BossJansen is boutique executive search company with offices in Johannesburg, South Africa and New York, USA.

The team is made up of highly experienced senior consultants supported by an effective research team, who are absolute specialists in executive placements and headhunting methodology.

We are adept at sourcing senior candidates who possess the leadership skills and track record to take up key senior positions within leadership teams, predominately at Board and functional head level. Our clients include Multi-National Corporations, Small Medium Enterprises, and Public Sector organisations.

We also assist international companies looking to extend their local or global footprint and grow their businesses.

Integrity lies at the core of our service offering. Building trust and rapport with both clients and candidates is key to our success. We are vested in ensuring that there is a meeting of the minds for both parties, leading to a successful placement. This can only occur when there is a real understanding of our clients’ requirements and culture, which means we get to know their business intimately.

Similarly, we align the aspirations, skills and abilities of potential candidates to opportunities only by truly getting to know them face to face and having the necessary open and honest conversations and in-depth discussions to ascertain fit.

The top-performing executives in the market are highly valued existing employees and are not actively pursuing new career opportunities in the market. They are well rewarded and their employers wish to retain them at all costs.

Procuring these candidates in the market requires diligence and the skill that comes from many years of experience carefully approaching and winning peoples trust, in order to establish interest and disposition toward a potential career move.

Having conducted an in-depth study and analysis of why senior executives typically leave an organisation quickly after joining, it is mainly due to cultural misfit. Senior executives will not stay if they are not aligned culturally, hence we ensure that we go to great lengths to understand the pervading culture within our client organisations, in order to asses potential candidate fit.

Whether the requirement is for a local-national or an expatriate to take up a senior position, we are experts at sourcing the right candidates to present to our clients, no matter the global geography. We are specialists in the South African, African and American marketplace and have a successful track record of shortlisting the absolute leading senior executive talent on behalf of our clients.

We have always viewed Executive Search as a partnership with our clients. After all, it is all about relationships and assisting people to secure desirable career opportunities at the senior level and then continuing to build on these relationships way into the future. It is about working closely with our clients to ensure they attract the absolute best in the market. In today’s competitive environment, companies cannot afford to make bad decisions and they rely on us to ensure that they are sourcing the best-performing people available.
