IESF Group recruiting international

The requirements for corporate governance have increased significantly in recent years. Both legislators and regulators around the world have responded to the weaknesses of corporate governance and compensation practices with new regulations and codes of conduct. The regulations cover very different areas such as the professionalisation of supervisory and administrative boards, the responsibilities for financial and risk management and the remuneration of top management.

As a result, filling VR positions has become one of the most challenging tasks. It is especially about bringing experience, operational competence and reliability.

The interaction of a well-functioning independent board with the CEO is the prerequisite for success.

Since we recruit both functions, we also know exactly what is important. Each function whether board or CEO needs to be staffed according to the specific needs of each position and their duties.

The search process

As a rule, board members and CEO are searched for hidden, i. The company wants to be as discreet as possible in the market and only indirectly attract potential candidates. In this regard, as with any other direct search, we receive a thorough briefing, from which the essential wish criteria of the candidates can be seen:

• specific experience in comparable leadership positions
• Achievement and specialization
• Industries Know how
• further education
• Personal characteristics and motivation

The timeframe for these challenging searches is typically 3 months, with less of the timing component in board- and CEO positions than, ultimately, the most appropriate candidacy.
