Synergy believes in discreetness in Executive Search and information about current assignments and clients is kept confidential. We feel that even the talk of hiring, moving or changing leadership of an organization is a strategic information of interest to it’s competitors.
It’s Practice Teams are led by highly experienced Industry professionals who are industry veterans with close contacts at the top. Once the initial dialogue begins, a senior Practice Head / Consultant from Synergy talks to a Client to understand the organization, leadership context, concerns, roles, expectations, deliverables, target groups etc. and to ensure success of the Search assignment.
Further, the Leadership insights are developed through close interaction with our Top Kestria Teams spread across 40+ countries that constantly exchange ideas, assignments and approaches to Talent Search.
