Start your search with Lense & Lumen
Finding executive leaders across borders often forces a tough choice between massive networks that miss local nuance and boutique firms that lack global reach. Lense & Lumen Advisory Group resolves that trade-off by living our motto of “Act globally, deliver locally.”
Global Reach, Local Expertise
Our alliance of hand-picked leadership advisory and multinational search firms delivers:
- Deep local market knowledge backed by seamless cross-border collaboration
- The cross-border expertise of large networks with the agility of a boutique
- Consistent high-touch service from senior advisors who stay involved
Filling Critical Roles Without the Wait
When a C-suite seat sits empty, every week creates real business risk. Our partners operate in 18 countries with decades of combined experience to quickly place candidates in C-level positions, board openings and other senior leadership roles. We provide strategic guidance from initial search through interviewing, candidate selection and contract negotiation, guaranteeing the best possible global retained executive search services.
Access a global talent pool through a local lens.
Our members are active in 18 countries and each brings in-depth insights into their local talent market. This on-the-ground perspective means you can count on them to deliver the top candidates from their region, not just the ones most visible in international searches.
Internationalise your business successfully.
Hiring an international team is just one step in an effective international expansion. Understanding local employment laws, customs and customer expectations is just as critical when breaking into new regions. The firms in our global alliance serve as trusted experts on their local area, providing nuanced cultural intelligence informed by real experience.
Get tailored high-touch service.
Partners in Lense & Lumen operate as independent, boutique firms, with partners taking direct involvement to provide clients the agility, hands-on attention and personalized service that drives executive search success.
Connect with experts across industries.
Generalist recruiters lack deep domain knowledge, while niche firms’ tight focus may not match the needs of complex, cross-sector organizations. Working with an alliance of independent firms lets you leverage true industry expertise without sacrificing versatility.
Make informed decisions based on reliable market intelligence.
Our partners aren’t the only ones who benefit from the information sharing across our alliance. This also enables our advisors to provide a wide range of knowledge to the business leaders they work with, so you can be confident your talent decisions are based on accurate, current data, trends and insights.
Why companies choose Lense & Lumen
We have worked with Dr. Maier + Partner / Lense & Lumen in the context of executive search assignments and valued the collaboration very much. The team combines a deep understanding of our business with a structured, professional approach and a high level of commitment throughout the entire search process. Communication was transparent, efficient and always at eye level.
We particularly appreciated the strong international perspective and the ability to identify candidates who fit not only the role requirements but also our corporate culture. We would gladly work with Lense & Lumen again and can highly recommend them as a trusted executive search partner.
“Lock was extremely helpful, flexible, and accommodating as we conducted a complicated search. Our consultant was very helpful in guiding us through the process.”
Working with Hansen Toft and their Swedish partner Stardust Search proved to be an excellent collaboration from start to finish. Christine Martin demonstrated professionalism throughout and quickly developed a strong understanding of our needs.
We were presented with a shortlist of high-quality candidates, which made the decision process efficient and reassuring. After more than a year in the role, the person we hired continues to perform at a very high level.
Stardust Search brought deep insight into the Swedish candidate market and advised us on local labor conditions and employment-related aspects in Sweden, ensuring we felt well-informed at every stage. If the opportunity arises, we would have no hesitation in working with a Lense & Lumen partner in another country again.
