly, understanding the context and knowing when the market should be approached.
No handover of judgement
A senior partner stays accountable from the first conversation to the final decision.
Fewer mandates, higher focus
Mandate before candidate lists
We do not run volume recruitment.
We take fewer mandates so senior work stays senior.
Before approaching the market, we clarify what the role must solve and where the risk sits.
Two founders. One operating standard.
Led by founding partners who remain involved
Every senior search has one accountable partner. The parts that matter most stay with the senior partner: mandate clarity, market approach, candidate calibration and final alignment.

How we work
How senior judgement stays close to the decision
We take fewer mandates, lead them directly and keep senior judgement close to the decision.
Retained by design
Fewer mandates, higher focus
We work on retained
CEO, Board and C-level mandates. Not a success-fee recruitment model.
We take fewer mandates so senior work stays senior.
Direct market approach
Partner accountability
We approach selected leaders directly and discreetly.
The mandate is led by a senior partner from start to finish.
Where we operate
CEE is the core. Cross-border when the mandate requires it
We lead senior executive search mandates across CEE, with selected searches into DACH and the UK when the ownership, market or leadership context requires it.
Our core market. Senior mandates across Slovakia, Czechia, Hungary and the wider region — often in multinational, investor-backed or regulated environments.
CEE Region
Selected cross-border searches connected to regional leadership, ownership, succession or transformation contexts.
Targeted senior mandates where the leadership market, investor structure or company ownership requires cross-border reach.
Focused reach.
We work where the mandate requires real access.
Standards and trust
Trust comes from how the work is handled
Senior mandates require controlled access, clear standards and careful handling of information.
Confidential by default
Data protection
Clear standards
Professional conduct
