You feel well looked after and supported. I am confident that, with Senator’s help, I will find a new professional challenge that, above all, suits me.“

Konrad Schmidt-Sibeth

 

„I have come to know Senator Executive Search Partners as a highly reputable and competent partner who, drawing on their extensive industry knowledge and professionalism, seek out and find the right people for the role in question. Communication with me as a candidate was also always prompt, direct and open, so that I was kept informed of the latest developments at all times. I’d be happy to work with them again.“

Till Kirstetter

 

„I have come to know Senator as a reputable consultancy firm that conducts interviews with care and creates a very pleasant atmosphere. This fosters openness and provides the opportunity to address topics that cannot be gleaned from the impersonal page of a CV. Combined with a structured potential analysis, this rounds off the picture of a competent partner.“

Michael Schneider

„A very friendly and straightforward initial contact. Clear and easy-to-understand wording of the
Process steps and procedures. Fast communication channels and document transfer. Fair,
Transparent and very trustworthy. Highly recommended.“

Michael Kunkel

„Working with Senator Executive Search Partners was a very professional experience! The personal contact with the consultant was pleasant, and correspondence was prompt.

The consultation was very informative and results-oriented. The job description and the job requirements were discussed at length and in detail.

“Highly recommended."

„Working with Senator is a very pleasant and productive experience. We communicate as equals and focus on finding solutions. Thank you very much for that.“

Andreas Rensch

„Senator Executive Search Partners conduct themselves in a highly professional manner. The potential and strengths analysis is comprehensive and reflects many facets of a person’s character. The outcome of the assessment came as little surprise to me, as I would have assessed myself in exactly the same way with regard to my strengths and weaknesses across almost all assessment criteria. The potential and strengths analysis complements the application documents very well and provides a more comprehensive picture of the candidate. I would highly recommend Senator Executive Search Partners – and Mr Miebach in particular – at any time.“

Claus Pöllinger

„I would like to take this opportunity to thank you personally for the highly professional yet pleasant atmosphere during our collaboration so far. I am confident that our joint efforts will continue to bear fruit in the future, and I look forward to continuing our collaboration.“

Marcus Bernecker

„The team at SENATOR EXECUTIVE SEARCH PARTNERS were very professional, quick and efficient right from the start. Particularly noteworthy is the comprehensive potential analysis, which provided a very in-depth insight into my personality and my strengths. This assessment provided me with valuable insights myself and demonstrates just how thoroughly and meticulously SENATOR EXECUTIVE SEARCH PARTNERS approaches the selection of candidates.“

Sead Lisakovic

„My first contact with Ms Gebhardt was very pleasant and friendly. I’d say that you can tell right from the initial consultation whether or not the relationship is going to work out.”.

The second interview with the experienced Mr Thielemann focused on more in-depth questions regarding the skills required for the role (personal, professional and methodological). The interview took a holistic approach: the candidate’s personal and professional qualities were assessed and analysed (in an objective and appreciative manner).

Based on your own experience and reasoning – drawn from the application process and the people you deal with – you can already make an initial assessment as to whether things will work out with the company and the people there or not.

This is because the company has engaged these people to help with the recruitment process. This means that the staff and future line managers/bosses get on well with this sort of person (in terms of their manner, working style, reasoning, behaviour, communication style, choice of words, etc.). If I get on well with these people, then there is a high probability that I will work well with people from this company and with the company itself.

That’s why I personally attach great importance to the people I deal with during the recruitment process.

Just like in maths: if a = b and b = c, then a = c.

“In addition, the aptitude test for analysing potential and strengths complements the candidate selection process and focuses the attention of all those involved on strengths, which is also a positive thing (if one wishes to approach the matter thoroughly and with a view to the future).”

Dr Andrey Timofeev

„An effective and positive collaboration. Highly qualified and friendly partners with a very goal-oriented approach. I am therefore very satisfied and can highly recommend this recruitment agency.“

Andreas Schulz
