About Us
EMEA Recruitment GmbH was founded in 2007 by Husband and Wife Paul and Kelly Toms.
Having worked within International recruitment for over 18 combined years, our aim was to build a recruitment company that offered something different to existing recruitment businesses - giving clients and candidates a genuine reason to use EMEA Recruitment ahead of the competition.
Ultimately, we believe that a client wants a recruitment company to act as a strategic recruitment partner - to have an honest, open relationship and to present candidate shortlists that save time, money and effort when looking to make appointments.
In addition and perhaps most importantly, the client wants the strongest and most relevant individual possible to join their business.
With this in mind, our mission statement is to represent the best Finance & Accountancy talent in the marketplace.
This is achieved by networking, headhunting and proactively sourcing all of our candidates – being personally recommended.
In order to achieve this, we have built a reputation as a long-term career advisor to candidates we work with and represent in the market accordingly.
This Search & Selection approach is known to bring the best service to clients and candidates.
As this Search & Selection approach in itself is not unique, we devised a business model that would combine the cost model and efficiency of contingency recruitment, with the quality and professionalism associated with a Search & Selection strategy.
This model ultimately brings strong, relevant and focused candidates to our client's shortlists, in a time efficient manner.
Our specialism is Finance & Accountancy recruitment at middle Management to Executive level, across Austria, Switzerland, The Netherlands and the EMEA region.
We have a centralised office structure, with office hubs in Austria (Vienna), Switzerland (Zug & Lausanne) and the Netherlands (Amsterdam). This encourages networking internally and ensures that our consultants can offer knowledgeable advice on the market as a whole.
The majority of individuals in our network are based within Switzerland and the EMEA region, however, we also have strong connections globally. This allows EMEA Recruitment Limited to present individuals in our shortlists who are looking to relocate, to complement the talent in the local Swiss/Austrian and EMEA markets.
Our centralised office adds to the efficiency and effectiveness in this approach.
In summary, the business model for EMEA Recruitment is to present ourselves more than simply a recruitment company. We are a strategic recruitment partner to clients and candidates alike.
Our highly ambitious growth plans can be seen in some of our recent appointments..
Paul Macildowie (ACA) joined us as our Non-Executive Director in 2009. Paul has a track record of success in the financial recruitment industry and has demonstrable business acumen. He assists us in shaping the strategic direction of EMEA Recruitment. Paul was founder and owner of Macildowie Associates, a financial recruitment company which he founded and later sold in a multi-million pound deal after 15 years.
In 2011, EMEA Recruitment appointed a Swiss Director, Brad Daniel (ACA). Brad will assist with the commercial development of EMEA Recruitment GmbH in Switzerland and has been instrumental in assisting with the opening of the new Zug office for EMEA.
In November 2011, we expanded our business to open an office at the Vienna Stock Exchange with the appointment of a Senior Consultant to manage this development in Austria. With the cross over between the Swiss, Austrian and Dutch markets, we are are to offer a broader service to our established network, whilst also expanding the EMEA Recruitment personally recommended recruitment approach.
