Founded in 1998, MSC Headhunting is a retained executive search firm.
With offices in the UK, Germany, and the Netherlands, MSC has spent over two decades building deep relationships across industries and borders. We specialise in identifying, approaching, and placing C-level executives, board members, and senior leaders for organisations that demand the best.
Our team of bilingual consultants brings sector-specific expertise, cultural intelligence, and an unwavering commitment to finding people who transform organisations. We operate 24/7, reflecting the global nature of today’s talent markets.
MSC holds preferred supplier status with leading venture capital and private equity firms, and has acted as advisers to the European Parliament on matters of international talent mobility.
We believe the right leader at the right time can fundamentally reshape an organisation’s trajectory. That belief drives every search we undertake.
Disciplines that define us.
100% Completion Rate
Every retained search we accept is completed. We guarantee results because we invest the time to understand what success looks like for your organisation.
Passive Candidate Access
The best candidates aren’t job-seeking. Our extensive networks allow us to approach high-performing individuals with discretion and credibility.
Bilingual & Multicultural
Our consulting team operates fluently across languages and cultures, ensuring nothing is lost in translation during cross-border placements.
Sector Depth
Specialist knowledge across 12+ industries. Our consultants are former practitioners who understand competitive dynamics at a granular level.
Confidential by Default
Every engagement is handled with the utmost discretion. Competitive intelligence, candidate identities, and strategic appointments remain strictly confidential.
Long-Term Partnerships
90% of our retained work comes from repeat clients. We build relationships that last decades, not transactions.
In-house research. No shortcuts.
Unlike most other headhunting companies, we have an in-house research team. The expertise spans across all industry sectors in which we operate. Our team of researchers are multilingual, highly experienced globally, and operate in covert environments.
They can find anyone, anywhere.
