Executive search

‘Identifying future proof leaders to solve tomorrow’s challenges’

De Vroedt & Thierry has almost 45 years of expertise in executive search. We support our clients through (executive) searches in finding future proof talent and enabling them to adapt to the new status quo. If desired, we can also teach clients how to design the selection process themselves, so they are also capable of identifying the ideal talent, and as a consequence less dependent on external consultants.

'When you look at crucial positions within the top of an organisation, for example the position of HR Director, the difference is usually not in competencies. These are generally mastered at that level. The difference is whether someone is able to really help the organisation difficult times. The latter has more to do with personality and what drives you, than with experience or competencies!'
