Frank Knudsen
The President behind Kennedy Executive Search
Throughout the challenges of 2024, DNA Headhunting and Kennedy Executive Search have remained uniquely positioned to deliver value for our clients.
We supported the acceleration of senior talent upgrade projects related to Digital Transformation, Supply Chain De-Globalization, and Restructuring (M&A, spin-offs, divestitures). We also experienced a sharp increase in the demand for our services related to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, particularly from private, mid-size companies operating in both America and Europe.
Jorg Stegemann
Kennedy Executive Search Founder
“Clients and candidates love working with boutique search firms because they feel they get better service. And they love working with the big integrated corporates as they get global understanding. This is why I have created Kennedy: local high-touch service only a boutique can deliver and the helicopter view only a large firm can provide. The best of two worlds.”
What our clients are saying
“I have been working with Ikelosz Kft. since 2012. It was obvious from the first project onwards, that György quickly learned how our company works, and understood our company culture. Therefore he introduced professionally well prepared relevant candidates who fit our team keeping tight deadlines. Key members of our C-level management team was selected with his assistance, this way Ikelosz Kft. efficiently contributed to the success of our company in recent years.”
“Unterberger & Partner is by far the most professional Consultancy I have worked with. You were always available or got back to me as soon as possible when I contacted you. Our discussions were always relaxed and useful. The preparation for the interviews was very clear and helped me to avoid surprises.”
“I got to know Adrian & Roth Personalberatung GmbH from two sides: as a client and as a candidate. As a client (employed by several companies) in search of highly qualified employees, I was always optimally advised and supported by Mr. Roth. Within a short period of time, Adrian & Roth Personalberatung was able to present me with suitable candidates who, in addition to their professional qualifications, also distinguished themselves by their special ability to work in a team. As a contractor, after an American company had terminated my employment within five minutes after several years, I found in Mr. Roth a supportive and encouraging partner in the difficult situation of unemployment at an advanced age. His professionalism paired with good contacts to the industry is therefore the best prerequisite for successful consulting and placement. I can recommend Adrian & Roth Personalberatung with conviction!”
“Saltor makes a difference when strategic roles need filled. Saltor shows its value by applying individual methodologies to the recruitment process and a ‘cutting-edge’ candidate experience. The process is always tailored to our needs and specific roles available. Saltor stands out by getting to know us both inside and out, understanding our business and culture, for a hiring fit that not only reflects key talents and skills, but also cultural drive. For Banco Sabadell cultural fit is crucial to any hire as we need to make sure that the person we hire isn’t just someone we can see building profits for our business – but someone we’d be happy to work and grow with. In our eyes Saltor has managed to create an intimate, attentive experience, leading to a greater chance of finding the best talent. It also gives you the benefit of a single point of contact and a more focused team at your disposal. Saltor has demonstrated since the very first day being very flexible and agile in its ability to search for talent on our behalf.”
“I retained Caroline Frisenberg to conduct a high profile General Manager search for our business. I have been extremely impressed with the way in which Caroline ran the search process and with the quality of the candidates she has presented and her ability to deliver on time. Many other recruiters rely only, or too much, on their existing data. Caroline did a thorough analysis of our company and recognized our needs and the person, character and background most suited to the role. She tailored the research matching our business model, covering the entire market, which generated excellent results. I would definitely recommend Caroline Frisenberg for high-end retained executive search, and I will use her again for all future search mandates.”
“What I experienced with D.C.G. Consulting was without the phrases: - 100% customer as well as result orientated approach - high level of the Head Hunting maturity. The beauty, intelligence, quality of questions, the technique of listening and evaluating of given answers, arguments, then enormous flexibility and sense for optimal organizing of the next interview is something what is high above the standard. And being behind the table with Decision Maker who is in charge for 35 countries and is the client of D.C.G. – I heard: ‘Yes, we have only the positive experience with the recommended candidates by D.C.G., who understands our needs, expectations and finally is saving a lot of time in the recruiting of our future colleagues’. I had the possibility to work as a CEO of a an international headhunting company for Central and Eastern Europe, many years ago. I would take D.C.G´s style and sell it as ‘the case study of the success story’.”
