Podcasts about Executive search

Zweieinhalb Minuten hat es gedauert, bis einer meiner Coaching-Klienten seinen Geschäftsführerposten verlor. Ohne Vorwarnung. In dieser Episode spreche ich mit Nane Nebel, Executive-Beraterin und Autorin des Buches "Die CEO-Bewerbung", darüber, wie eine Bewerbung als Geschäftsführer heute funktioniert. Wir sprechen über den verdeckten Stellenmarkt, über die Direktansprache von Entscheidern statt der Personalabteilung und über den Unterschied zwischen einem klassischen Lebenslauf und einer Management Summary. Außerdem geht es um Erfolge statt Tätigkeitsbeschreibungen, um die richtige Positionierung auf LinkedIn und darum, warum Geduld bei der Suche kein Zeichen von Schwäche ist. Kapitel 00:00 Einleitung und aktuelle Herausforderungen für Führungskräfte 01:47 Der verdeckte Stellenmarkt und seine Bedeutung 03:50 Aktive Ansprache statt Warten auf Headhunter 05:54 Optimale Bewerbungsstrategien für Top-Management 07:55 Das richtige LinkedIn-Profil und Netzwerkpflege 10:04 Erfolge sichtbar machen: Zahlen und Management Summary 11:53 Der Einfluss der Markt- und Branchenfaktoren 14:03 Aktiv werden: Netzwerken und Initiativbewerbungen 15:59 Der Umgang mit Ängsten und mentaler Stärke 18:07 Tipps für die Ansprache von Entscheidern 20:00 Der richtige Umgang mit KI bei der Bewerbungsstrategie 22:00 Wertvolle Tipps für die Profilierung auf LinkedIn 23:58 Mythen und Missverständnisse bei der Jobsuche 26:02 Kurz und prägnant: Bewerbungsunterlagen für Top-Manager 28:05 Branchenwechsel und neue Chancen erkennen 30:01 Der Einstieg in den verdeckten Stellenmarkt 32:03 Geduld und Timing bei der Jobsuche 34:01 Respektvoll und effizient: Bewerbungen gestalten 36:05 Abschluss und Ausblick: Mut und proaktives Handeln Hier geht es zum Video: https://youtu.be/Ovh9nxINx9M

Folge 268: Der Traum von der eigenen Personalberatung: Solltest du als Solo-Gründer komplett bei null anfangen oder dich lieber einem etablierten Franchise-System anschließen? In dieser Folge leuchte ich die Vor- und Nachteile der Franchise-Welt im Bereich Recruiting und Executive Search scharf aus. Auf den ersten Blick klingt das Rundum-sorglos-Paket verlockend: fertiges Branding, Anwalts-geprüfte Verträge, IT-Infrastruktur, bestehende Datenbanken und ein fertiges Onboarding-Programm. Doch dieser Komfort hat seinen Preis: hohe fünfstellige Einstiegsgebühren und laufende Umsatzabgaben von oft 20 % oder mehr. Ich breche radikal mit den typischen Versprechen der Franchise-Geber. Erfahre, warum das mitverkaufte Branding bei B2B-Kunden in der Praxis oft kaum zieht (weil der Kunde dich als Berater kauft, nicht das Logo), warum Partnertreffen im Franchise überraschend oft in Jammer-Runden abdriften und wieso High-Performer dem System nach wenigen Jahren oft den Rücken kehren. Du erhältst konkrete Prüfkriterien für deine Entscheidung – inklusive des 300k-Umsatz-Tests, den du jedem Franchise-Geber vor der Unterschrift stellen solltest.

