Fundamentally. LinkedIn Economic Graph: executive roles (VP, Director, C-Level) are filled 70–80% via network and headhunters, not via job portals. The CV focuses on company impact and P&L responsibility, not on operational details. An executive summary (3–5 lines at the top) is mandatory. Interview partners are board members, CEOs, external advisors — preparation must go deeper. Destatis and Cedefop: executives are the group least affected by the skills shortage — the market is tighter and more selective. WEF: leadership competency combined with digital competency and change management is most strongly in demand. Processes take 3–6 months instead of 4–6 weeks.
