Development
We have been working with the utmost discretion and precision since 1997. Originally started with the concept of recruiting MBA graduates from leading international business schools for clients in Europe, the spectrum quickly expanded.
From the very beginning, the core focus was on building ong-term contacts with highly motivated international professionals. The client base, which was initially limited to Germany, quickly expanded across borders, initially to other Western European countries.
Similarly, the client base broadened from private equity funds to include as well investment banks, asset managers, consulting and industrial companies. Today, our clients cover, for example, almost the entire principal investment spectrum: from early stage venture capital funds to growth / expansion capital, big ticket buyouts firms, family offices, special situations funds, to impact investing.
Just like our expansion in different countries and industries, the range of our mandates grew rapidly: from the initial post-MBA / associate level it soon extended across all levels from analyst to managing director.
One constant above all servces as a guarantee of stability in this dynamic development: our founding partners who have been working together for many years.
Claim
Our guiding principle is a high level of both client and candidate satisfation. We see collaboration as a sustainable process and want to bring the right people together through a deep understanding of our clients and long-term relationships with candidates.
Trust
For us, a trusting and credible communication with companies and applicants is essential. This enables us to consider the so-called 'soft factors' beyond the job descriptions that are often limited to hard facts. Moderating nuances is part of developing successful teams.
Encounter
We travel long distances to establish personal contacts - from visiting the campus of a prestigious business school in the United States to the office of a client in Southeast Asia.
Internationality
Almost every business activity today has an international component. Foreign languages and cultural flexibility through stys abroad are important aspects of a successful career. We are specifically looking for such profiles.
Expertise
GRiP works primarily with companies that are market leaders. Accordingly, we have in-depth experience in demanding environments and are therefore able to recognize the unique selling points of an applicant even in unusual resumes.
