Dober

Dober Partners is a specialist executive search firm dedicated to recruiting senior talent in communication, public affairs and association leadership across Europe. The company differentiates itself through its team of former public affairs practitioners who possess genuine understanding of the challenges facing clients in similar roles. With a 100% success rate, Dober Partners entered the executive search industry after witnessing numerous unsuccessful placements made by leading global search firms despite their extensive networks and assessment capabilities. The company's competitive advantage lies in their deep knowledge of candidates and their professional networks, enabling faster and more effective hiring outcomes than traditional competitors.

Dober Partners maintains particular expertise in communication roles, public affairs positions, and association leadership recruitment. The company also provides consultancy services, including research and strategic advice tailored to European associations. Their research capabilities focus on understanding industry reputation dynamics, helping association communicators identify key issues that define and drive overall industry reputation with key audiences. This consultancy offering complements their core executive search services, providing clients with comprehensive talent and advisory solutions.

Operating from offices in Brussels, Geneva and Rome, Dober Partners serves clients across Europe and globally. The company's independent structure, without expensive headquarters overhead, costly networks or external shareholders, enables them to offer superior fee structures compared to larger competitors in the executive search industry. This operational model allows Dober Partners to deliver better value whilst maintaining the specialised expertise and European capital networks that distinguish them in the market.
