Rethinking Executive Search

We're not looking for classic recruiters. We're looking for personalities who bring the hunger to do Executive Search fundamentally differently.

At 2P, that means real mandate responsibility, direct client contact, and the opportunity to shape a boutique with the ambition to leave a lasting mark on leading organisations across DACH.
Mandates with the leading PE funds and market leaders across DACH
Direct collaboration with senior decision-makers and top talent in our focus sectors
A culture built on trust and openness. Flat hierarchies, no glass ceilings.
Compensation in the top quintile of the industry. With real upside, uncapped.
A dynamic environment in a boutique with the ambition and momentum to become the reference in DACH Executive Search.
Our Promise

Integrity and discretion are the foundation of every relationship we build. We treat every mandate with the highest confidentiality, respect all parties throughout the process, and never compromise on transparency and ethical practice.
