S1 Ep12: #EN: Headhunter and Consultant, Jarda Němec & Egon Zehnder: How a lazy student becomes one of the most successful professionals

“Can I see how you do it?” He asked. Then he became one of them. Jarda Němec, a headhunter and a consultant for Egon Zehnder. An ordinary boy from Litvínov; a hockey player, of course. And a scientist. At least based on his PhD diploma. He started his career as a manager at PwC. Being around 30 years old he was one of the oldest.  Then he moved to work for O2.  Then came a long journey at Microsoft. As a Finance Lead in CEE HQ he was responsible for more than 25 countries with over 1B$ revenue, coordinating activities among Microsoft subsidiaries and HQ in Redmond. And, finally, he bid his faraway to Microsoft and joined Egon Zehnder and a totally different industry - headhunting. “You are not a typical CFO, you are only wasting your time,” they used to say.  And they were right. Listen the story about headhunting a headhunter! LISTEN AND FIND OUT: • What should you do to become the headhunted? • How a lazy student becomes one of the most successful professionals. • What was Jarda’s best decision of his life. • Why he considers any interviews to be more like a conversation between two people; rather than a hiring process. • Why he did not headhunt anybody for the Czech government. Yet. Enjoy!!!
