Non-Executive Search

Governance with vision and impact

Effective governance requires experience, diverse perspectives, and forward-thinking leadership. We identify non-executive board members who operate independently, think strategically, and strengthen the board. The result: a new style of governance — critical, connecting, diverse, and future oriented.

Testimonials

Impactful matches,
in the words of our clients and candidates

At both the Nederlandse Bachvereniging and Paleis Het Loo, I worked to make the boards more diverse. I was impressed by the highly qualified candidates who could complement the sitting members. Thanks to crmLINK's excellent pre-selection and professional guidance, two members could be appointed to both Boards simultaneously, contributing to the proper functioning of these boards.

I look back with great appreciation on the expert and personal guidance that crmLINK offered during my application process for the position of commissioner at Woonstad Rotterdam. Their ability to really immerse themselves in who I am and in the needs of the client, ensured a perfect match. Their involvement and customization made the difference: I felt seen, challenged and optimally prepared for every step in the process.

I found the personal and expert guidance of the crmLINK team to be excellent. Personal because of the way in which I was taken along as a candidate through the entire recruitment procedure at iHub. Expert because crmLINK is at home in board dynamics!

The supervisory board of Landzijde was impressed with the shortlist for a new member. What a diversity in background, age and expertise. Thanks to crmLINK's professionalism, the selection process went smoothly. We were really taken care of.

Composing a supervisory board requires care. crmLINK does this in an exemplary manner. I experienced this myself when I was a candidate in the procedure to recruit a member of the supervisory board of museum Paleis Het Loo, and that's saying something with my more than 30 years of supervisory experience! The guidance of me as a candidate was attentive and personal, and the application process transparent and insightful.

The team of crmLINK provided me with a very transparent appointment experience as a candidate-board member at Stichting Landzijde. From selection to preparation for the interviews to folluw-up after placement: I can only look back on this with great satisfaction. I have been involved in the recruitment sector for a long time and know where things can go wrong. crmLINK distinguishes itself positively by really doing what is promised.
