Direct search/Executive search/Headhunting

Executive search, also known as Headhunting, is the term used for a search involving middle and top-management staff.

Our executive search contracts entail contacting selected personalities within both the private and public sectors of the Czech Republic.

Our extensive multi-faceted contacts enable us to cross-check our references for targeted candidates.

The exact procedure for carrying out the assignment is managed by the unique CATRO methodology and comprises part of our intellectual property.

The minimum fee charged for conducting this type of search is 400,000 CZK or 33% of the net annual income, whichever is the greater.

If we carry out a “combined search” which means that we advertise in order to strengthen the search potential, our fees will be reduced to 30% of the net annual income because of the synergetic effect. The minimum fee will also be reduced to 350,000 CZK.

The fees will be invoiced in three equal parts:

- The first third will be invoiced when the contract has been signed.

- The second third will be invoiced upon presentation of the selected candidates.

- The final third (success fee) will be invoiced on signature of the employment contract, at the latest 14 days after the presentation.

We shall provide you with a six-month guarantee that the assignment will be followed up. The guarantee will come into effect when the contract has been signed.

You will receive from us a basic three-month guarantee for the candidates we find, which begins on the date the employment contract is signed. This guarantee can be extended, by mutual agreement, to 12 months.

Should any of the candidates placed break off working relationships during the guarantee period, we will start the selection process again, without invoicing any further fees. You will only be liable for direct costs, such as advertising, travel costs, etc.

This guarantee does not apply under abnormal conditions, where the job location is altered, where the employee encounters ill-treatment in the workplace, where the conditions of the employment contract are broken by the employer, or where the employee is fired because adequate working conditions are not ensured, through chicanery or an unfair workload being imposed on the employee.

For our guarantee to apply, we must be informed in writing of any dissatisfaction with the candidate’s performance within the guarantee period, and accordingly, given the opportunity to rectify the situation. In the event that we are not given prior warning, or where we are not given the opportunity to alter the situation, this guarantee will no longer be considered valid.
