Our success stories in challenging markets
Project successes in Germany and worldwide
We have compiled a selection of success stories for you. But every search mandate is unique. We embrace this challenge again and again – with professional passion. What can we do for you?
Successful collaboration at C-level
Over the past five years, as part of a generational change in our management team, we have refilled five C-level positions together with etec, as well as several roles one level below. We were very impressed with the quality of the candidates who made it to the shortlist. Those we selected have become – and continue to be – key pillars of our management team.
Excellent placement in China
Through etec Consult we were able to recruit a General Manager China. etec managed the entire process professionally and to schedule. We are very satisfied with the placement, as the position holder is doing an excellent job. We therefore continue to work with etec on vacancies in Germany and abroad.
Plant managers for China, Romania and India
We have filled various management positions in Germany and abroad with etec Consult. Among other things, we jointly recruited three plant managers for our sites in China, Romania and India. Thanks to its industry specialisation and international network, etec identified very strong managers who fit our corporate culture. We have been working with etec for more than 10 years and are happy to continue this cooperation.
International managing directors in the USA, Japan and Israel
Thanks to the professional advice from etec Consult, we have recruited numerous managing directors for our international subsidiaries in recent years – for example Managing Directors in the USA, Japan and Israel. etec’s industry focus, international network and specialisation in medium-sized businesses form the strong foundation of our cooperation. We look forward to continuing to work together.
Demanding position in quality management
Working with etec Consult enabled us to fill a demanding position in quality management within an appropriate time frame. Communication throughout the search process was always transparent and coherent. The mutual learning process was helpful and efficient. We have now been working with etec Consult for three years and have successfully filled several national and international positions. We are pleased to continue this partnership.
Spot-on placement of a Manager Electronic Controls
Our subsidiary in Lower Bavaria decided to consolidate its electronics development expertise, which had previously been spread across one German and one Dutch site. To fill the resulting management role, we launched a search with etec Consult.
In the end we found an outstanding candidate who exceeded my personal expectations! With great patience and mediation skills, the management of etec Consult provided an excellent assessment that led to the final decision. It certainly wasn’t the easiest process, but it was absolutely worth it!
Professional support in filling a Sales Manager role in France
etec demonstrated maximum professionalism in the pre-selection and presentation of French candidates, as well as in the transparency and guidance throughout the process up to a successful conclusion.
Industry specialisation as a success factor
We have filled key first-level positions in the USA and Asia with etec Consult. Thanks to etec’s international set-up, its focus on automation, measurement technology and mechanical engineering, and its strong network, etec has recruited excellent managers who fit our corporate culture. Close communication with the candidates and support throughout the process up to the closing were decisive for the success.
Expertise in drive technology
We have been working with etec Consult for 15 years now on selected search projects at managing director and middle management level. Their in-depth knowledge of drive and automation technology and their strong understanding of technically complex requirement profiles are particularly noteworthy. In addition, etec is very good at assessing not only the technical dimension but also the personality of candidates: pragmatic, hands-on and customer-oriented. We especially value this kind of “mid-market suitability” in both candidates and etec consultants.
Specialised executive search that speaks the language of local mid-sized businesses
We commissioned etec to fill three strategically important vacancies in our company. Decisive for awarding the mandates were the firm’s excellent regional network and its clear focus on family-owned mid-sized businesses. The former resulted in a significantly larger and at the same time more qualified pool of applicants. The latter helped to understand our challenges as a small but growing and increasingly international company, in which the versatility of candidates plays a crucial role.
etec also did an excellent job of prioritising the different requirements, clearly capturing the core of each role and presenting it attractively to the candidate market. Not least because of the professional, always attentive and friendly communication, we look forward to continuing our cooperation with etec as we grow our business.
