Our Hamburg-based headhunting team has successfully completed an executive search for an AZAV-certified training provider – both management positions were filled within the agreed project timeframe.
The assignment was carried out as a confidential recruitment process. Accordingly, the recruitment project focused on the discreet direct approach of suitable executives, a rigorous pre-selection process and close coordination with the client.
Two senior positions in education management have been successfully filled
The organisation was seeking leaders to fill key roles within its training and further education programmes. In addition to experience in education management, the roles required, in particular, leadership skills, strong organisational abilities and a good understanding of the requirements of a professionally run educational provider.
The Hamburg-based recruitment consultants identified suitable candidates through executive search, direct search and proactive candidate outreach, and guided them through the selection process in a structured manner.
Both tasks were successfully completed within the planned project timeframe.
Close cooperation between headhunters and educational institutions
A key factor in the success of the project was the ongoing collaboration with the client. The search criteria, the candidate market and selection decisions were closely coordinated throughout the project.
This enabled feedback from the candidate market to be incorporated directly into the ongoing search for candidates, and suitable executives to be brought into the process swiftly. At the same time, the necessary confidentiality regarding the succession appointments was maintained at all times.
Executive Search for Education Sector
For Kontrast Personalberatung, the successful completion of this project confirms the particular importance of specialist recruitment consultancy in the education sector. Educational institutions require leaders who can combine their educational and social mission with personnel management, organisation and financially viable structures.
Particularly when filling senior management and succession roles, simply publishing a job advert is often insufficient. Discreet executive search makes it possible to approach even experienced specialists and executives who are not actively seeking new roles.
Our recruitment consultancy team based in Hamburg and Berlin supports educational providers, adult education institutions and employers in the fields of academia, research and the public sector in filling demanding specialist and management roles.