08 Aug 2026: Luxury watches, fine art, rare collectibles and classic cars are increasingly being considered alternative stores of wealth as investors look beyond traditional safe havens. But protecting these assets is not always straightforward. Kapil Sharma, Senior Vice President of Sales at Continental Group, joins us to discuss how high-value collectibles are insured, the challenges surrounding valuations and the coverage gaps owners may not realise exist. Meanwhile, Wynn Resorts is pressing ahead with plans to hire 2,500 employees for its $5.7 billion UAE resort, despite its opening being pushed back to September 2027. Nathan Kearney, Managing Director of Executive Search, joins us to discuss what the recruitment drive says about confidence in the UAE hospitality sector and the growing divide in the wider jobs market. Plus, we look at some of the weird and wonderful ways businesses are trying to beat the summer slowdown, including a rooftop sauna, ice baths and unlimited ice cream. Emilie Hill from Context Studio takes us through some of the offers and considers whether these summer deals are here to stay or are simply a way for businesses to get customers through the door. And finally, DIFC is opening up its special purpose vehicle regime, removing previous eligibility restrictions and making the structures available to a much wider pool of applicants. Jacques Visser, Chief Legal Officer at DIFC Authority, tells us what the regulatory changes involve. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ein Recruiter öffnet Ihr LinkedIn-Profil und entscheidet in weniger als zehn Sekunden, ob er Sie anschreibt oder weiterscrollt. Nicht Ihre Erfahrung entscheidet das, sondern wie Sie auf der Seite positioniert sind.In dieser Folge zeigt Jan Nordh, warum LinkedIn keine Social-Plattform ist, sondern eine Suchmaschine für Talent, und wie Sie Ihr Profil so aufstellen, dass die richtigen Recruiter und Hiring Manager Sie finden. Es ist die praktische Fortsetzung der letzten Folge über das Open-to-Work-Banner: dort ging es um das Warum, hier um das Wie. Aus 19 Jahren Executive Search und 25 Jahren im Enterprise-Vertrieb kennt er beide Seiten des Tisches.Du erfährst:Warum ein Recruiter in zehn Sekunden über Ihr Profil entscheidet, und worauf er wirklich schautDie Drei-Teile-Formel für eine Headline, die in der Suche auftaucht: Rolle, Keywords, WirkungWie Sie Ihre About-Section als Geschichte schreiben, statt den Lebenslauf hineinzukopierenDie eine Open-to-Work-Einstellung, die aus lautem Suchen gezieltes Gefundenwerden machtFür Enterprise-Vertriebler, Sales Leader, Cybersecurity-Profis und alle, die im DACH-Raum und in den Nordics gefunden werden wollen, statt nur sichtbar zu sein. Themen: LinkedIn, Cybersecurity, Enterprise Software, IT Sales, Executive Search, DACH, Nordics.https://www.nordh.de

Wo verläuft die Linie zwischen einem Lebenslauf, der dich stark positioniert, und einem, der dich beim ersten Referenz-Call den Job kostet?In dieser Folge zerlege ich aus Sicht des Headhunters, was du auf deinem CV strategisch formulieren darfst und was dich garantiert das Angebot kostet. Denn der häufigste Fehler bei wirklich guten Leuten im Enterprise Sales und in der Cybersecurity ist nicht der erfundene Titel. Es ist das Gegenteil: ehrliche, korrekte Lebensläufe, die den eigenen Wert komplett verstecken.Du erfährst:Welche Angaben verifizierbar sind und dein Angebot sofort kippen lassen (Abschluss, Arbeitgeber, Daten, Führungsverantwortung).Wo legitimes Übersetzen anfängt und Erfinden aufhört, am Beispiel Titel, Zahlen und deiner Rolle im Deal.Warum Top-Performer sich systematisch unter Wert verkaufen und wie du Entscheidungen statt Aufgaben schreibst.Wie ein Hiring Manager in sechs Sekunden über deinen CV entscheidet, und was er dabei wirklich sucht.Wie du Joblücken und kurze Stints sauber framst, ohne dich zu rechtfertigen oder eine Inkonsistenz zu LinkedIn zu erzeugen.Für IT-Sales-Profis, Enterprise Account Executives, Cybersecurity-Vertriebler und Sales Leader im DACH-Raum und in den Nordics, die ihre Positionierung ernst nehmen. Keywords: Lebenslauf, CV, Bewerbung, Enterprise Sales, Cybersecurity, IT Sales, Executive Search, DACH, Nordics, Karrierestrategie.https://www.nordh.de

