CFR Global Executive Search's Vision
Each member of the group works toward a common goal to be recognized as the most efficient executive search group at finding top-performing executives and managers. Even in an ever changing economy, we never stop taking steps toward the realization of our vision.
Our Mission
Our group seeks to help companies truly prosper with executives and managers who know how to lead, drive growth and success, and care for the welfare and productivity of employees along the way.
Skilled, confident, and experienced people are becoming more difficult to find, but our ultimate mission is to put in the time and effort to find real experts looking for high-level, difficult-to-fill positions through our extensive network and years upon years of expertise.
Our Values
Our history
CFR Global Executive Search was founded in the 1990s by four independent retained search companies from France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK. The aim was to offer clients pan-European recruitment that crossed borders so that true talent and skill became searchable and hirable.
Since then, the number of companies that have joined the CFR network has consistently increased both in Europe and in other geographic areas. At present, CFR Global Executive Search operates across the entire world and covers all of the most successful markets on the planet.
What has characterized CFR since its founding is the commitment of its members to the CFR Global Executive Search mission, vision, and core values. CFR is managed by an Executive Board Committee that sets the highest level of strategy and coordinates its implementation. Through our board, we are able to consistently maintain our values from nation to nation.
In addition, each CFR member is required to pass a rigorous auditing process to be allowed entry into the network. Members must commit to our core values and understand our key performance indicators related to client and candidate best practices and service quality.
