TWO DECADES OF DRILL: Turning potential into results
Twenty years in business means experiencing 3–4 complete economic cycles. In the capital market, you can increase an original investment from thousands to millions over that time. That is, if you know what to invest in and are not afraid to take healthy risks. Generationally, it is the time it takes for a graduate to become an experienced manager…
And for exactly that many years, DRILL has been helping high-quality managers, experts, and companies find the right path to one another. On October 13, 2025, we will celebrate our company’s 20th anniversary – two decades during which we have grown from a startup recruitment agency into a comprehensive international partner for HR services.
THE REVOLUTION WE HAVE EXPERIENCED
Twenty years ago, we sent CVs by fax. Today, artificial intelligence helps us find and select talent. Technology has changed radically, but one thing remains constant: human talent, intuition, and experience play the most important role. An algorithm will find you a candidate based on keywords, but only a human can recognize if they have the right energy and will fit into the team. Over those 20 years, we have learned to recognize true potential and know how to turn it into concrete results. We have guided many juniors along their career paths all the way to management positions.
The numbers speak clearly for us:
- 664 active customers
- an average of 208 candidates placed annually in key positions
- over 321,000 candidates in our database
- 19 countries where we regularly assist our clients
As Václav Kadeřábek, founder and managing partner of DRILL, says:
“We are celebrating 20 years of successes and losses, but at the same time, it is a commitment for the years to come. We are proud that after two decades of continuous development and a professional approach, we are helping a wide range of clients. In the future, we will continue to adhere to our philosophy, result orientation, and comprehensive services.”
AN APPROACH PROVEN BY THE TEST OF TIME
Twenty years in business is not just a number; it is proof that our approach works. And that comprehensive services ranging from Executive Search, Recruitment, and Market Mapping to Outplacement only make sense when backed by experience and real results.
We thank all the clients and candidates who have trusted us over these years, and all our current and former colleagues who have contributed to our success. And we look forward to further decades of mutual growth.
DRILL – turning potential into real results. For 20 years now.
