What kind of roles does Division One fill?

Division One focuses on executive search and interim management placements, primarily for senior leadership and director-level positions. Our expertise lies within the Consulting and Business Services sectors across Germany. We also place non-executive directors, requiring a deep understanding of corporate governance and strategic oversight.

How does Division One's executive search process work?

Our process begins with a thorough understanding of a client's needs, followed by proactive candidate identification. We engage potential candidates directly, often those not actively seeking new roles. If you match a requirement, we'll contact you for a confidential discussion about the opportunity and your suitability before presenting you to the client.

How can I get Division One's attention?

The most effective way to be considered is by having a profile that aligns with our current or future executive search mandates in Consulting or Business Services. Ensure your professional profile, particularly on platforms like LinkedIn, is detailed and includes relevant keywords. Referrals from trusted contacts within these sectors are also highly valued.

What should I expect when working with Division One?

We prioritize transparent and confidential communication throughout the search process. You can expect regular updates on relevant opportunities and feedback stages. As an executive search firm, we typically work on behalf of our clients, meaning the hiring company engages our services and covers our fees.

Is Division One the right agency for my job search?

Division One is best suited for experienced professionals and senior leaders targeting executive or director-level roles within the German Consulting and Business Services industries. If you are seeking entry-level positions or roles outside these specific sectors, our services may not be the most appropriate fit for your current search.

Who pays Division One's fees?

As an executive search firm, Division One is engaged by our client companies to find suitable candidates. Therefore, our fees are paid by the hiring organization, not by the candidate.

What happens to my CV and data after submission?

Your data is handled with strict confidentiality. We only share your profile with a client after obtaining your explicit consent for a specific role. Your information is stored securely and used in compliance with data protection regulations.

Should I still apply directly if I see a role advertised?

If Division One is handling an executive search for a role, it is best to engage with us directly. Applying through multiple channels may not expedite your application and could potentially cause administrative delays.
