“I contacted Alvaro Arias because he had a good reputation and a proven successful track record in telecommunication assignments. He and his team have conducted over fifteen assignments for us this year in many different areas and at different hierarchical levels: virtual mobile, marketing, control, finance, administration and General Manager, Director and Manager. We are a very demanding client in terms of speed, specialization and flexibility. Our size and high growth demands that we work in an extremely high pressure environment. Alvaro has proven to be the consultant we needed and he has the support of Neumann International to deliver under pressure. At the beginning of the year we worked with seven search firms, now we work with only two of them, and one is Neumann International.”
“Successful executive search projects rely on understanding of corporate culture and empathy with candidates. Working with Neumann International and Alfons Röhrenbacher we feel confident that these two extremely important factors are well attended to. Alfons builds genuine and thoughtful relationships with candidates in a way that ensures their personal motivations and professional skills are fully explored. The strong expertise and market knowledge that Neumann International and Alfons bring to every assignment is extremely valuable and important to us. Furthermore we have built up a strong relationship with Neumann International and Alfons and enjoy working with them.”
“Alvaro Arias worked with me in my previous company on different assignments, one of them was particularly challenging as it was a global assignment for a very senior professional to manage one of our portfolio companies. Alvaro’s professionalism, dedication and coordination capabilities were outstanding. He goes one step further and always gives that extra mile beyond the assignment request. We have developed a strong relationship since then with Neumann International. When I moved companies, he was very supportive and helpful during what was a challenging move, providing me with good advice and helping me to prepare meetings and documentation. His support was key to me securing my current position.”
“I contacted the Austrian office of Neumann International to assist us with the search for a member of the management board in our Croatian subsidiary. The head of the Austrian office supported us by immediately putting us in touch with Mirjana Slat in Zagreb. We knew that there were only a few candidates who were qualified for the specific needs we had. On the basis of a common understanding of the required skills, experience and qualifications Mirjana worked out within a short time a clear picture of the desired candidate profile. Throughout the entire search process we were fully informed about the progress of the search. Mirjana and the Neumann International team were extremely dedicated and professional and the pre-selection that resulted in a short-list as well as the interviews with the applicants were extremely high quality. We have in the past worked with a number of different search firms, however the cooperation with Neumann International and Mirjana Slat was based particularly on strong trust and professionalism. Therefore it is a pleasure for us to recommend Neumann-International as a firm you can work alongside with full satisfaction.”
“We needed to find a real partner to establish our new operation in Spain. It was a new market for us and we required a lot of advice in many different areas. We knew Neumann International as a firm and we had good references about Alvaro Arias. Alvaro understood our needs right from the beginning. He was always extremely dedicated and professional. He also supported us in other important matters including providing advice about employment contracts, salary levels and introducing us to key business leaders within the financial services business community. Since then we have only worked with Neumann International in many assignments with full satisfaction.”
“To complete our expansion into the CEE region we had a number of executive positions to recruit. Following a briefing session with Alfons Röhrenbacher regarding the position being recruited, my expectations were exceeded in how quickly I received shortlists of suitable candidates. I felt comfortable and secure, even by the first round of interviews in the first country, that we would be able to fill all positions with strong candidates. Neumann International’s rapid response and presentation of excellent candidates enabled us to find the right employees in a short period of time.”
“During the last three years Alvaro Arias has worked with us as a consultant in executive search and organizational matters. I consider Alvaro as a trusted advisor and an outstanding professional. The first assignment he completed for us was to find our CEO. There were only a few candidates available in the market that qualified. Alvaro was creative and ambitious and showed us we could attract other excellent candidates apart from the ones we were thinking of. We succeeded. Since then we have given Alvaro many top executive assignments. Frequently I solicit Alvaro’s advice in important organizational issues.”