Viele Top-Manager sind fachlich brillant und scheitern im Bewerbungsprozess trotzdem auf den letzten Metern. Warum? Weil an der Spitze andere Spielregeln gelten, über die niemand offen spricht. In dieser Folge decke ich auf, warum der CEO-Posten viele Karrieren zerstört und wie Sie den Aufstieg strategisch meistern. - Der blinde Fleck: Warum fast 100 % aller Geschäftsführer die tatsächlichen Herausforderungen der neuen Rolle unterschätzen. - Gnadenlose Konkurrenz: Was Sie tun müssen, um sich gegen 300 Mitbewerber durchzusetzen. - Vergessen Sie Anschreiben: Wie Sie über alternative Wege einen Fuß in die Tür der Chefetage bekommen. - Das Fallbeispiel Manuel B.: Warum ein Top-Manager nach zwei Geschäftsführer-Posten freiwillig das Downshifting wählte.

If you're navigating a significant transition, it can be tempting to cast a wider net, to contact more recruiters, attend more networking events, and have more conversations. But what if the opposite approach is actually more effective? Today, we're discussing how senior leaders build market intelligence, narrow their focus, identify opportunities that often emerge long before they're ever advertised. Whether you're pursuing a CEO mandate, a board role, investors, or your next strategic client, we hope this conversation gives you a practical framework for thinking differently about your market.Westgate Executive Branding

What does it really mean to live generously? In this episode of It Just Takes One, Kelli sits down with Mary Elizabeth “ME” Sadd, author of Living a Generous Life: Learning, Earning, and Returning. What begins as a conversation about her book becomes a warm and entertaining look at the small choices that shape the people around us and the legacy we're creating along the way. ME shares how her family history and more than 30 years working with leaders helped form her belief that generosity reaches far beyond money. It can be found in the time we give, the knowledge we share, the doors we open, and the way we make another person feel seen. Kelli and ME also talk about the experience of writing the book, learning from the people who came before us, and recognizing that each season of life gives us something new to offer. ME brings humor, honest stories, and a fresh way of looking at leadership that makes this conversation easy to enjoy and hard to forget. Listen in and consider this question: What if your legacy is already being written through the way you treat the next person who crosses your path? You may finish this episode ready to be a little more generous with your time, your attention, and the gifts only you can share. --------------- About Mary Elizabeth “ME” Sadd Mary Elizabeth Sadd's inspiration for learning and giving stems back many generations to the legacy left by her Great-Great-Grandfather who prioritized teaching over preaching, with the foresight that education can change lives and generations. Her lifelong appetite for learning led to a craving to give, so she prioritizes giving time, wisdom, and resources to help people become the next best version of themselves. As a seasoned business professional, she brings a unique perspective to the subject of generosity. She has spent the last several decades in the Executive Search industry helping to match corporations and individuals in support of profitable business growth and personal fulfillment. Mary Elizabeth is particularly aligned with her clients that also share her passion for giving back. She lives in Johns Creek, Ga with her husband and has three sons.

