Making Behavior Visible
THE RISK IS NOT IN THE SEARCH.
IT'S IN THE DECISION.
People are hired for competence and fired for behavior.
We combine Strategic Executive Search with Human Due Diligence.
Measurable. Reliable. Conclusive.
THE PROBLEM
What actually determines the success of a hire?
For most providers, the mandate ends with a signature. What happens afterwards remains your risk:
Strategic latency: Decisions get delayed or diluted.
Performance leaks: High performers leave because leadership doesn't hold up.
Opportunity costs: Deals fall apart and development is stagnating because decision-making fails in daily business or under pressure.
We call these costs CWI - Cost of Wrong Interaction.
Classic Executive Search doesn't see them, because it isn't looking for them. That's why we assess, before you sign, what others only discover after the resignation letter .
WHY US
Why trust the AM Academy Group?
Speed is Security: Strategic vacancies and uncertain successions paralyze companies. We do not tie you into months-long processes. We deliver reliable results and a clear recommendation in 48 hours through the unique combination of Strategic Executive Search and Human Due Diligence.
Candidate Abundance, Decision Scarcity: You already have access to casndidates. What's missing is a reliable system that separates convincing self-presentationfrom actual contextual fit. We provide a precise prognosis of true effectiveness in you specific context.
Skin in the Game: 10% of our fee is tied to the uninterrupted retention of the placed candidate after 12 months. If your decision doesn't hold, we carry that risk with you.
Covered even after placement: Should a person we evaluated or placed leave within the agreed period, we take on the risk assessment of a successor candidate at no additional fee.
Business context, not laboratory conditions: We don't assess behavior in a vacuum. We understand the political and economic dynamics your people have to navigate in – from scale-ups to owner-managed Mittelstand to publicy listed corporations.
You don't just receive candidate profiles - you receive a validated probability that the decision will hold.
Role definition, structured market mapping, behavioral vaildation of every finalist, and a fee model where we're only paid in full once the decision has proven itself in day-to-day business.
Our engagement model is built for the long term and designed to deliver clear added value to our clients. Anything else would compromise the principles of integrity, objectivity, and the standard we hold ourselves to.

METHODOLOGY
Precision, not Hope:
Why BPFS?
Résumé, competency interview, gut feeling: The three variables most hiring decisions rely on. Yet they say little about how someone actually performs, day to day and under real pressure.
With our BPFS-Methodology, we look behind the facade of self-presentation. We don't analyze the narrated (Narrative), but the actual (oprative logic). We deliver a precise prognosis of effectiveness - indipendent of industry or company size, but shaped by your goals, your specific organization, and the broader economic environment.
The Behavioral Predictive Fitting Score (BPFS) was developed from typological models in depth psychology (including Jung) and refined through over 400 mandates and 15 years of Executive Search experience.
The result: you know before you sign what others only find out twelve months later.
