Talentor is the ideal partner for organizations seeking executives, key professionals or strategic roles such as CEO, CFO, CSO, CIO, COO, Director, Head of, Managing Director or Board Members.
Our clients benefit from deep industry expertise, a certified executive search process and high efficiency in filling demanding roles. We work with organizations that value transparency, individual consulting, validated methods and sustainable leadership decisions.
Executive Search or headhunting focuses on identifying and approaching leaders who are typically not actively seeking a new role. The process is discreet, strategic and quality‑driven, including market analyses, professional direct outreach and structured interviews.
The objective is to attract candidates who are professionally, personally and culturally aligned with the organization and capable of driving long‑term success. Executive Search is primarily used for top‑management or particularly critical roles that require confidentiality and a high degree of precision.
Talentor Austria offers a comprehensive Executive Search solution built on effectiveness, quality and deep industry knowledge, including:
- Tailored advisory services
- Identification of suitable candidates through Executive Search & Direct Search
- Precise market and target‑company analyses
- Scientifically validated diagnostics (Insights MDI®, OPQ32, MPA)
- HR consulting and assessment services
This ensures our clients meet not just suitable candidates, but true “Leaders for tomorrow” who create measurable value for the organization.
“Leaders for tomorrow” are modern executives who guide organizations successfully through an increasingly complex and digital world. They combine expertise, experience, innovation and character.
They drive change, foster talent development and create environments in which teams can grow. Talentor assesses not only skills, but also personality, motivation, values and cultural fit – because true leadership is defined by mindset and impact.
At Talentor Austria, the average time to fill an executive position is approximately 85 days from project start. Within the first three weeks, we present a shortlist of highly qualified candidates, followed by initial top‑candidate presentations within the next one to two weeks. The time to final decision depends on the number of interview rounds but remains fast, structured and efficient overall.
Average project duration with Talentor Austria:
Shortlist | Presentation of candidates | Successful placement |
approx. 24 days | approx. 35 days | approx. 85 days |
Personality diagnostics are a core element of the Talentor executive search process. Tools such as Insights MDI®, OPQ32 and MPA provide validated insights into working style, behaviour, motivation and leadership personality.
These methods support management and HR decisions, reduce hiring risks and significantly increase the success rate of executive placements.
Industry expertise is essential in executive search because only a deep understanding of sectors, role requirements and competitive environments enables the precise identification of suitable candidates for key positions.
Expertise in industries such as Life Science, Construction or Technology allows consultants to interpret requirements correctly and place roles like CEO, CFO, Director, COO or Head of with accuracy.
Our consultants work in specialized business units, conduct peer‑level conversations, understand cultural frameworks and identify high‑quality headhunting candidates – ensuring long‑term professional and cultural fit.
Talentor ensures fit through a multi‑stage, ISO‑certified executive search process that assesses qualifications, personality, values and cultural alignment. The Talent Acquisition team identifies candidates through direct search, active sourcing and targeted outreach, followed by structured interviews conducted by our consultants. Scientifically validated diagnostics add further depth and security.
All results are documented in detailed candidate dossiers, enabling our clients to engage with personalities who truly match the role, the culture and future leadership requirements.
