W-GRUPPE has experienced above-average growth in recent years, fostering a culture of respect and open communication on an equal footing. As a leading executive search firm, we serve the digital, technology, IT, management consulting, pharmaceutical, medical device and healthcare industries. For our next stage of growth, we need your support!
We're looking for someone to join our search team
In collaboration with the partner (headhunter) managing the client and the project team responsible for the assignment, you will define the search strategy (e.g. based on parameters such as company size, location, industry, years of experience, education and other factors). These parameters serve as criteria for configuring the various search tools you use (e.g. Boolean search or ontological term clouds). In the next step, you verify and validate the search results with additional parameters and qualify the candidates for the next stage of the search process.
The results of your search will have a significant impact on the speed of delivery, client satisfaction and profitability of the project.
What makes this job exciting?
You will always be working as part of a team. In your role, you will continuously manage multiple mandates from different industries. Our clients' roles and requirements are always new, giving you an exciting insight into the companies, industries, roles, responsibilities and accountabilities of the executives being sought.
How do our teams work?
We don't have a traditional hierarchical organisation. We work as a team according to the search mandates/projects and the needs of our clients.
Our success is the result of an open, transparent culture where everyone can contribute and learn from each other. As technology enthusiasts, we use only the latest and coolest technologies and work in a fully digitalised environment that allows everyone on the search team to complete their tasks regardless of location or time of day. A coach will help you through the onboarding process (everyone is happy when you join).
Culture
We practice respect, solution-oriented thinking, constructive questioning, pragmatism and accountability with each other and with our clients and service providers/partners. We don't always take ourselves seriously and often laugh at ourselves; we are confident but also critical of our actions.
What should you bring?
A positive attitude, an interest in new things and people, and curiosity.
Ambition and a willingness to progress in your role and contribute to the team. Be communicative and helpful, let yourself be helped, enjoy discussing and interacting with interesting people. Laugh and have fun, celebrate successes and see failures as a step towards improvement..
What helps (what you usually read elsewhere)
A degree is not necessary, but can help. Native German speaker, English is a plus and we find any additional language interesting. Quick comprehension, the ability to grasp connections quickly and the ability to abstract. A knack for data, numbers, mathematics, pattern recognition (not essential, but helpful).
An affinity for technology (we can teach you too), MAC or Windows (okay, we think MAC is cooler, or at least most of the team does).
What we promise
We deliberately leave out the usual things that are usually a little different in reality. You can join us right out of university, come back after a career break, work from home, in the office, mornings, afternoons or even nights if you like; whenever and wherever you are most effective. We provide everything you need.
You'll learn a lot, have an exciting role at the intersection of people and technology, work with a great team, enjoy a completely flexible working model and have the opportunity to develop your career.
We would like to hear from you and look forward to receiving your usual documents. Please quote Ref. 9003.
