Building Excellence 
Beyond the C-Suite

At Viavanta, our foundation is rooted in executive search, but we recognize that true organizational excellence extends beyond the C-suite to the vital realms of middle management. Our Professional Search service is designed to help clients build robust, world-class teams. Leveraging our extensive network, global database systems, and advanced AI sourcing tools, we ensure no detail is overlooked. By using competency assessment tools and data-driven insights, we provide tailored recommendations that align perfectly with your specific requirements.

Same Level Recruiting - 
A Complex Challenge

«Recruiting specialists, experts, and mid-management professionals comes with unique challenges. Moving these individuals from one role to a comparable position isn't as simple as it may seem - it's far more complex than guiding someone to the next level in their career. These professionals often require a compelling reason to make a lateral move, and understanding their motivations, skill sets, and career aspirations is crucial. At Viavanta, we leverage our insights and tailored approach to navigate this complexity, ensuring we find the right fit for both the candidate and the organisation.»

Rapid Team Expansion - 
We Call It Multiple Search

«When rapid team expansion is needed, our multiple search approach delivers swift and efficient results. Clients often face capacity constraints, requiring immediate placement of numerous roles. We leverage our expertise in direct outreach to access top-tier candidates quickly and effectively. By handling the entire recruitment offensive, we ensure that your organization gets the right talent in place, meeting tight timelines without compromising quality.»

Turning Challenges into Success through Strategic Recruitment

"I would never have thought that, together with Viavanta, we would be able to recruit over 30 IT, digital and marketing specialists for our less attractive company location. The starting point for the success story of this project was an employer branding workshop in which Viavanta created the story for the direct approach. We supported the resulting integrated recruitment campaign with internal and external marketing measures and led it to success."

Storytelling

Every company writes its own story. In many cases, this story cannot be told to the target group via adverts. In recruitment consulting, the high visibility of target persons on social media means that identifying them is no longer the biggest challenge. Rather, it is storytelling in the desired community. As insiders, we speak honestly and authoritatively with candidates at eye level about challenges of all kinds. Candidates appreciate the fact that we present our partner's story transparently and openly in many respects.

What is your story? Is it heard in the candidate market?
