Committed to
Excellence

Here’s how we find the right top manager for you.

  1. Needs analysis/requirements profile
  2. Search strategy, market research, and candidate identification
  3. Direct outreach/candidate interviews and candidate evaluation
  4. Presentation of candidates/interview process with the client
  5. Client decision-making/contract negotiation

We complement this proven process with four key approaches that make the MEA difference for our clients:

In-depth analysis of “Culture, People, and Challenges”

For all our assignments, we follow a tailored search strategy.

The entire process is a “top priority” for us

A managing partner is fully responsible for the project from start to finish. Throughout the process, the Managing Partner is supported by another Managing Partner, who oversees research, project coordination, and the in-house research team.

The MEA questionnaire tool

Our specially developed questionnaire tool helps us create comprehensive profiles. This gives our clients a complete overview of the relevant skills of the candidates.

Certified management diagnostics

In-house support, certified in management diagnostics, is provided for our executive search projects, using scientifically validated diagnostic tools. This ensures that nothing is left to chance in filling your vacancy. We offer additional services for integration and/or leadership development.

What our customers say

For one of our subsidiaries, operating in a very niche market segment, we were able to hire an exceptional industry expert as managing director for sales and marketing. With enormous sensitivity, he restructured the entire company and achieved remarkable, sustainable increases in both revenue and profits (and ultimately oversaw the successful sale of the subsidiary). Our deepest thanks!
