Executive search in Eastern Europe
Eastern Europe has been playing an important role for German industry for many years, particularly for the Mittelstand.
Due to geopolitical changes, Eastern Europe has become even more important for many mid-sized companies in terms of production capacity, supply chain stability and, increasingly, for research and development.
- Eastern Europe offers a wide range of opportunities for German companies to expand their production and increase their competitiveness.
- The region has a well-qualified workforce available at competitive cost levels.
- This enables German companies to reduce production costs while maintaining high product quality. Poland and Romania in particular have established themselves as key locations.
Executive search – national & international
Focus region: Eastern Europe
Beyond production, Eastern Europe also represents a major sales market for German products. Countries in the region have achieved impressive economic growth in recent years and have become very important trading partners – not only for Germany. The Mittelstand can benefit from this development by offering its products and services in Eastern Europe and opening up new markets. Many mid-sized companies still do not have their own local sales subsidiaries.
As an executive search consultancy, we have been supporting German mid-sized companies in Eastern Europe for many years in recruiting qualified leaders for their production sites and sales subsidiaries. We understand the cultural and linguistic specifics of the region and are therefore able to win the right candidates for you through targeted dialogue. Our in-house executive search team works in English and, among others, in Russian and Polish.
Overall, Eastern Europe is of major strategic importance for German industry. It offers opportunities for expansion, access to new markets and lower production costs. For many years etec Consult has been helping German companies to leverage these opportunities and to secure highly qualified leadership talent in the region.
