OUR
RECRUITMENT FOCUS IN
LITHUANIA &
CENTRAL & EASTERN
EUROPE
Our
the first recruitment in
the Central and Eastern
Europe region was in 2001,
with the placement of a
Sales Manager for a
leading Danish industrial
company. Since that time,
we have recruited across
this vast and diverse
region many outstanding
General Managers, Sales
Managers, Finance
Managers, Supply Chain
Managers, Factory
Managers, Human Resources
Managers and other
talented managers, in
dozens of industrial and
service sectors.
Our
focus in Lithuania and in
the CEE Region:
Experienced, internationally
trained Local and Expatriate
Senior Managers to run CEE
regional or single-country
business units of major
international companies that
are based outside of the
region.
In the
Central and Eastern
Europe region we recruit
Senior Managers for
mostly European,
North American, and
Asian companies where
the goal is to increase
local market share or to
increase the efficiency
of the business unit.
Often the best
solution is to recruit
local bilingual or
multilingual managers
who have strong track
records of success in
the markets of the
CEE region. Most of
these candidates have
been trained at major
global companies.
A
significant percentage
of our CEE candidates
have been educated in
Western European or
North American
universities, making
them
knowledgeable cultural
bridges between national
and regional corporate
business cultures.
Because ART is a global
executive search firm,
if needed, we can
supplement a local
national search with
national candidates who
might now be based in
Western Europe, North
America, or other world
locations.
While we
try to focus on local
candidates whenever
available, we also
recruit foreign
managers, often fluent
in the business language(s) of the country, who
have strong track
records of management in
the target location.
Our
emphasis is to find
managers who perform
well in accordance with
the business ethics and
business style of the
foreign company. The
objective is to find a
leader whom the foreign
company can trust to run
their business, while
effectively reaching local
customers, suppliers, and employees
in a way that they will
find comforting.
Whenever
possible, we seek
candidates who have
worked at their best
in similar roles at
foreign firms, often at
our client's direct
competitors or
near-competitors.
Familiarity with the
target industry or
market sector usually
means faster success and
greater organizational
effectiveness.
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 CEE
or even large blue chip
firm, for example, might
not be the right person
as employee #1 at a
medium-sized foreign
firm's greenfield
business unit in the
CEE.