Warum stellen viele Unternehmen immer wieder die falschen Mitarbeitenden oder Führungskräfte ein? Nicht, weil sie die Qualifikation falsch bewerten. Sondern weil du unbewusst Menschen auswählst, die dir selbst ähnlich sind. Gleiche Denkweise. Gleiche Werte. Gleicher Führungsstil. Das fühlt sich zunächst richtig an – doch genau hier beginnt häufig der größte Fehler im Recruiting. Die erfolgreichsten Unternehmen setzen nicht auf Gleichheit, sondern auf Ergänzung. In diesem Video erfährst du, warum unterschiedliche Persönlichkeiten der Schlüssel zu besseren Entscheidungen, erfolgreicher Führung und nachhaltigem Unternehmenserfolg sind. Außerdem zeige ich dir, wie das DISG-Persönlichkeitsmodell dabei hilft, leistungsstarke Teams aufzubauen und Führungskräfte gezielt auszuwählen. Das erwartet dich im Video - ✅ Warum Führungskräfte häufig Menschen einstellen, die ihnen selbst ähnlich sind - ✅ Was die Harvard Business Review über erfolgreiche Teams herausgefunden hat - ✅ Warum homogene Teams schneller entscheiden – heterogene Teams jedoch häufiger die besseren Entscheidungen treffen - ✅ Weshalb Persönlichkeitsvielfalt ein entscheidender Wettbewerbsvorteil ist - ✅ Die vier DISG-Persönlichkeitstypen einfach erklärt: - D – Dominant: Entscheidet, übernimmt Verantwortung und treibt Veränderungen voran. - I – Initiativ: Begeistert Menschen, motiviert Teams und verkauft Ideen. - S – Stetig: Schafft Vertrauen, Stabilität und Zusammenhalt. - G – Gewissenhaft: Erkennt Risiken, sichert Qualität und arbeitet strukturiert. - ✅ Warum jede Persönlichkeit unverzichtbar ist - ✅ Wie modernes Executive Search heute funktioniert - ✅ Warum die richtige Teamzusammensetzung langfristig über den Unternehmenserfolg entscheidet Erfolgreiche Führung bedeutet, Unterschiede sinnvoll zu nutzen - Die stärksten Unternehmen bestehen nicht aus Menschen, die gleich denken. - Sie bestehen aus Persönlichkeiten, die sich gegenseitig ergänzen. - Ein dominanter Entscheider braucht jemanden, der Risiken erkennt. - Ein gewissenhafter Analytiker braucht Menschen, die Entscheidungen treffen. - Ein kreativer Ideengeber braucht Kollegen, die konsequent umsetzen. - Ein stetiger Teamplayer sorgt dafür, dass Veränderungen dauerhaft funktionieren. - Nicht Gleichheit macht Teams erfolgreich. - Ergänzung macht Unternehmen erfolgreich.

The right executive hire can accelerate everything, while the wrong one can cost a company far more than a bad résumé suggests. In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews David Ulrich, Founder and Principal at David Ulrich Associates, who shares how business owners can distinguish polished candidates from leaders truly equipped to perform, why entrepreneurial capacity matters, and where companies often go wrong when hiring senior executives. He also explains the evolving role of LinkedIn and AI in executive search, the importance of maintaining a strong professional network, and why great recruiters have a fiduciary-level responsibility to both candidates and clients. Key Takeaways:→ Strong leadership skills can transfer across industries when candidates understand people, operations, and accountability. → Great executive hiring begins with asking the right questions about the business's real needs. → Professionals should build relationships with trusted recruiters before they need to find a new role.→ A strong LinkedIn profile should clearly convey experience, values, and capabilities. → Ethical recruiters prioritize long-term fit and the well-being of candidates and clients alike. David Ulrich is a seasoned Executive Search and Human Capital Strategist with more than 15 years of experience across the restaurant, hospitality, franchising, and real estate industries. He has a proven record of recruiting, developing, and retaining top talent for organizations at all levels. David is known for his client-focused approach and for providing honest, timely feedback to build long-term relationships.

