Testimonials

Apollo / ConsultancyExit delivered a great hire for our Head of BD position — plus a strong backup candidate — in 10 weeks, despite the summer holiday. Because they took the time to truly understand our business, they were able to attract top talent, and make spot on candidate assessments.

Waterland Private Equity

We have been very successful in adding a highly entrepreneurial candidate to our team by working with Apollo Executive Search. Their in-depth understanding of the sector combined with a professional, structured approach made a big difference in finding and attracting the right person. High recommendation.

Managing Partner Smile Invest

With Apollo, we hired a strong and experienced CFO within little more than 2 months after the kick-off. All within a very competitive candidate environment. Apollo helped us further calibrate the CFO position  and define what we needed specifically for our organization. Effective and easy to work with.

How we work

Business understanding

We talk to your key stakeholders, stress-test the profile against real candidate profile examples and align on what the role needs to deliver before outreach begins.

Thorough market mapping

Our experienced, international research team maps the full relevant candidate landscape, including geographically complex and hard-to-reach markets. We thrive where talent pools are tight and the right leaders are rarely looking. Our reach, candidate reputation and hands-on approach is what makes the difference. We reach out personally, with a compelling, content-rich and visually attractive proposition that converts strong candidates into engaged ones.

Disciplined execution

A structured process, proactively managed. We introduce candidates against agreed evaluation criteria and stay close through every stage; interviews, referencing, negotiation and close. Target: completion within 9 to 12 weeks of kick-off.

We start with your business. Then we find the leader it needs.

Most searches fall short before they start — because the brief wasn’t right. Apollo invests heavily upfront in understanding your business: the strategy, the challenges, the value creation opportunity and the leadership context. That holds whether you are a PE-backed portfolio company, a founder-led scale-up, a family business or another growth oriented SME business preparing for the next generation of leadership.

Only once that picture is clear do we go to market.
