Let ART help build your company's growth globally - one city, region, country, or continent at a time!
We conduct senior management executive search assignments across Africa, on the pan-Africa Regional, sub-regional, or national levels. For more details, please ask your ART recruiter.
In accordance with ART's global practices, our searches focus on identifying the best qualified candidates, without regard to age, gender, religion, marital status, race, ethnicity, color, etc.
WHOM DO WE RECRUIT FOR THE AFRICAN MARKET?
Local senior managers and expatriate senior managers for foreign companies, where the goal is to increase local market share with managers who have strong track records of success in our clients' industry in the local markets of Africa.
Our emphasis in this kind of search is to find managers who perform well in accordance with the business culture of the foreign company. In addition to being fluent in the local language(s) and English, ART has candidates in certain industry sectors who are fluent in other European, Asian and Mideast languages, allowing for stronger communications between HQ and the local market.
Whenever possible, for this kind of search we seek candidates who have worked at their best at foreign firms in this capacity. We take particular care to try to find people who are accustomed to working in a business model that resembles that of the client company. A person who works well at a top, multinational firm, for example, might not be the right person as employee #1 at a foreign greenfield business unit.
Our objective in this search is to find candidates who are sensitive to both the business culture of the home company and to that of the local African customer and staff. The objective is to find a leader whom the foreign company can trust to run their business, while effectively reaching local customers and employees in Africa in a way that they will find comforting.
Our firm recruits across the continent, from north to south, east to west, into most major linguistic and cultural communities. In addition, ART also reaches out to African candidates or Africa-experienced candidates who may be currently residing outside of the continent, particularly in Europe or North America, who would like to return home. When a company needs to evaluate excellent candidates, especially for regional or continental roles across multiple countries and cultures, ART provides excellent value and service to such firms, because geography presents no limit to us.
ART FEES & OTHER POLICIES
- There is no fee to a client for our services if they do not hire our candidate
- A fee is only due if the client hires our candidate
- Our fee is a single fee, quoted at the start of the search. It is a flat fee that is calculated according to the unique specifics of the client's search need. This fee is not based on candidate salary and it does not change according to the candidate's salary. There are no additional charges of any kind.
- ART fees are quoted in US dollars
- ART bases its executive search recruitment on headhunting via the "direct approach" method, whereas many of our competitors only know how to find candidates by advertising, and other luck-based strategies of recruitment. We do not believe that our clients hire us to place jobs advertisements. They need us to find specific people with specific skills at a specific, targeted group of companies. That is what headhunters know how to do.