Folge 263: 400 Anrufe, 100 Entscheider-Gespräche – und am Ende mickrige ein einziges Interview. Eine Bilanz des Grauens, die mir neulich ein Personalberater gebeichtet hat. Er hatte sich zu 100 % in einen der vermeintlich einfachsten Akquise-Wege verrannt: das Kandidatenmarketing (auch bekannt als Profilvertrieb). Es klingt ja auch zu verlockend: Du hast ein top Profil, Unternehmen haben die passende Stellenanzeige offen – ‚Match made in heaven‘, oder? Warum diese Rechnung in der Realität gerade eine gewaltige Bruchlandung hinlegt und warum eine geschaltete Stellenanzeige noch lange nicht heißt, dass ein Kunde bereit ist, einen fünfstelligen Betrag für dich auf den Tisch zu legen, erfährst du in dieser Folge. Ich räume radikal mit dem Marketing-Hype auf, der den Profilvertrieb als das Allheilmittel für jedes Vertriebsproblem feiert. Wir decken auf, warum dieser Weg im mandatierten Geschäft (Drittelregelung, Executive Search) für Spezialisten und Führungskräfte eine absolute Effizienz-Falle ist, während er in der Erfolgsbasierung unter ganz bestimmten Bedingungen hervorragend funktioniert. Wenn du kurz davorstehst, viel Geld in teure Automatisierungs-Tools zu stecken, oder deine Akquisestrategie umstellen willst, ist diese Folge der nötige Realitätscheck, um nicht blind dein Budget zu verbrennen.

The New York Knicks lead the Cleveland Cavaliers 2-0 in the Eastern Conference Finals. Jalen Brunson has been awesome and James Harden has been terrible. Is it time for RB to issue an official apology to the Knicks? Or will the winner of the Oklahoma City Thunder vs San Antonio Spurs series still go on to win the NBA Finals? In other news, the Sixers search for a President & General Manager continues, but today things take an interesting twist. Could they end up promoting an internal hire like Jameer Nelson? He served as the Assistant General Manager of the 76ers last season and has been seen as a quick riser within front office executives. Today, we discuss it all!

Rui Morais, CEO of Dis-Chem Pharmacies and prior to that, the youngest CFO of a listed company in South Africa, sits down with Debbie Goodman to discuss the real story behind Dis-Chem's much-misreported restructure, and why it's actually a signal of bold ambition, not downsizing. With 200 new roles being created alongside the reorganisation, Rui explains how Dis-Chem is evolving from a retail pharmacy into South Africa's healthcare authority, backed by an innovation hub, strategic partnerships, and a board deeply aligned on purpose.  The conversation goes behind the scenes of one of the most publicly scrutinized CEO successions in South African corporate history, exploring the unexpected tension, identity shifts, and emotional complexity that no governance framework fully prepares you for. Throughout, Rui emerges as a leader who is deeply purposeful, refreshingly candid, and unafraid to swing for the fences.

Far from a polished highlight reel, Lee Naik, CEO of TransUnion Africa, unpacks the unglamorous realities of turnaround leadership - the loneliness, the self-doubt, the early mornings, and the moments where the buck unquestionably stops with you.  Key takeaways that will resonate with anyone navigating high-stakes leadership:  The turnaround reality: Every major CEO role today carries transformation work; the skill is learning to listen first, resist acting on assumptions, and distinguish symptoms from root issues.  Purposeful leadership over P&L thinking: Lee argues that connecting your personal "why" to the organisation's mission is not airy-fairy - it's the fuel that sustains leaders through the hardest stretches.  The loneliness at the top: True leadership loneliness isn't about being friendless; it's about the specific weight of decisions too sensitive or complex to process with your own team.  Resilience and rejection: From childhood rejections to corporate setbacks, Lee frames disappointment not as failure but as the essential pathway between where you are and your North Star.

