Frequently asked questions
Executive Search is a specialised recruitment method designed to identify candidate for senior positions or other, highly specialised jobs that are difficult to fill and which are scarce on the employment market.
As a result of its many years of experience and its extensive network, B\\DK is able to bring in candidates more quickly and in a more focused manner who cannot be found using a different, less personal way.
B\\DK is responsible for every stage of the process, guiding both client and candidate.
B\\DK works with clients on an exclusive basis. This means that B\\DK clients do not use other recruitment services.
This gives our candidates the assurance that the job we are offering will be filled by B\\K alone – and no one else. This means that they cannot apply for the job through any other channels.
B\\DK also guarantees clients that it will only put forward candidates who have actually given their permission.
A retained Executive Search bureau is usually retained for medium to high-level executive profiles or for advanced specialist positions that require a unique set of skills and attitudes.
Assignments are usually for positions for which the best candidate is hard to find, let alone convincing them to make the move.
Executive Search is all about trust. People don’t want recruiters to take their CV to the market without knowing which companies their candidacy may be submitted to. This is often the case with agencies that are not working on a vacancy on an exclusive basis. This is unprofessional and shows the market that the client is not prepared to invest in a professional and discreet retained Executive Search bureau.
