Executive Search vs. Active Sourcing?

Filling management positions in automation technology, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering requires special expertise. Companies are faced with the challenge of choosing the right approach to recruiting highly qualified managers. Over the past few years, many of our clients have set up their own recruiting teams to engage in active sourcing. This involves actively building up talent pools by directly approaching potential candidates on various platforms such as LinkedIn or XING. Active sourcing aims to fill open positions with suitable candidates as quickly as possible, often without extensive relationship-building or an intensive selection process.

Our Executive Search, on the other hand, is a tailored and discreet process specifically designed to fill executive positions. As an industry-specialized recruitment consultant, we work closely with our clients to understand the requirements of the role and, based on this, identify and approach targeted executives. The process is far more intensive than active sourcing and aims to source highly qualified candidates who are not actively looking for a job. Our clients benefit from our industry expertise and our extensive network. Particularly in specialized industry segments such as automation technology, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering, this industry knowledge is crucial for finding managers who not only have the necessary technical qualifications, but also in-depth industry knowledge and strategic skills.

 

In addition, many of the best executives are not actively looking for a job and thus are not considered by traditional active sourcing methods. Our executive search process provides access to a hidden market of candidates who are open to new challenges but cannot be found in the usual databases or on career networks. Furthermore, discretion plays a central role when filling key positions at management level. etec's direct search offers a high degree of confidentiality. The consultant conducts discreet interviews and protects the interests of both parties, the company and the candidates. In contrast to active sourcing, which often follows a rather standardized approach, etec offers a tailor-made solution. The consultant develops a deep understanding of the company's strategy, culture and specific requirements for the leadership role.

Our service is based on building long-term relationships with both, companies and candidates. This in-depth partnership enables us not only to fill the current position optimally, but also to strategically plan future personnel decisions. While active sourcing can be a quick and efficient way to fill open positions in certain situations, etec's executive search approach is the better choice for filling management positions. Companies in the automation technology, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering sectors benefit from our expertise, discretion and access to an exclusive network of highly qualified executives who are a long-term fit for the company's strategic direction and culture.

If your company is facing the challenge of finding an executive for a key position, partnering with etec is the most effective way to ensure not only short-term but also long-term success. By the way, our network includes executives in 60 countries. With us, you will find a partner who can also help you effectively with international vacancies and succession planning.
