What a happy candidate is worth

As a headhunter you always work as a middleman between two sides that don’t need to start out with having all too much in common. Especially in high-level positions it’s a delicate and sometimes lengthy process to find the right person for the job. It requires a great deal of consideration and also trust. From both sides. Obviously the “customer” that pays for the service of executive search is the one to satisfy but in the end the search is only entirely successful when both sides are happy. This is why we put particular emphasis on very positiv

Time to meet in person! Where we are 2017

As much as we love exploring all the fascinating possibilities of digital communication and social media, we still value meeting people face-to-face just as much. Even if we start a lot of conversations online, we like to pursue them further or finish them with an actual real-life interaction. Especially since we deal so much with fitting personalities into high-level positions, we need to get a really good sense of people. And not least, we simply like to meet new people and network.<span style="background-color: transpa

Headhunting in Life Sciences and diversity – oops we did it again!

A lot of the positions we’re filling in the Life Sciences industry are very challenging ones, often including high-level responsibilities. To match candidates to these job profiles can be a long and complicated process. Our experience shows that the complexity of the job profiles in this industry often calls for a more complex search. Somehow we thereby, almost without the concrete intention, advocate for change and diversity in the client’s company. How does that happen?Disr

Rejection in job search – how to use it to your advantage

No matter what level you’re on and what kind of job you’re looking for – you’re going to have to deal with rejection at some point. Actually the further up you climb, the less the jobs become and you might even have to deal with more rejection. Although these positions are mostly filled through existing connections, there is still often more than one candidate in the race for only one position. And as much as it can quite honestly suck (excuse me) to be rejected, I can only recommend to try and see the good in these rejections. It can only benefi

In the upper level management in Life Sciences some skills sets have become increasingly sought after – much more than they used to be. With the rapid development in certain areas, such as Biotech, companies have to become more versatile, flexible and innovative, and so does the C-Suite. As abstract as this sounds, there seems to be a common denominator, that determines such abilities – let’s call it non-conformity. So what do we mean by that?C-level mentality

Let’s talk about it – Building up GenSearch in Germany

As an executive search consultancy with a global reach and solely dedicated to the life sciences sector GenSearch has always had the ambition to expand the framework, blow the boundaries, and approach the right candidate for the job wherever he/she might be.
