The consumer goods sector is particularly affected by the ongoing globalisation of sales and distribution markets. Factors such as international mergers, streamlining of product portfolios, increasingly virtual corporate structures, shortened product life cycles and growing pressure from capital markets all shape the environment in which companies operate.
The result is global competition for top talent – the much‑cited “war for talent”. Only those who master this challenge can succeed in such a complex and fast‑moving business sector.
It is not only large multinational corporations that are impacted by these developments – small and medium‑sized enterprises (SMEs) are equally affected. WILHELM is well acquainted with the structures and dynamics of SMEs and understands the key success factors in the search and selection of qualified specialists and executives.
