  • OUR SERVICES OFFERED

    Our Executive Search practice is different in ways that will make a big difference to you.

     

    We welcome you to take a tour!

    Search as a TEAM

    Our consultant you engage works with in managing every aspect of your executive search, providing you with distinctly personal service and direct accountability. The people you see are the people you get. 

     

    Each time you engage us in an Executive Search, you gain access to the expertise and market reach of all our consultants. 

    The power of this trusted network places the insight and resources of our entire company at each consultant’s fingertips, making our solutions richer and more responsive, and creating tangible and enduring business impact for our customers.

    The Ideal candidate

    Through extensive intakes, we strive to know all we can about your organization to gain deep insight into what kind of leader will be most effective for you. 

     

    We pinpoint the ideal candidate’s competencies, personality traits, and behavioral characteristics. 

     

    As we work with you to develop candidate profiles, we help you weigh not only the immediate challenges of the role, but also your overall strategic objectives and the corresponding opportunities to enhance diversity and inclusion.

    Your Power through our Knowledge

    In a competitive world for the best executive (war for) talent, you don’t want to waste time educating your search consultant on the realities of your business. 

     

    All of our consultants have many years of expertise who understand how things work in your world. 

     

    We maintain and constantly refresh strong personal connections to the best current and future executive talent.

    In depth Search

    With the objective well defined, our consultants personally and confidentially engage their relationships to identify candidates prepared to meet your needs and connect you to highly diverse talent pools. 

     

    A team of researchers run simultaneously your requirements through relevant segments of our database, which is continually refreshed to track top talent. 

     

    Through this rigorous process, we closely examine candidates who appear to be a potential match, analyzing critical incidents in their careers for insights into how they might navigate the challenges they would face in your targeted role.

    Top notch Connections

    Our consultant approaches the best qualified candidates personally, with great discretion. Our experience, and the care we show when contacting candidates conveys that we are peers, prepared to offer them valuable insights and honest advice. 

     

    As we move deeper into conversation with interested, well-qualified candidates, we conduct interviews and evaluate beyond the customary professional track record check and referencing. 

     

    We methodically surface the candidate’s full range of capabilities, personal tendencies, and behavioral characteristics, to discover their readiness to perform in the targeted role, and assess how smoothly they would integrate into your organization and culture.

    Trust-Based Negotiation

    Our consultants take time to gain intimate understanding of each candidate’s requirements and concerns. So as the search progresses into the hiring phase, we are thoroughly prepared to serve as facilitator. 

     

    We work as trusted advisors to both client and candidate, expertly facilitating a successful hiring negotiation. 

     

    Our fixed fee policy assures that we can play this vital yet sensitive role with no conflict of interest.

    Integration through follow-up

    Our services do not end with a successful hire. For newly appointed candidates, after the first 3 months, and again after 6 months, a talent coach contacts both the customer and the candidate to reflect on the past months. 

     

    Working in collaboration with the hiring manager and the HR manager, we help you build an accurate and insightful picture of the integration challenge. We carefully advise where things might go wrong in an open dialogue. 

     

    Through the first 3 months, our consultant and talent coach gather and distill candid feedback on the first impressions the executive is creating during the initial integration. 

     

    We meet one-on-one with the executive at regular intervals – creating “islands of time” to allow them briefly to set aside all-consuming operational priorities, reflect on progress, identify and prioritize early wins, and calibrate their approach as needed.

    Corporate Governance is "key" !

    Requiring Certified Candidates

    Whilst the fact that the term "corporate governance" is beginning to become commonplace, it is not easy to unambiguously define this concept. In essence, governance has to do with management, control, accountability, supervision and control. The aim is to organize the management structures and the decision-making processes of an enterprise more efficiently, to objectify and to make them more transparent. Good governance is thus not an end in itself but a means to realize the business strategy.

     

    "Good governance has to do with hygiene not with health" (dixit Koen Geens, Federal Minister of Justice)

     

     

    broken image

    Certified Candidates and Experienced Interim Managers?

    Sound governance is about "doing the right things and doing things right ... at the right time". What's 'right' for a company will depend heavily on the view of the company, the priority interests that are represented and the values ​​that are respected. Naturally, the business environment and the nature of the company also play an important role. Despite this different interpretation, good governance is based on a number of essential building blocks such as 'accountability', independent 'checks and balances', adequate transparency .... These concepts apply to every type of organization, anywhere in the world.

    broken image

    Certified Network

    Atlantae has a strong relationship with GUBERNA's and Women On Board's network of certified directors, CxO level profiles with board level experience, or high potentials having followed Director & Leadership courses. We also have a strong network of expoerienced interim managers.

     

    We encourage all managerial people to follow the GUBERNA courses and become certified to join our network of directors afterwards. We will be more than happy to match your profiles with the mandates we have from our clients.

    broken image

     

     

    GUBERNA, the Institute for Directors, aims to promote good governance in all its dimensions and for all types of companies. It does this both by sensitizing, informing and training. To achieve this goal, GUBERNA and its members (directors, CEOs and top managers) form a dynamic platform for exchanging experiences and transferring knowledge about governance.

     

    Women On Board, is "the" Corporate Governance platform for women in BoD, Advisory Boards, and Interim Management networks. Over 350 female members have experience in HR, finance, sales, logistics, science, strategy and are open for temporary (freelance) interim assignments or management positions for longer periods.
