Interested in Joining the
CFR Global Executive Search Network?
There are many reasons to be part of a global network of executive search firms.
Partnership – We are a network of tight-knit partners who know one another well. We even know one another’s families! So, working together is not like working with a business partner, but with a friend. One of our core values is trust. We live this value, and we trust and depend on one another. This means that when we do business, it is easier and much more fun.
Direct Financial Benefits – As a CFR Global Executive Search partner, you will have a relationship with partners who refer search assignments to you. In exchange, you can trust these partners to work well with your clients that you have passed onto them.
Marketing Impact – As part of our network, you will be able to market yourself as part of a highly integrated global network of firms. This will allow you to position yourself to clients as one of the few global companies, which will elevate you above the many smaller, local competitors.
Sharing Knowledge and Expertise – As part of CFR Global Executive Search, you will have routine access to a wide variety of partners dedicated to sharing ideas. While many people initially join for the direct financial benefits, they usually end up cherishing the camaraderie and idea sharing most.
Education – We love to learn and share knowledge on different HR topics like leadership, use of big data, AI/new technologies in HR, assessment tools, employment trends, new working environments, interim management and many other topics. We use internal CFR Global Executive Search resources to educate, as well as external certified consultants. Learning is a never-ending process at CFR Global Executive Search.
Industry Groups – CFR Global Executive Search Search partners possess a wide range of specializations and market knowledge, ensuring successful solutions for our clients worldwide.
We add value to the recruitment process because we know the talent pool, salary dynamics, and required competencies for different functions within different industries. Thanks to our solid and shared experience, CFR Global Executive Search can offer companies, wherever they are, specific competencies in Industrial & Energy, Construction & Infrastructure, Life Science, Pharmaceuticals & Healthcare, IT & Digital, and Food & Agriculture.
How Do We Make All These Promises Happen?
Although the pandemic forced us to move our global meetings online during 2020 and 2021, we much prefer meeting face to face.
