We do not specialise in any particular industry or profession. Over the years, however, most of our clients have been international companies, since we understand their problems and needs, in particular the need to find a mutually beneficial match between an individual’s values and company culture.
Our clients are often companies well established in Russia, needing to confidentially replace managers, or to find a recruitment solution suited to a recent change in their modus vivendi. At the same time, many of our clients are European companies seeking entry onto the Russian market. For them we can provide advice on their very first team members who (often being multifunctional) lay the first stone here, be it a representative office or a factory or a fully trading and importing Russian legal entity. Many of such projects are performed outside major cities, far way in the country.
Among our clients are small private companies, sometimes family owned, as well as major blue chips. As for industry they often come from life sciences and construction materials, as well as heavy industry, engineering, fast-moving consumer goods, trading, chemical production, services and professional services. Having said that, we did successful searches in high-technology, telecommunications and financial services, as well as in fashion and retail industries.
We at Alex Terp take special care in choosing our clients. This is based on several reasons.
- Our clients are realistic – we do not accept an assignment where we cannot guarantee that suitable candidates will be found, assessed and presented on time
- Long-lasting partnership – we prefer to build long-lasting cooperation between our clients, our candidates and ourselves
- Our client is an attractive employer – our consultants cannot accept an assignment from a company where, if they had the needed qualifications, they would not want to work themselves
- Shared values, transparency – we will hesitate to accept an assignment from a client who does not share our ethical values, of which the main ones are mutual respect, transparency, and respect for the individual
The above principles in choosing clients are employed to make sure our clients win in the end, meaning that they do not spend their time and money in vain retaining us to do the job. In equal proportion our candidates win too, for we can realistically help them minimise risks when changing jobs. Finally, we as your search consultants win as well, for these principles in client choosing enable us to always perform well.
