The brief

A 6,500-employee industrial group across seven CEE countries is replacing a long-tenured CHRO. Confidential search — the incumbent is in place. Board-level dream job opportunity with a labour-relations dimension that cannot be delegated.

What you will own

  • Own the people agenda for 6,500 employees across seven countries
  • Lead the works-council and union relationship in three markets
  • Deliver the workforce plan behind a two-plant consolidation
  • Sit on the regional executive committee, reporting to the Group CEO

What we are screening for

  • CHRO or deputy at 3,000+ FTE scale, ideally industrial or manufacturing
  • European labour relations depth — works councils, collective agreements
  • Restructuring or consolidation experience handled without reputational damage
  • Fluent English; a CEE language strongly preferred

The process

Consultant review within one business day, then a 45-minute conversation with Kamen, then client interviews. Nothing reaches the client without your written approval, and every declined candidate receives written feedback.
