Frequently asked questions - Employers

What is the difference between Werte Connect and Executive Search?
Although both services are provided by Werte Executive Search, they are designed for different hiring needs.

Werte Connect is based on professionally presented job advertisements and applications received through the platform. It includes consultant-led application review, candidate screening and the delivery of a qualified shortlist.

Executive Search is designed for positions where suitable candidates are unlikely to apply through an advertisement. It includes proactive market research, identification of individuals within target companies and direct approach to selected professionals.

Can Werte Connect be combined with Executive Search?
Yes. Werte Connect can be used as a standalone service or complemented with additional services. Depending on your needs, this may include leveraging our extensive candidate database to identify additional professionals, conducting in-depth personal interviews with shortlisted candidates, offering support throughout the salary negotiation process, or delivering other consultancy services tailored to your specific requirements.

If your recruitment process requires proactive identification and direct approach to selected individuals, Werte Executive Search can provide full Executive Search service.

Why are company names not published?
Senior professionals rarely make career decisions based on a job advertisement alone. They look beyond the position itself and seek to understand the broader business context before deciding whether the opportunity is worth exploring.

In many cases, professionals try to gather this information through their own network before deciding whether to apply. Werte Connect offers a different approach.

We provide the opportunity to discuss each role with experienced executive search consultants. Drawing on our market knowledge and long-standing relationships, we help candidates understand the opportunity before deciding.

Why are salary ranges published?
Experienced professionals want to understand the overall value of an opportunity before deciding whether to apply. Together with the business context, the salary range helps candidates make a well-informed decision and contributes to a more transparent process.

Before a position is published, employers define the available compensation budget. As this budget may accommodate candidates with different levels of seniority and experience, it is presented as a salary range rather than a single figure. This ensures transparency while allowing flexibility throughout the process.

Frequently asked questions - Professionals

What kind of opportunities can I expect to find on Werte Connect?
Werte Connect is a career platform for senior professionals, dedicated to management and high-ranking expert opportunities. While compensation is not the defining criterion of a senior role, the opportunities published on the platform generally offer a net monthly salary starting from approximately EUR 2,500 and above. Our focus is on positions that require significant professional experience, leadership responsibilities or highly specialized expertise.

Who am I applying to?
When you apply for a position on Werte Connect, your application is submitted to Werte Executive Search, not directly to the employer.

Our consultants review all applications and identify the candidates whose profiles best match the requirements of the position. If your experience is considered a strong fit, we will contact you by phone to introduce the employer, provide additional information about the opportunity and answer any questions you may have.

Your CV is shared with the employer only after you confirm that you wish to proceed. If you decide to continue, the employer will then contact you directly regarding the next stages of the recruitment process.

What if I decide not to proceed after learning the employer’s identity?
That decision is entirely yours and will always be respected.

If, after speaking with one of our consultants, you decide that you do not wish to be introduced to the employer, your CV will not be shared with the company.

Your profile will remain in the Werte Executive Search database and may be considered for future Executive Search opportunities that match your experience.

Do I need to apply for every position separately?
Yes.

Each position published on Werte Connect is managed as a separate process. Applications are reviewed only for the specific opportunity to which they were submitted, so if another position interests you in the future, we encourage you to apply again.

This reflects the nature of the Werte Connect service, which is based on applications received for individual job advertisements rather than proactive candidate search.

However, if we are conducting an Executive Search project and your profile matches a client’s requirements, our consultants may contact you directly regarding that opportunity.
