For Candidates
The next step starts with a conversation — not an application.
I work personally, confidentially and with time. If you'd like to explore your options — actively searching or interested in a specific situation — write to me.
Three ways to start
You choose how we begin.
Every path is voluntary and reversible. No path leads anywhere without your explicit agreement first.
01
A specific vacancy
You've seen a role that interests you — on Jobs or through a direct approach. We talk it through against the actual brief, not just the title.
02
A confidential career conversation
You're not applying for anything in particular. We take stock together — what fits, what doesn't, and what a realistic next step could look like.
03
Voluntary inclusion in the candidate pool
With your separate, explicit consent, I keep your profile on file for up to 24 months, so I can come back to you when a relevant role appears. You can withdraw this consent at any time, and I never forward your details without your written release. See the privacy notice.
Candidate promise
Four principles.
- 01Confidentiality — your enquiry stays between us until you explicitly approve otherwise.
- 02Time for a conversation — I get to know you personally, not just your CV.
- 03Honest guidance — if a role doesn't fit, I'll say so. If you shouldn't move yet, I'll say that too.
- 04A clear process — you know where you stand and what comes next.
One honest limit: I cannot promise a placement, a specific salary, or a timeline. What I can promise is a fair, confidential conversation and a straight answer, even when it isn't the one you hoped for.
Process
Five steps — no guesswork.
01
Confidential first conversation
A personal introduction, your current situation, priorities and possible options.
02
Role and motivation clarification
Specific roles and environments are assessed together — in substance and in culture.
03
Explicit approval before any introduction
No profile goes to a company without your written approval.
04
Interviews & feedback
I support you through the process, give qualified feedback and moderate where needed.
05
Decision & move
Contract negotiation, notice planning and a clean transition.
Markets and profiles
Where I'm at home.
Four markets with grown depth — from tax specialist to plant manager, from asset management to Head of Recruiting.
Jobs vs direct approach
Not every search is run in public.
On Jobs you'll find a selection of public positions. A large part of my searches are run confidentially — a direct approach is therefore explicitly welcome.
Write to me briefly about what you're looking for — and what you're definitely not looking for anymore. The rest emerges in conversation.
Questions
Frequently asked questions from candidates.
Optional contact service
Only after your separate, explicit consent, I put you in touch with independent specialists for private provision and cover topics — voluntary, small and clearly separate from my recruitment work. This is not insurance or financial advice. Notice.
