Why
work
with
Cribb?

Leading enterprises know about the challenges of the digital world.

We know how to find the right people to tackle them.

We are specialised

We have repeatedly been voted among the best executive search firms in Germany, most recently in 2023 by WirtschaftsWoche. We understand in detail the context, structures and trends of the digital economy. We often make change happen, long before it is seen in the market.

We have been closely involved in the development of the digital economy in Germany from the beginning. Back in 1998, we began to seek leaders for the newly emerging sector. We have continued to contribute to its development ever since, accompanying many companies in their development, networking with the people driving the market and placing many outstanding leaders in key positions.

We work with efficient tools and processes

Executive search, as we understand it, is a structured process that is carried out in a predictable way and proceeds within an agreed timeframe.

Working with Cribb takes out the elements of chance or unpleasant surprises. We plan a search in detail and carry it out as agreed. Databases and process tools support us in the search and in the reporting of results. Established diagnostic methods aid in evaluating suitable candidates.

We have an excellent network

After more than 1.500 leadership searches and with more than 10,000 executive contacts from the digital sector every year, our consultants have an outstanding network. A continuous exchange with the key decision makers, investors and industry observers allows us to be up-to-date with the newest developments at all times.

It is nigh impossible to cope with the challenges of digitization without solid advice on who can be relied upon to solve them. Dwight and his team are so well networked in the digital industry that they will find the right problem solvers.

Dwight delivers reliable success through closely managed interaction between candidate and client. The meetings are not like interviews, but more like a an in depth exchange if ideas among industry colleagues. Most of the shortlisted candidates are also very good personal fits. I experience Cribb’s professionalism through an extremely strong network and the great expert teamplay backstage. The fun in the search hence already starts with the briefing and preparatory meetings. A very competent process from need to success factor.
