Executive Search
Since 1978, Maes & Lunau has been identifying and introducing scarce top talent to ambitious organisations across both the non-profit sector and the corporate world. Our longstanding expertise in executive search, our experience as a dedicated search firm, and our national and international network underpin a strong track record across a wide range of sectors.
Candidates and clients value our thorough and content-driven approach, our transparency, and our commitment. Both the consultant and the research consultant pay close attention to diversity, to understanding team dynamics, and to identifying the individual strengths and complementary competencies a new executive should bring to strengthen the team. Maes & Lunau has signed the Talent to the Top charter. Forty-nine per cent of the positions entrusted to us are filled by women. With our extensive and highly professional research capability, we are not dependent on advertising; instead, we can identify and approach the best candidates for each assignment directly..
Beyond the obvious
The obvious solution is not always the best one. In fact, it often pays to look further. That is precisely what Maes & Lunau does. We look beyond a CV or background — the traditional way of searching. We focus on personality, and especially on someone’s underlying motivations. What drives a person? We assess competencies, and we consider energy and ambition levels. These are qualities that, in our experience, are just as important when predicting the likelihood of success in a next role.
Looking further is rooted in our many years of experience and in our own authenticity. We dare to be critical, we do not shy away from asking challenging questions, and we never take statements at face value. The easy answer is not what we pursue. Especially in today’s market, where competition for top talent is intense, it truly pays to look beyond the obvious.
