case study

I have been cooperating with recruiters flow-r executive search for many years and I thank them for a lot of excellent colleagues and interesting meetings. One of the things I appreciate is their effort to understand not only the position they are looking for, but also the profile of the candidate they are looking for from the perspective of the team they will join. After years of cooperation, it is easier, they know my expectations. I always get candidates to choose from who meet not only professional but also human requirements. Recently, they have also been looking for colleagues abroad for our branches and again successfully.

I have been working with flow-r executive search over the past two years on several strategic and top management recruitments for the FORVIA group. What I appreciate most about their work is their personal approach, reliability, and ability to understand the context and specific needs of both the role and the team. Throughout our cooperation, they have proven strong results-orientation, thoroughness in market search, and the determination to bring even more complex projects to a successful close. I consider this a high-quality, valuable experience, and I gladly recommend the flow-r team to other companies looking for a partner for demanding recruitment mandates.

We partnered with flow-r executive search to appoint a CFO for our company. Our prior internal search had taken far too much time with inadequate results. Based on a recommendation, we reached out to flow-r executive search and very quickly agreed on terms of cooperation. Pavel and Adam identified and recommended very strong candidates, guided us through a complex group approval process, and successfully brought the selected candidate on board. Many thanks for the partnership, and we will gladly work with you again in the future.

I have known Pavel Plachý from flow-r executive search for years, and I am glad to work with flow-r. In recent years, we successfully appointed a Head of IT and a Manufacturing Manager—both projects were critical for our long-term operations. The team at flow-r always delivered exceptional work in a challenging market and brought us the best-suited candidates. Thank you for the partnership, and I gladly recommend them for your projects as well.

With flow-r, we successfully appointed the VP of Production for our bridge division. A key role not only for the division, but for the entire group. Despite a challenging market, the team at flow-r executive search delivered a comprehensive market search, we met outstanding candidates, and selected the best one. All within the timeline set right from the start. Many thanks for the partnership, and I gladly recommend them further.

We worked with flow-r executive search on many projects and we were always very satisfied with the speed, systematic work, quality of the selection process and recommended candidates. Pavel and Zuzka are professionals with excellent knowledge of the market and the psychology of candidates, so their services and advice have great added value in the entire cooperation. I also appreciate their extraordinary flexibility and personal approach.

We have had experience with flow-r executive search for some time now. We primarily cooperate with Pavel Plachý. As a group of several companies, we need a service that the supplier is able to supply for various entities and their needs. Flow-r is doing well. Cooperation with them is always on a very professional level, I really appreciate their pro-active approach and openness. Paul maintains regular contact with us and knows what is happening with us. This makes starting each new order easy. Thanks for all.

Pavel Plachý from flow-r executive search revived my original ideas and expectations of what a headhunter should look like and work with. Obviously I needed time and a little luck to finally meet Pavel to see what pure work "with people" looks like. Really formulate your strengths and weaknesses correctly, but most importantly see the added value in what you enjoy and fulfill. Personally, however, I was thrilled to see and be able to realize the needs of the company several months and years in advance, and accordingly he was able to identify a suitable candidate and skills that will be needed much later. It is unbelievable that even today, someone is able to put all this into a good personal story, regardless of the field in which you operate and whose main center is you - whether as a candidate or you as a client.

In the flow-r executive search, we found a reliable and long-term partner not only for the Czech market.

I would like to thank flow-r executive search and specifically headhunter Adam Červenka for their cooperation, which was very beneficial for us. Together we were able to fill a key position of a senior physician for one of our investment projects. The cooperation was at a very professional level. flow-r executive search will be our first choice for our next search for employees.

The market is flooded with agencies, but very few can offer truly genuine executive search—direct search for the key roles in your company. flow-r executive search delivers! Always with a smile, a positive attitude, seamless communication, and most importantly, with an outstanding result and strictly on time. Filling key positions with Pavel and Adam is a genuine pleasure. They are professionals who truly enjoy their work, and I wholeheartedly and gladly recommend working with them. I look forward to our next projects together, gentlemen. Thank you!

My first experience working with flow-r executive search was a truly pleasant surprise. The day after our initial evening contact, I already had an in-person meeting with Pavel, the company’s owner. The entire briefing was fast, clear, and straight to the point. What I appreciated most was that flow-r made a genuine effort to understand the full business case—not just who we were looking for and the expectations of the hiring manager (CFO), but also the role’s context within the broader company, our culture, and our way of working. Kája, who led the project itself, did an outstanding job. The entire process moved incredibly fast; despite the upcoming holidays, we had a completed shortlist and kicked off first-round interviews before Christmas—all within just two weeks. Right at the start of the new year, the CEO met the final two candidates. The selection process ran smoothly, the candidate caliber was exceptional, and we even considered them for other roles outside this search. If you are looking for a partner for Group or C-level positions who operates quickly, efficiently, and truly understands business needs—while delivering a great candidate experience—I wholeheartedly recommend flow-r!

I would describe my experience with flow-r executive search as a professional approach, fast and constructive negotiations and, of course, successful projects. I see flow-r as a long-term partner and I will be happy to cooperate in the future.

I worked with flow-r on a project that was of paramount importance to our company, Electro World. Throughout the collaboration, Zuzka responded promptly, professionally, and, above all, with a genuine human touch—a significant added value when it comes to recruitment. Her communication skills and professional expertise gave us complete confidence that the process would reach a successful conclusion. I wish Zuzka and the entire flow-r team continued success and satisfied clients on both sides.
