Our services: 

- Executive Search. The most desired and value-adding employees seldom express their open interest for new tasks. We can find them through the executive search. With executive search a new key person can be found discreetly without the publicity connected to a search using newspaper advertisements. As an outside operator we are able to objectively assess the candidates according to their real competencies. Objectivity is especially important when both internal and external candidates are assessed. We do identify Your needs from the very start and pursue the search to find the best candidates on the market fitting Your recruitment needs perfectly.  

- Search for board members. A competent board of directors and especially its members offer significant added value to your company. In an executive search for board members, we first survey the customer's needs and then search the most suitable candidates among the experienced influential persons and experts in commercial and industrial life. Our contact network at personal level covers many levels of Latvian economic life, supplemented with our international connections for the realisation of demanding assignments all over the world.  

- Management Audit. A management audit is a comprehensive examination of an organization in order to assess efficient use of resources. Similarly, a management audit, although much broader in scope than a financial audit, aims at detecting potential managerial problems in the company that might threaten its existence. Usually management audit is used when companies are in acquisition or mergering process. It is used also to test employee performance and competence and to plan training schemes for employees at managerial or specialst level.
