Our Executive Search Method in Milan

A approachstructured,,discreet e and results-oriented.

All our executive headhunters in Milan follow this rigorous operating methodology:

Head Hunting

Using a discreet, consultative, and personalized approach, we search for active and passive candidates in our network.

CV Screening

Consultants analyze CVs, verifying requirements related to activities and responsibilities, qualifications, and skills.

Network

We activate our network of personal and professional contacts that we have built up at industry events, trade fairs, and conferences.

TAK® interview

An in-depth interview lasting approximately one hour, during which a detailed analysis of the candidate’s professional skills and personal aptitudes is carried out and their motivation is thoroughly investigated.

Assessment

Our consultants’ in-depth knowledge of psychology and the human psyche enables them to conduct objective and impartial tests, including the BFQ-2 personality test and the Pipplet language assessment test.

References

Consultants review the references provided to identify negative and positive aspects of the candidate’s previous work experience.

A solid network, built in the field

We operate through a consolidated network of professional relationships developed over the years, constantly fed by talent mapping, direct networking, and vertical scouting activities.

This allows us to access highly qualified candidates, even those not visible on the market, and to guarantee effective coverage both nationally and internationally.

Our network is made up of executive and managerial profiles from leading companies.

Tell, Act, Know® interview model

We apply a proprietary model, Tell, Act, Know®, developed to ensure a robust, objective, and replicable assessment process.

  • Tell: the moment when the candidate shares their story
  • Act: the analysis of objective facts and actions taken during the candidate’s career
  • Know: the final assessment of the candidate

The TAK® model reduces the margin for error and speeds up time-to-hire, offering a selection process based on evidence rather than perceptions.

BFQ-2 test and skills assessment

As occupational psychologists, we are aware that impartial analysis free from bias is essential. For this reason, we integrate objective assessment tools to support decision-making in every project.

The BFQ-2 is a personality test that provides a comprehensive assessment of the candidate. It is divided into five dimensions for the description and assessment of personality in an organizational context, dimensions that are in turn related to specific organizational skills. We carry out performance assessments to verify the hard skills possessed in complex environments. The most commonly used methodologies in our Executive Search activity in Milan are simulations and business cases.

Excellence in Personnel Selection

Assessment of language skills

In a globalized market, language proficiency is often a key requirement.

We offer a structured language assessment service, conducted by consultants who are fluent in the target language, focusing on:

  • Business communication
  • Industry-specific terminology
  • Leadership skills in a foreign language
  • International reporting and presentations
