Executive Search
The right person for a leadership role is rarely looking for a new one.
Finding the right leader takes more than a search assignment. It takes market knowledge, a deeply rooted network within the sector, and a process built for leadership, not volume. That’s exactly what we deliver when an executive mandate calls for it.
Our services
Tailored to fit.
Leadership challenges come in many forms. So do we.
Every organization has different needs when leadership is on the line. We adapt our approach to what the situation requires, not the other way around.

Market knowledge
At the intersection of complexity and consequence.
In technology, engineering, utilities, logistics, defense, and manufacturing, decisions have consequences. Systems are interdependent. The margin for error is real. These are sectors that don’t just reward strong leadership, they require it.
Our clients are ambitious organizations that operate at the intersection of complexity and consequence. They don’t come to us because finding talent is hard, but because finding the right leader, someone who can withstand the demands of that environment, is what makes the difference.
What we’re proud of
Our work for TenneT
TenneT manages the national high-voltage infrastructure in the Netherlands and Germany, and plays a central role in the energy transition. Following a recent, far-reaching restructuring, the need arose for new leadership capacity.
Search X Recruitment supports TenneT at this level as its permanent recruitment partner for leadership positions. From that position, we have already successfully filled multiple director-level roles, while the collaboration continues to expand with a growing number of ongoing mandates.
The partnership is secured for the next three years. That fits how we work. Organizations operating in complex, fast-changing environments are exactly the type of client we feel at home with, and where we make the difference.

Retained
The power of commitment.
Searches at this level require focused, sustained commitment. We work exclusively on a retained basis, which means the mandate receives full attention from day one, with a clear timeline and full transparency on progress.
This model isn’t the right fit for every vacancy. We’re happy to look at the best solution together with you.
