International Search

Building across markets?
We've done this before.

The first hires in a new market carry unusual weight. They aren't simply joining a team — they're helping establish the business, build local credibility and translate a company's strengths into a new market.

Neach has spent more than a decade helping international companies build and scale in the United States, while also supporting US companies expanding into DACH and the UK, and companies building critical teams within Europe.

From first commercial leaders and local executives to functional leadership and larger team build-outs, we've worked on both sides of the Atlantic.

How we work

A focused search, from brief to close.

Modern research and AI-assisted workflows add depth and speed to a senior-led process. Direct conversations, market evidence and senior judgment guide every recommendation.

01

Define the outcome

Start with what the business needs the hire to change in the next six months, not a generic job description.

02

Map the market

Translate the mandate into a focused search strategy across the companies, markets, and adjacent talent pools most likely to produce the right leader.

03

Engage and assess

Approach candidates directly, test experience, motivation, and fit, and keep the shortlist deliberate.

04

Guide the close

Stay close through interviews, feedback, and offer so both sides can make a clear decision.

Trust

Trusted when the search can't be public.

Many of Neach's senior leadership searches are conducted confidentially, often before a role, replacement or expansion is known to the market.

Those searches demand discretion, targeted outreach and the trust to represent both the company and the opportunity properly.

Some of our most consequential work will never appear on a client list.

About Neach

Search should feel personal.
Because it is.

Neach was founded in 2014 by Udo Nietsch after more than a decade building teams and recruitment organizations across international markets.

Today, Neach is senior-led by design. Clients work directly with the people conducting the search, from calibrating the mandate and mapping the market through outreach, assessment and closing.

That model has taken Neach from early-stage companies building their first US teams to global organizations making critical leadership hires, and often from one search to the next.

Client Relationships

Relationships that outlast the search.

Neach first met Regev Yativ as a candidate, before his time at Redis. We stayed in touch. He later became a client at Redis, continued working with Neach at Agora, and again at Incredibuild.

Three companies. Multiple searches. One relationship built over years.

Client Perspective

As Redis grew, we needed a search partner who could keep pace with an increasingly urgent hiring need. Neach brought the character, integrity and experience we were looking for.
