Behum Executive: executive search for C-suite and senior leaders
Direct, confidential search for CEOs, CFOs, COOs, CTOs and heads of people, operations or plant.
How it works
We identify and select professionals for senior leadership and high-responsibility positions. We run a tailored search process that combines market knowledge, talent identification and a rigorous assessment of each candidate’s competencies, track record and fit with your organisation’s needs and goals.
- 1.
Briefing with leadership
We sit down with the CEO, the owners or the board to understand where the company is, the challenge of the role, the team the new leader will inherit and what never makes it into a job description.
- 2.
Market map
We identify the companies and executives that fit: competitors, adjacent sectors and people who have already solved the same challenge. We share it with you so we decide together where to search.
- 3.
Direct, discreet approach
We contact every candidate personally. Neither your company nor the role is made public until you decide, and the search can run fully confidentially, internally too.
- 4.
In-depth assessment
Leadership competency interviews, a business case on the real challenge of the role and references checked with former managers, peers and reports.
- 5.
Final candidates and report
We present the final candidates with a report on each one: track record, results, leadership style, motivations, terms and the risks we see.
- 6.
Offer and onboarding
We support the offer negotiation and the exit from their current company, and follow up during their first months in the role.
