Covert executive search for care management: Our recruitment consultants successfully fill vacancies for facility managers

High-speed headhunting in northern Germany: top shortlist, selection of the best and successful appointment of the managing director of the facility

The Kontrast personnel consulting team has successfully completed another challenging mandate in the medical & nursing sector: As part of a covert executive search, the position of Managing Director of a facility (m/f/d) at a non-profit organization in northern Germany was filled.

The aim was to find a successor for a sensitive management position - without interrupting operations and with high expectations in terms of discretion, speed and quality.

Covert search: discretion as a process requirement

The assignment required a consistently confidential approach. Our team therefore relied on a clearly timed executive search process with a digital direct approach, qualified pre-selection and structured communication - without unnecessary visibility in the market. This allowed us to realistically map the candidate situation while maintaining confidentiality towards internal and external stakeholders.

High-speed headhunting with a robust shortlist

Within a short space of time, a strong field of candidates was identified, approached and evaluated according to standardized criteria. The result was a top shortlist for the decision-making body (Management Board/Foundation Board).

In addition to nursing and operational management experience, the focus was on management skills, leadership effectiveness, steering ability and value orientation - in line with the strategic development of the organization.

Selection of the best successfully secured

The final selection was based on a structured, comprehensible procedure ("selection of the best"): The HR consultants supported the decision-making process with comparable interview and evaluation logic, transparent suitability assessments and clean documentation of the selection criteria. This provided the committee with a reliable basis for making a quick and quality-assured personnel decision.

Thanks to the client - and to the team

Our entire team and our management team would like to thank the client for their trust and professional cooperation. A particular internal success factor was our permanently employed personnel consultants, who closely managed the process, personally accompanied candidates and made it possible to reach a decision in a short space of time.
