The decisive
hire.
Has to land.
Executive Search for SaaS, AI & Tech.
Focus: Sales, AI Solutions & customer-facing roles.
You're building a team. Or you're facing a hire that decides the next step of your company.
And you're clear: this isn't a trial. This has to work.
I work with founders, CEOs and CROs who don't have time for detours.
I'm Astrid Döhmann — and I find the people who genuinely fit.
Most hires fail
not on the CV.
- Unclear roleThe role isn't cleanly defined — and nobody notices until onboarding.
- Wrong market readThe market is misjudged — salary, availability, competition.
- Good appearance, no fitCandidates "look great" — but don't actually fit the role or culture.
- Too slow, too arbitraryProcesses drag — and at the end the momentum is gone.
I don't start
with profiles.
I start with
clarity.
What's actually needed? Not just the title — the real requirement behind the role.
Which role makes sense in your situation? Sometimes the answer isn't what you expected.
Who does it take — professionally and personally? Only then does the search begin.

Startups, scale-ups and international tech companies.
I don't work with volume.
Only a few targeted mandates at a time.
Listings.
Database.
Lucky shots.
The best candidates are not actively looking. You have to know them or go find them. Both are my job.
How I work.
A clear process is the foundation of trust — and of good outcomes.

Sparring
I walk you through decisions — even when they're not clear-cut.
„Astrid understands not just the market, but what a company actually needs. No wasted time, no wrong profiles — precise placements.“
I work with a limited number
of mandates at a time.
A conversation makes sense if:
No form needed for first contact — a short call is enough.
Book a first call →15 minutes.
Enough.
15 minutes are enough to find out if and how I can help. No obligation. No sales pitch.
