Find the General manager - CEO
The international recruitment agency FAVORIT specializes in the selection of CEOs for holdings, industry, IT, finance, retail and international projects. We combine deep profiling, executive search, our own database of trusted managers and targeted headhunting to close key positions with maximum speed and minimal risks.
We work from a strategic brief to the CEO's entry into the position: we create a leader profile, conduct competency assessments and case interviews, managerial assessment testing, background and reputation checks. We guarantee transparency in the process, adaptation in the company, and support during the integration phase.

Selection of general directors
We are conducting an in-depth brief: the company's strategic objectives, KPIs, board expectations, and success criteria for 6-24 months. We are creating a profile of the ideal CEO and EVP (Employer Value Proposition).
We are developing a combination of sources: our own database, industry networks, recommendations from investors and partners, and a targeted approach to passive candidates.
We conduct several stages of interviews, case sessions, and behavioral testing; we evaluate managerial competencies, cultural fitness, and the ability to implement a strategy.
We check achievements, recommendations, legal and financial risks, and confirm the absence of conflicts of interest and reputational threats.
We provide profiles with assessment findings, support compensation negotiations, participate in contract preparation, and provide support during the adjustment period.
