Home » Executive Placement

When it comes to selling new and available career opportunities to highly valued candidates, who are generally senior executives holding up roles in the C-suite, on boards, and as heads of functions or departments, we strive to act with the utmost in confidentiality and professionalism.

The executive placement process that we follow involves the targeted head hunting and placing of such specialised personel, who are not currently active in the job market, into high-calibre corporate positions.

These candidates are senior, skilled, and highly experienced individuals, who are happy and fulfilled in their current job titles; as well as being well remunerated, with a significant range of company benefits, and an enviable level of flexibility when it comes to how they choose to perform their day-to-day duties.

Because making a career move at this level is likely to be one of the most important decisions such an individual will ever face, we strive to tap into the key drivers that are steering them; and generally become a form of trusted life coach or career confidante to those who find themselves in this position.

What we do best

The real value of our business lies in the fact that we are true brand ambassadors within the market, for the clients we choose to represent.

As a team, BossJansen Executive Search has become adept at assessing potential candidate suitability against a set of job specifications, in terms of skills, capabilities, and experience levels, not to mention the care we take to ensure that the senior executives we work with experience a perfect culture fit within the new organisation – which is something we have found to be a make or break in such a critical career move.

The highly specialised service that we offer differs radically from the standard or contingent recruiting process, where a selection of CVs are gathered and handed to the client. As a boutique firm, we strive to remain focused at all times on what we do best: headhunting and attracting top senior talent for our esteemed clients, from a strong, extensive, and long-cultivated network of enviably qualified individuals.

A three-phased process

Without going into too much detail, just a few of the steps we follow in our highly structured executive placement process, are:

1) Matching a candidate’s qualifications, background, industry, discipline, and salary/benefits, with the brief we have received from the client;

2) Gauging the candidate’s track record and potential performance levels, through both direct examination and credential validation;
and

3) Ensuring an excellent culture fit, which is based not just on the candidate’s popularity with leaders, their peer group, and potential direct reports, but also rests on how personable they are, and how likely to truly engage in their work, achieve great things, and remain in place at the new company for the long haul.

BossJansen Executive Search approaches the executive placement process on the basis of knowing where to look, having a thorough understanding of high-calibre people and their workplace requirements, and striving to build personable and lasting relationships with clients so that we can tackle this specialised service on a retained and ongoing basis.

Adopting a partner mentality with a client/big corporate, and ensuring we are deeply immersed in their business culture, allows us to constantly ensure that their best interests remain our top priority.

So as you set about joining forces with a specialist executive placement firm, ask yourself:

  • are they agile, and flexible enough to adapt quickly in the face of what can at times be highly challenging marketplace circumstances?
  • are they solutions driven across all their protocols, strivings, and endeavours?
  • do they set out to cover every eventuality in order to reach a successful outcome on each assignment?
  • And does their track record and references in the marketplace attest to their skillset and success rate, no matter whom you speak to across the full spectrum of listed and non-listed global brands?

The fact that our clients answer a resounding “Yes!” to each of these questions on our behalf, is a testament to our proud and unfaltering track record, our service levels, and the long-standing relationships we have cultivated based on sincerity, honesty, and a thorough understanding of both our clients’, and our candidates’, business practices and needs.