In un contesto in cui l'intelligenza artificiale sta comprimendo vantaggi competitivi, riducendo le barriere all'ingresso e trasformando competenze un tempo distintive in semplici prerequisiti, cambia il criterio con cui si valuta la leadership.Non è più sufficiente comprendere la tecnologia.La vera discriminante è la capacità di governarla.Governarla nelle decisioni.Governarla nei processi.Governarla nel modo in cui un'organizzazione evolve, si adatta, compete.In questa conversazione con Federico Santoro, Partner di Amrop, emerge con chiarezza come stia cambiando il profilo dell'amministratore delegato che il mercato ricerca oggi.Non il tecnico puro.Non il gestore prudente.Non il profilo rassicurante costruito su percorsi lineari.Ma una figura capace di integrare execution, visione strategica, comprensione tecnologica e, soprattutto, capacità di leggere contesti complessi e ambigui, dove la macchina può supportare ma non decidere.Un passaggio chiave riguarda anche il modo in cui fondi di private equity, imprenditori e consigli di amministrazione selezionano i leader.Esperienza reale, adattabilità, capacità di attraversare fasi di discontinuità iniziano a pesare più delle traiettorie perfette.E mentre alcune competenze diventano rapidamente commodity, il confine del talento si sposta.Verso ciò che non è replicabile.Giudizio, sensibilità, capacità di interpretare il momento.Un episodio che offre una chiave di lettura concreta per chi guida un'azienda, per chi seleziona leadership e per chi sta cercando di capire come posizionarsi in una fase di trasformazione che non è più rinviabile.Questo è un episodio della serie Game Changers Italia, condotta da Marco Mizzau, già CEO di aziende complesse e oggi Senior Advisor per fondi di private equity e banche d'affari, investitore e business fixer.Inside Finance è anche una piattaforma di contenuti e produzioni multimediali per aziende.Realizziamo podcast, video AI e format editoriali per valorizzare la comunicazione.Per proposte o collaborazioni: segreteria@zeroin.itBuon ascolto.

What if artificial intelligence could actually make us more human at work? In Episode 253, Paul sits down with John Betancourt, Founder and CEO of Humantelligence, to explore how personalized AI coaching is reshaping leadership, hiring, collaboration, and workplace engagement. John's career spans global corporate leadership, executive search for private equity firms, and multiple startups. Through decades of observing culture fit, leadership failures, and executive misalignment, he uncovered a powerful insight: skills are commodities but psychology, culture fit, and behavior determine long-term success.  Humantelligence was  born from that realization. By combining psychometrics with AI, John is helping organizations scale leadership development and team effectiveness in ways that were previously only available to top executives. But this conversation goes deeper than business. It touches on resilience, exile, identity, spirituality, fatherhood, and what legacy truly means. This episode challenges entrepreneurs to think beyond revenue and ask a bigger question: How do we build companies that develop people, not just profits?

Pedigree looks shiny on paper, but does it move the needle? We sit down with executive search leader Travis Hahn to unpack why big-name resumes often disappoint, and how defining outcomes, culture, and decision rights before you recruit leads to hires who actually deliver. From building trustworthy role profiles to reaching passive candidates who aren't scrolling job boards, we dig into the practical steps leaders can take to raise the bar on both recruiting and retention.Travis explains how a third-party perspective challenges title-driven thinking and surfaces the real work a role must do at your company's specific stage. We explore the builder's mindset—consistency, transparency, and a willingness to go beyond the job description—and how to spot it in interviews. Culture emerges as the true currency: when leaders grant ownership and share credit, teams move faster and stick around. You'll hear success stories that took time and trust to compound, plus candid reflections on when “hire slow, fire fast” applies and when patience saves a future star.• defining roles with outcomes, KPIs, and decision rights• avoiding pedigree bias and testing for real impact• recruiting passive leaders through trust and patience• hire slow, fire fast but with context and care• culture as currency for retention and speed• builder's mindset, ownership, and clear communication• lessons from unreasonable hospitality on simple, human moments• AI as an efficiency tool, not a replacement for judgment• success stories that show compounding trust over time• next steps for integrated human capital servicesWe also tackle the AI question head-on. Automation can sharpen operations and sourcing, but human judgment remains essential for confidential, high-stakes leadership searches. With AI amplifying noise in the applicant pool, curated pipelines and authentic conversations matter more than ever. Along the way, Travis pulls leadership lessons from golf and hospitality, showing how simple, human gestures—clarity, inclusion, and respect—create experiences people remember and cultures they choose to stay in.If you're a founder or mid-market leader tired of expensive mis-hires and constant churn, this conversation offers a clear path forward: define the work, avoid pedigree traps, recruit builders, and keep your promises.
