Candidate Services: Recognise professional opportunities and make systematic use of the right moment

Odgers Berndtson as a Partner for Personal Career Development

Recognising the right moment for change, finding the appropiate challenge, analysing future opportunities for development, evaluating one's own abilities clearly, perceiving one's market worth realistically - these are just some of the reasons why executives and experts seek out a discussion with Odgers Berndtson's consultants.

Odgers Berndtson consultants relate your professional prospects to your own specific situation in life; they help to define goals and point out ways in which they can best be realised. Up-to-date knowledge of the sector, large numbers of contacts, absolute discretion and the utmost integrity provide the basis for a growing number of ongoing career successes.

Odgers Berndtson's Candidate Services include:

Opportunities Seismograph

Because of their market analyses and personal contacts, Odgers Berndtson's consultants have early knowledge of those sectors of the job market that are on the move. You can take advantage of this head start through discussion with your consultant.

Personal Career Management

One pivotal  theme in Odgers Berndtson's consultations is the derivation of recommendations about the direction that your life should take - your personal and career planning strategy - from the current market situation within your area of business. These recommendations are individual, reliable, well-founded and purposed.

Salary Appraisal

The correct answers to critical questions about salary expectations (and whether your current efforts are being properly rewarded) can only be generated on a solid basis of market research, sector experience, business expertise and personal contacts. Your Odgers Berndtson consultant will work out your personal market value from these key resources.

How to make the most of consultants

Here are a few tips on working most effectively with personal consultants: talk openly about your professional situation, about successes and about failures. You can be sure of absolute discretion from Odgers Berndtson, and your consultant needs as much information as possible upon which to base an individual strategy. When you are looking for new challenges, concentrate on finding a consultant who is compatible with you, both professionally and personally. Stay in contact with Odgers Berndtson - your consultant will not present you with the best alternative immediately available, but will only offer those positions that really suit your career and life plan.
