Executive Search with Stella Circle
Start your new chapter!
Would you like to become a board member, CEO or CFO? Do you want to get started as a CTO or become a managing director? Then you've come to the right place. We are not an executive search consultancy, but we offer you much more. Because what you are looking for is not just any management job or C-level position – but the right position, at the right time, with the right people. We work closely with curated partners from our network and can thus pave the way for you to enter a whole new dimension.
No headhunting
– just top-notch opportunities
We are not headhunters in the traditional sense – but we know them. With our many years of experience in various C-level positions and our insider knowledge, we show you which new challenges will help you advance and how you can get there. And when you're ready for the next step, we open doors to exclusive opportunities through our curated network of partners.
Unlike internationally renowned recruitment consultancies such as Egon Zehnder, Heidrick & Struggles, Kienbaum, Korn Ferry, Odgers Berndtson, Rochus Mummert, Russell Reynolds, Spencer Stuart and many more, all of which successfully fill top positions, we support our members before and beyond job placement – because we believe that placement is not the end, but rather the beginning of the work. We know that starting a new phase in your career or entering a new career environment can be difficult. We would like to share with you how we have successfully mastered this in the past.

What is executive search?
And how does it differ from normal recruitment?
Executive search is the supreme discipline of recruitment – targeted, confidential and focused on top executives such as CEOs, CFOs and managing directors. Unlike traditional management jobs, it is not about advertising vacancies, but about finding personalities with impact. Stella Circle goes one step further: we do not offer job placement, but provide strategic support on your path to the right C-level position.
