Challenge
Seeking senior positions with specialist experience and skills
Our client has operations in over 40 countries. They were looking to hire a Commercial Director for its Austria business, while also proactively seeking candidates for a potential General Manager role one to two years down the line.
Both candidates needed strong English language skills and experience of specialist oncology products.
Both roles were paying in excess of €170k plus executive package.
Solution
Successful recruitment, future talent identified and a wealth of insights to drive business decisions
Our remit was to map the Austrian market (including Austrian nationals who were working elsewhere in Europe), then speak to these individuals to find candidates for both roles. At the same time, we were also gathering real-time market insight.
Insights help guide future business and hiring decisions
We not only successfully found the right people for the roles, we also shared the information we uncovered throughout the process. Our final Search Analysis Report gave insights into:
competitor activity
role remit, responsibility and title,
salary and package,
brand perception,
diversity and inclusion,
geography and other relevant topics.
Ongoing work
Our client was very happy with the outcome and we recently worked with them on a similar exercise for a business unit based in Asia-Pacific.
