Vacancies filled at De Castel:

General manager
Sales engineer
Industrial representative
Technical representative

As the 2nd generation of the family business wished to take early retirement, De Castel determined that they needed a General Manager to look after day-to-day and financial affairs. In an ever-changing market and with a complex business model, it was imperative for the company to have a recruitment partner who understood their specific business context.

The profile required for their GM was someone with engineering experience, capable of driving a transformation to make the company more resilient. The General Manager also needed to have a good understanding of the technical aspects of the company's products and business model.

Despite the specific profile required, we were able to quickly find a new GM for De Castel. Throughout the recruitment process, we also supported the company by providing interview material and advice on the job description, salary scale and profile required.
