The secret of our success:
Karachi is not Dubai is not Bogota is not Caracas is not Düsseldorf
x
A
well structured organization
is the standard prerequisite for a distinct company profile: this
applies in equal measures to companies in Africa, America, Asia,
Australia and Europe.
x
Consistency
is the backbone upon which strong companies can react
and adapt to market changes and client needs. In our terms a
consistent organization structure is one which is in perfect
alignment with individual market parameters; a “must have” for
ourselves and our clients.
x
It’s all about structure
Our
track record of success speaks for itself, Signium has been in
business for more than 60 years and is proud of a strong history as
well as long term internal (partners and employees) and external
(clients
and candidates) relationships.
x
Fairness
and a spirit of give and take are major contributors to this success
model but also our firm belief: even though some basics of quality
and process are the same around the world, there is a significant
difference between Executive Recruiting in Düsseldorf and Karachi.
Recognizing and respecting this disparity is what has made us leading
edge in our field.
x
Our
company is registered in USA where it was founded as “Ward Howell
International” in 1951. Today we boast 28 country organizations
around the world, which determine the shape and development of our
global organization. Our structure allows ultimate local flexibility
coupled with a genuine global partnership – creating immeasurable
added value for clients and candidates alike, in Germany and
elsewhere.

Signium
International is steered by an international board of directors
consisting of 7 partners from various regions around the world, led
by a chairman elected for a limited term.
x
The
board of directors is responsible for strategy, guidelines and
worldwide adherence to quality standards. This diverse group of
representatives facilitates a global perspective with a high level of
sensitivity for evolving local needs and developments as well as
cultural nuances which define future trends.
x
Annual
international meetings (European and global) further support and
promote this active exchange of knowledge and ideas. In
our German practice all our partners are equals, whereby each
individual carries responsibility for specific managerial issues.
This structure facilitates a lean and flat organization enabling
quick decisions, uncomplicated definition of common goals and a
genuine spirit of cooperation.
x
We value and desire growth - but not at all costs
Sustaining
excellent results requires quiet
determination and continuity. Growth on the other hand oftentimes
change and pressure. To combat this paradox we have chosen a model
which allows us to aspire to both: sustainable quality and controlled
growth.
x
The
interests of our clients and candidates are our priority number one.
Our business structure guarantees that our partners can deliver a
service of the highest quality and effectiveness, free from
bureaucracy, regardless of location. Whether in Karachi or Caracas
the seniority of our partners is above market average in the
Executive Search Industry – and has been for decades.
x
We
want to achieve growth with the right partners at the right time.
This requires patience, consistency and careful selection to ensure
that our “new” partners carry on our tradition of quality
consulting. Our main principle will always be “Made by Signium is
made in Quality”. Whether in Karachi, Caracas, Dubai or Düsseldorf
our client focus is our primary focus – not our own issues and
certainly not our stock price.
