Top of Minds is the innovative, established player in the executive search industry. Headquartered in Amsterdam, they continue to grow fast with satellite offices across Europe, thanks to their unique, hybrid business model. The new Partner joins Top of Minds’ Partner Group to identify and develop new ventures, geographies, and, most importantly, solidify their position in the most senior executive segment.

About Top of Minds

Founded in 2008, Top of Minds has rapidly grown to become the market leader in The Netherlands in the executive search salary segment up to 500k. With their unique hybrid business approach, they’ve become very successful in placing top tier talent for their clients, from scale-ups, private equity firms and their portfolio companies, to major corporate clients. 

The key to client impact: Top of Minds’ unique hybrid business model
Top of Minds blends the qualities of an executive search firm with those of a marketing agency, and invests regularly in continuing to develop both segments. The agency has built a captive audience across online channels that are ready to activate their executive searches. These range from tens of thousands of online followers, as well as an extensive installed subscriber base to their newsletters. This marketing engine has been vital to more than one third of the filled search briefs in 2023. The Top of Minds consultants also leverage their networks to reach a wider audience of professionals who may not be actively looking for a new role but prove to be part of a critical talent pool.

With eighty percent of vacancies published online, Top of Minds’ high level of transparency distinguishes them in the executive search industry, and enables them to benefit from the full force of online media. Their resulting reach is distinctive in the executive search market, and consistently delivers client impact. They enjoy access to a larger pool of executive candidates with increased speed, quality, and diversity. Top of Minds has placed senior executives for nearly one thousand clients, and their successful business model is proven by their compound annual growth rate of twenty-six percent since being founded.

The next frontiers for Top of Minds
Top of Minds continues to grow its reach in new services and geographies. The company has expanded to Rotterdam, The Netherlands; Frankfurt, Germany; and Madrid, Spain. They’ve also started new ventures such as Chapter Data, its AI and Data Engineering consultancy. Top of Minds’ new goal is to prioritize ongoing expansion of its presence in strategic boardroom discussions about talent to keep expanding into the higher executive segment.

Vacancy: Partner

The Top of Minds Partner joins forces with seven current Partners to prepare Top of Minds to reach its full potential, while managing existing business and establishing their own client portfolio. They continue building trust and partnerships with clients to increasingly be part of boardroom conversations about talent and organization health. The Partner converts these conversations as a trusted advisor into concrete search mandates that strengthen Top of Minds’ presence in the higher executive segment. Based on their personal sector expertise, the Partner also builds their own practice and specialty and offers the agency’s digital capabilities to their clients. They work with the international team to grow Top of Minds’ established brand, promoting the successful hybrid model and uniquely transparent approach.

“It has taken us fifteen years to hone our current business model to perfection. By now, it has proven capable of revolutionizing the executive search industry toward transparency.” – Auke Bijnsdorp, Managing and Founding Partner of Top of Minds 

The Partner works mainly from the new state-of-the-art office in the heart of Amsterdam, together with seventy-five Consultants, Associates, Researchers, and other experts located across Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Frankfurt, and Madrid. The team has a strong sense of ownership and a keen understanding of the value that the right person in a role can bring to their clients. Transparency is as large part of the company culture as it is of Top of Minds’ client approach.

This is an exciting opportunity for an entrepreneurial leader from a strategy consultancy with experience in leading the organizational and client talent agenda. The Partner maintains a strong network of senior corporate leaders, who they act as a coach and thought partner. They strive to make an impact, see change as an opportunity, and have a keen business and commercial sense. Leading the Top of Minds team with the other Partners, the new Partner is an inspiring role model who will help the business realize its ambitious growth plans.
