Placing Personality. Impacting Change.
As a neutral sparring partner, we support your search and decision-making process in a structured and personalized way. With the agility of a boutique consultancy, we shape sustainable change – without rigid processes, lengthy procedures, or high entry barriers of traditional executive search firms.
Undivi Leadership provides expert support when it matters most:
Executive Search as a
strategic
choice.
For us, it’s more than just filling a position. It’s about making a business decision with long-term impact – on people, organizations, and growth. That’s why we don’t see our work as a recruiting process, but as providing strategic guidance in selecting leaders and making critical decisions.
01.
Professional competence
For us, professional expertise is the foundation of every successful placement. It forms a solid basis without a viable fit cannot be achieved. Regardless of personal affinity or team fit, we see professional qualifications as a prerequisite for moving the process to the next stage.
02.
Understanding of values & cultural fit
In the next step, we examine the candidate’s understanding of values. Not guiding principles, but lived attitude, leadership style, and decision-making logic are what count. Mutual trust only evolves when the candidate and the company share aligned values.Then personality becomes relevant.
03.
Personality
Finally, we consider the individual’s personality. Is the person a good fit for the team, the leadership situation, and the current phase of the company? Can they provide guidance, inspire others, and make meaningful impact?Only if all three criteria are met, we propose a meeting between candidate and client.
Our methodology & approach:
Every collaboration begins with the setup – a shared understanding of the present situation. This involves not only defining the requirements for a position, but also gaining a clear understanding of the circumstances, responsibilities of the role, and the desired impact of the leadership placement. Often, significant added value emerges during this phase, as it becomes clear that challenges do not lie with individuals, but rather within structures, interfaces, or responsibilities.
Based on this setup, the search is launched. We develop a sound understanding of the relevant market and act as an extension of our clients – independently, discreetly, and personally. Our focus is not on visibility, but on targeted outreach where relevant leaders are actually reachable.
We thoroughly and systematically assess each candidate. In addition to education and professional experience, we consider reasons for changing jobs, personal motivations, leadership experience, and understanding of values and culture. The goal is a comprehensive and holistic picture that combines professional qualifications, organizational fit, and individual personality – going far beyond the resume.
Ultimately, the choice is yours. Our role is to provide you with a clear and reliable framework for your decision. You will typically receive an initial longlist within 14 days and a focused shortlist after approximately 21 days. We support the discussions, coordinate further steps such as assessments as needed, and act as your sparring partner throughout the entire decision-making process. The goal is a transparent process that provides clarity and enables well-informed business decisions.
Our responsibility doesn’t end with the signing of the contract. For us, stability means remaining committed to your side even after a successful placement. We guarantee one free replacement within the first three months and another at reduced fees within twelve months thereafter. This guarantee reflects our commitment to quality and highlights our collaborative approach.
Team
Undivi Leadership is led by Sonja Schleser as Business Line Head and Karim Pfeil as Managing Director of Unidivi. Both personally supervise each project from the initial assessment to successful placement. An experienced Undivi team guarantees seamless operational implementation. This ensures that every project benefits from diverse perspectives, while responsibility, management, and decision-making quality remain consistently under one roof. No project handovers. No juniorization. Instead, clarity, commitment, and speed.
Executive Search, to me, means taking responsibility – for people, for organizations, and for impactful decisions. Clearly structured. Personally guided. Entrepreneurially minded.
