Executive & International Search


The Search & Selection division Seven Seas is our centre of excellence for high-profile executive & international talent search.

We have more than 25 years of hands-on experience in bespoke high-profile international search and recruitment campaigns for managers, commercial and technical specialists and young potentials.

Executive Search

With more than 25 years of successful experience, our consultants are Search & Selection's most important asset when looking for managers, specialists and high potentials. They draw on a contact network on a national and international scale and always have a clear view of the available potential. This is how our team of specialists succeeds in fulfilling every search mission. 

Your target group is contacted directly and actively motivated. We research potential candidates and constantly assess their expectations, objectives and motivations. 

We keep you continuously informed of all steps in the process: the preparation of the target list, the development of the search strategy, the result of the interviews, the composition of the shortlist and the final selection, if desired with an assessment centre.

An intensive process with the aim of attracting the top candidate with whom you, as an organisation, can set sail.

"It is not the ship so much as the skillful sailing that assures the prosperous voyage."

- George William Curtis

International Search

Our team of experts offers a centralized approach to managing and coordinating international projects in combination with a decentralized on-the-ground execution, local sourcing, screening and assessment.

A centralized international recruitment approach saves on operational costs. Instead of staffing a scattered number of local offices abroad, we invest in improving best practices and in building a powerful international sourcing database. We have developed our own web based communication and information platform for worldwide candidate management, follow-up, interaction, monitoring and screening. We go for minimal time-to-market and maximal result.

 

Marc Van Beethoven on Internationale Search

From our Belgian headquarters we prepare, research and coordinate most of our international search campaigns, while interviews and final selection rounds are usually organized on-location abroad. Advanced filters in our Applicant Tracking & Management System combined with preliminary online screenings and telephone interviews enable us to move forward with only the most relevant and genuinely motivated candidates.

All interview sessions are scheduled to take place within the shortest period of time, which requires intensive planning in advance. Speaking from experience, a single week of interviews on-location takes at least four weeks of planning and preparing in order to make our sessions abroad as efficient as possible.
