Executive Search
A different approach to executive searches
Some of the consultants within CredeyAssociés are from the commercial intelligence sector. When applied to recruitment, the commercial intelligence approach means making a spirit of inquiry and effective action core parts of the task.
Commercial intelligence consists of developing a strategy of gathering intelligence, making contacts and stimulating candidate recommendations. This approach also keeps us up to date with our clients’ news.
Collecting and organising intelligence gives our teams a bigger picture, enabling them to provide solutions to the most difficult requests. This way of working, inspired by engineering methods, has evolved with the improvement of digital tools and means of investigation.
Executive search in complex environments
A complex environment is one in which multiple dynamic and often unpredictable interactions take place between different actors, variables or systems. This type of environment is characterised by a high degree of uncertainty and volatility, and a wide array of influencing factors, making decision-making more difficult.
The common denominator of the energy, transport, environment, construction, health and industrial sectors for a headhunter is the complexity and rapidly changing nature of their working environments.
These sectors are characterised by:
Innovation and technological development
Whether due to the energy transition, the digitalisation of industry, or adaptation to new environmental regulations, these sectors are constantly evolving and therefore need leaders who can anticipate and manage change.
Sustainability issues
These sectors are subject to increasing pressures to meet sustainability, energy efficiency and regulatory compliance criteria. Their leaders therefore need a long-term vision and expertise in managing sustainable transformation.
Operational complexity
These sectors involve major infrastructure, complex supply chains, and large-scale projects that require agile leaders capable of managing multicultural, multidisciplinary and global teams.
Shortage of qualified talent
These companies seek specialised, experienced talent to handle technical and strategic challenges. The skills they look for are rare, making headhunting vital to find leaders able to meet the challenge.
Cross-disciplinary skills
Each of these sectors may have its own specific characteristics, but the leaders in these industries share key skills: leadership of change, management of innovation, decision-making under uncertainty, and the ability to manage multidisciplinary teams.
