Crown Gillmore

Crown Gillmore has delivered executive search, interim management and coaching for de zorg and het publieke domein since 1998. The company searches on behalf of its clients for driven people with authentic, entrepreneurial leadership qualities, and it names its own great strength as involvement and personal attention, whether in the relationship it holds with a client or in the search for the right candidate for that organisation. Conversations with candidates are always conducted by two experienced consultants, because the company values differing perspectives and finds that interaction with candidates produces greater depth of insight.

Its client base spans every sector within maatschappelijk werk, welzijn en zorg, including hospitals, verzorgings and verpleeghuizen, rehabilitation, thuiszorg, and institutions working in jeugdzorg, gehandicaptenzorg, psychiatry and ggz. Alongside these it serves the public domain, covering education, government bodies and municipalities. A current assignment illustrates the seniority of the work: NEOS is seeking a directeur bestuurder who can give steady, clear direction in a complex and changing social context, and who will position the organisation strategically in the Eindhoven region. Beyond search, Crown Gillmore supports organisations through structural change, using one to one conversations and where appropriate assessments to give a professional appraisal of a team or an individual.

Crown Gillmore works from Geeresteinselaan 79 in Woudenberg. Clients choose the company for a foundation it describes as active, direct and above all personal. Education and work experience are treated as basic criteria only; what the firm looks for is authentic leadership and real people who can make a difference within a client organisation. It works from the premise that every organisation has its own culture, dynamic and internal and external developments, and that this context determines which people fit. Its partners bring that perspective directly, including Gretha van der West, an experienced interim manager, executive search consultant and adviser with over 25 years in healthcare, and Ruud van den Nieuwenhof, who has led HR related businesses in both professional services and care.
