Welcome to Cornerstone EMEA!

EMEA is a jigsaw puzzle of varying and often divergent views and outlooks.

There are 44 — 51 countries in Europe; the exact count varies according to various standards of nationhood applied by different agencies.     The European Union (EU) is made up of 27 countries. These countries vary in economic status/outlook, corporate structures, salary levels, client expectations, etc. This complex picture is probably more intricate than ever, given the ramifications of the ongoing war in Ukraine.

Cornerstone’s EMEA region is now comprised of more than 25 locally owned search firms that help clients fill key positions wherever they have a need. Whether supporting clients in their own local area, working with other members in the region, or networking globally with other Cornerstone members, Cornerstone firms provide their clients the highest level of service. For more than 30 years we have had a strong presence in the Executive Search industry, leading searches for companies across a variety of industries, functions, and locations.

We know every search requires a dedicated team that understands the needs and goals of each client. Our success is proven by the many clients who repeatedly return to us for their recruiting requirements. Why? Because we provide best-fit candidates that positively impact their organizations for years.

As part of the Association of Executive Search and Leadership Consultants (AESC), we hold ourselves to the highest quality standards.  We search both locally and around the globe to deliver leaders of the highest caliber to our clients.

In addition to providing top-notch talent to our clients, we also offer Leadership Development and Executive Coaching services. We believe organizations need outstanding resources to retain and develop great talent, and we make these resources available to our clients.   These include Executive Coaching, Assessments and Board & CEO Advisory Consulting.
