High Touch offers executive search services from field-to-fork for companies in the agrifood sector seeking senior management, board-level candidates, and specialists. To achieve this, we have one clear mission: to find the ideal candidate who will make a company better, more humane, and led by driven leaders who inspire their employees. We do this with complete dedication, from searching and selecting the most suitable candidates for a specific position, to ongoing support throughout the hiring process. And our commitment never stops. That’s the “Touch” in High Touch, we go the extra mile to surprise and exceed expectations. It’s what makes us happy, both as professionals and as human beings. That’s the “High” in High Touch.
Face-to-Face contact
The more advanced technology becomes, the greater the need for an empathetic approach, one that emphasizes face-to-face contact and real connection. At High Touch, we understand this better than anyone and recognize the importance of balancing physical presence with the digital world. We focus on developing genuine interpersonal connections, not rigid processes. We cultivate deep human connections in a relaxed, informal way.
Interpersonal contacts
We truly take the time to build these connections, for example, through meaningful conversations where ambitions, expectations, and ideals are discussed. We prefer to do this over lunch or dinner, as it makes every encounter with High Touch personal, reciprocal, and memorable. We ensure consistency and predictability, but always with a focus on the holistic view on a “greater good” beyond what a process alone can offer. After all, without deep relationships, we can’t be the “top-of-heart” company we strive to be.
Faster and Better
The business value of our personal approach is that we truly get to know people. We understand more deeply what a candidate really wants and what fits them best. For our clients, this means we are much better at identifying the candidate who is the perfect fit for their organization. As a result, we can deliver candidates faster and with greater precision. This, in turn, leads to happier people and more successful companies.
We know this world like the back of our hand.
At High Touch, you will always have direct contact with a professional senior network partner who has earned their stripes in agriculture, food, and FMCG. They know the key players in agrifood companies and understand their specific motivations. Our network partners are experienced, commercially savvy, independent, and decisive, working with passion and dedication for our clients. They were raised with the same values, are the soul of our boutique office, and have an in-depth understanding of what’s happening in agriculture, food, and FMCG.
When shall we meet?
At High Touch, we all speak the “agrifood language,” which makes communication much easier between people. Our working method is effective and unique and has been highly appreciated for many years.
Let’s meet!
