ERNST Recruiting

Direct search in Luxembourg since 1997

Trust and Confidentiality

Working with Ernst Recruiting is about developing a long-term, tailor-made relationship to recruit those hard-to-find employees.

Experience

Ernst Recruiting was created in 1997. Its Luxembourgish founder, Thierry Ernst, is 100% specialized in a pro-active recruitment method, which is the direct search approach.

Professionalism

Entrusting your recruitment to Ernst Recruiting means choosing the efficiency of highly targeted recruitment in line with the local Luxembourgish market.

The Method

Recruitment by direct approach

When it comes to recruiting people which are “difficult” to find, it is often more appropriate to search directly for the right profile (the so-called “direct approach”), rather than waiting passively for candidates to respond to a job advertisement.
This approach consists of proactively contacting a potential candidate (often with a very specialized profile), who is usually already well-established within their current firm and, therefore, not specifically looking for a new professional challenge.
This calls for strong communication skills as well as a good match between the candidate and the corporate values of the hiring firm.

Expertise

Ernst Recruiting has a proven track record of success in very specific assignments in local, active direct search. Our firm has managed to source highly experienced executives and employees, who are often in-demand, talented, specialized and quite unique professionals, not necessarily actively seeking a new role.

Analysis

Ernst Recruiting bases its selection on culture, the global and local strategy of the client firm as well as that of the department looking to recruit. Further considerations include the organizational scope, the technical details of the role and its objectives, responsibilities, resources to be made available, position within the organisation, job title as well as the full salary package offered by the company.

Targeting

Personalized and confidential approach towards potential candidates via a multitude of perspectives: sector of activity, professional circles, hierarchical level, local culture, personality, training, languages and seniority.

Partnership

Satisfaction stemming from a client-applicant-consultant “win-win-win” partnership: obtaining quality recruitment, which will continuously evolve through the short to the medium and long-term.

THE DIRECT APPROACH

The alternative solution, addressing the failure of conventional methods

When a company decides to hire a new employee under a permanent contract, it mainly has the choice between two recruitment methods:

  • Attracting applicants via Internet, printed media or through traditional recruitment firms (using their candidate databases and publishing jobs advertisements).
  • Approaching potential candidates who are often not, actively searching for a job, but who may be open to hearing about quality opportunities in the Luxembourg market.

Direct recruitment is THE tailor-made solution that can give you access to rare and highly sought-after profiles.
