Digital executives for your future

Digitalisation is changing companies faster than ever before. It opens up new business opportunities, puts established structures to the test and requires strong strategic leadership. Whether in traditional industries such as automotive, mechanical engineering and finance or in the digital economy with SaaS platforms, e-commerce and FinTechs - companies need visionary executives who not only keep pace with digitalisation, but actively drive it forward. But the best digital leaders are not looking for them - they need to be found.
As one of the leading top-level personnel consultancies for executive search, board member & interim management, division one is your partner for strategic personnel decisions in the IT and technology sector. We identify and recruit digital leaders - whether CIO, CDO or IT strategists who not only manage processes but also create innovations - with technological understanding, entrepreneurial foresight and leadership qualities.

Access to top talent that others can't find
Competition among executives in the IT and digital environment is tougher than ever before. The best minds are often not actively available on the labour market - they need to be targeted.
Thanks to our ENEX network and our direct access to top talent, we identify candidates who remain out of reach with conventional recruiting methods. We convince them not only with attractive positions, but also with our in-depth knowledge of the market and our ability to link their career goals with the strategic requirements of our clients.
But it's not enough to find top talent - they also have to fit in perfectly with your company's strategic direction. With our Deep5S process, we guarantee a customised selection that ensures both professional and cultural suitability.
