Executive Search Romania

Our Executive Search and Recruitment Process in Romania

Any HR manager will attest to the strain that can be imposed on an internal human resources department during executive search processes. Receiving assistance from executive search firms relieves a great deal of this pressure and allows the department to focus its energies on daily functions rather than top-level recruiting.

Our executive search firm’s main objective is to recruit industry experts and technical specialists to suit the needs of our clients. We want to attract top talent for our client businesses, as these people have the potential to become influential industry leaders within their organisations. We make sure that the professionals we recruit have a deep understanding of industry operations, as well as the work ethic in the specific region and the demands of their new role. Local knowledge and international understanding are both essential, as regional nuances may differ significantly and have a measurable impact on organisations. This is why we put so much emphasis on finding the right candidates to join our clients’ leadership teams.

To ensure consistency in our service and advice, the same consultant stays with your company throughout the entire recruitment project. All of our candidates are carefully assessed and screened to ensure that they are a good fit for your company and its business goals before we present them to your hiring manager.

Our Headhunters in Romania

Our executive search consultants are dedicated to finding the ideal professionals for the positions our client organisations want to fill. Our headhunting approach combines targeted market research with direct outreach to professionals who may not actively be looking for a new role.

We strive to understand the technical requirements of the roles we are recruiting for, the markets each professional will work in, and the responsibilities of each job as a whole. A network of global partners simplifies international recruitment, making it easy for us to engage a more diverse talent pool and giving our clients an advantage when it comes to securing the best candidates for their business needs.

Other essential recruitment factors that we bear in mind for senior appointments are the company culture, governance experience, and leadership style of executive candidates. When these are in line with a client’s leadership team, a candidate will transition more easily into their new role, and there will be fewer disruptions to operations.

Local Expertise, Global Reach

The business environment in Romania tends to be hierarchical and formal, but low corporate taxes and office rentals make it an attractive destination for startups. The economy is prominent in Eastern Europe, the workforce is young and highly educated, and the domestic market is large and well-developed. The fact that the economy is forecast to continue growing and developing also makes it attractive to companies looking for access to the Balkans.

When it comes to living in Romania, it is comfortable and affordable. The country has fast internet, is considered safe, and has a low cost of living. Locals are welcoming, but the culture can be very difficult to understand. The immigrant community is also not very prevalent, and English is not widely spoken.

Executive search and recruitment is a high-stakes endeavour that requires candidates to be a good fit on all fronts. This includes aligning with the company culture and work ethic of the current leadership team. Candidates who are not from the local area need to be able to adjust to the behavioral norms and etiquette of Romanian businesses to integrate successfully into a company here. Our executive search team understands how important this is and works closely with clients to ensure the best outcomes.

Our Global Presence

With our global connections, Keller Executive Search can reach candidates from both local and international markets. This widens the pool of viable talent for our client organisations, which can be helpful for recruiting for highly specialised or niche roles. Our international network, combined with our extensive executive search expertise and recruitment knowledge, further helps us to supply exceptional talent to organisations expanding into Romania or Romanian businesses entering new markets.

Getting Started with Executive Recruitment, Romania

Executive search is a resource-intensive process that takes time and focus away from a company’s internal HR department. Partnering with our executive search firm can help steer attention back to more important business initiatives and reduce the risk of a mishire. This is possible through our comprehensive, direct approach and ability to reach candidates who are not accessible through traditional recruitment methods.

We always start the executive search process with a discovery call or meeting with our client and their business leaders, where we discuss the position, what they expect from candidates, potential challenges or constraints, reporting lines, salary, and rewards. If the role is new, we can help shape a job description and a competitive compensation package after benchmarking the market for similar roles. For complex executive appointments, this preparation helps establish clear expectations before the search begins.

Once we have the brief, our executive search consultants start talent mapping for the best professionals. Those they identify as qualified are screened and evaluated using our proprietary assessment tools to determine their fit. The candidates that pass our assessment phase are shortlisted for interviews with the client, who ultimately decides who they want to hire.

Our Promise

We want to see candidates positively impact our clients’ existing leadership teams. We believe this can only be achieved by building lasting client relationships and continuous communication, which allows us to understand and monitor changing requirements throughout the search. All our clients receive bespoke personal assistance to ensure that they end up with the strongest possible team, which gives them the best chance of success.

In the event that a candidate can no longer serve in the position or falls short of expectations within the first year of their employment, we offer a 365-day replacement program. This allows us to identify a different candidate to replace the one we initially placed.
