# IMAGE_PROMPT: Executive Search

**Last Updated:** 2026-03-03

## Core Concept / Metaphor

Executive Search = Dienstleistung zur Besetzung von Führungskräften (C-Level, 1./2. Ebene); Direktsuche, verdeckter Arbeitsmarkt. Scene: Executive meeting, boardroom, leadership context – conveys top-level recruitment, strategic hiring, not recruiter screening. Distinct from Headhunter (SILHOUETTES – person in conversation) and Recruiting (DESK – recruiter with CVs).

## Scene Type

**DESK** – Executive meeting or boardroom setting. Leadership context: conference table, executive chairs, professional setting. Distinct from: headhunter (SILHOUETTES), recruiting (DESK but recruiter screening CVs), personalbeschaffung (CAFE), cost-per-hire (ABSTRACT). Executive Search evokes C-Level hiring, strategic placement – boardroom/conference conveys leadership level.

## Key Elements (On-Theme)

- Boardroom or executive meeting room – conference table, professional chairs
- Soft natural or warm office light
- Leadership context – conveys top-level hiring, strategic placement
- No recruiter screening CVs – this is executive/boardroom, not recruiter desk
- Conveys Executive Search: C-Level, Direktsuche, Führungskräftesuche

## Why Not (Anti-Patterns)

- SILHOUETTES (headhunter – consultant meeting, networking)
- CAFE interior (personalbeschaffung, candidate-experience)
- Recruiter at desk with CVs (recruiting)
- ABSTRACT nodes or flowing lines
- Generic handshakes, blue sphere, two-person interview

## Composition / Camera

Wide shot or diagonal, shallow depth of field. Boardroom or executive meeting room – empty or with soft silhouettes at table. Professional, strategic, leadership level.

## Mood / Atmosphere

Professional, strategic, leadership – "Executive Search: C-Level placement, boardroom context"

## Prompt

Conveys Executive Search: C-Level hiring, Direktsuche, strategic placement. Muted blues and grays with warm accent. Shallow depth of field.
