A core element of DRILL Executive Search is its very close cooperation with you. The aim of this service is to:

• Identify, as precisely as possible, the requirements of the candidate, his professional and managerial skills, specific abilities and experience and potential for further development. 
• Recognize the reasons why the client is looking for a specific candidate. 
• Understand the company, its environment, work ethic, culture and policies, as well as the dynamics of the market in which it operates. Each person is a unique individual and even the most suitable candidate may not be successful in an environment that doesn’t fit his personality or where he will not be able to adapt. In such cases, the candidate would be unable to perform to the necessary degree, causing both financial and psychological distress for all parties involved.
