More about Executive SearchWhen experienced professionals are needed immediately.
Whether facing vacancies, growth, transformation or unexpected challenges, we quickly find experienced interim managers for a wide range of business functions - across Europe.
More about Interim ManagementWhen recruiting needs additional capacity, has to be built from scratch or requires targeted optimisation.
We take over your entire recruiting function or defined parts of it, working as an integrated part of your organisation. When capacity is limited, we step in. When structures are missing, we build them. When processes no longer meet your needs, we improve them and use AI selectively to optimise them.

We help companies manage executive departures responsibly and respectfully. The company funds Inverse Headhunting, Executive Career Coaching or Executive Branding & Communication for the departing executive, drawing on more than 25 years of Executive Search experience and 10+ years of Executive Career Coaching.
More about Executive Outplacement
NAKAMA works with both companies and executives. We check for potential conflicts of interest before accepting an engagement. Company and executive engagements are kept organisationally separate and treated confidentially. Information and contacts are never used across engagements. For the same placement, we never charge both the company and the executive a fee. See also Inverse Headhunting.
