Esa Consulting

ESA Consulting UG is an executive search firm and HR consultancy that works under the line people are at the heart of our business, and is led by managing director James Hazel. On the search side its stated strength is screening the candidate pool in record time by assigning several researchers to identify potential talent. On the consultancy side it designs transformation programmes, including individual and volume assessments, leadership reviews, engagement work, coaching, attrition reduction and HR cost reduction. Delivery follows four steps: research, which it calls its core business and describes as classical, structured and discreet identification, cross industrial, nationwide and at all levels; direct approach, where suitable candidates are contacted discreetly after a comprehensive briefing and a list of target companies has been agreed; profiling, analysing role requirements, candidate qualifications, potential and personality; and competitive intelligence. The firm cites 22 years of experience, one placement a day and one new consultancy programme a week.

Healthcare and medical services is a key pillar of the firm's daily work. Over the years it has built a deeply rooted network and connections within hospitals, clinics and care facilities, and it places qualified professionals across the entire healthcare spectrum, from medical doctors through to specialised nursing and healthcare staff. Beyond that its search practice covers all industrial fields, and it is also an expert in research, market and competitive intelligence, supporting due diligence and internal data analysis for clients seeking to strengthen their competitiveness.
