VP Executive Search is an independent player in the recruitment and selection of talented professionals and managers. It was created on the initiative of a management team with decades of experience at leading international groups and local consulting companies.
The business is controlled by its managers and this allows the company to ensure a unique and high quality service compared to traditional Executive Search networks on the market.
VP is a flexible and dynamic player able to guide companies and managers throughout the Executive Search process. We can leverage an expanded network of expertise needed to understand and solve the problems of companies and managers who consult us.
We focus on the speed of our services and the overall satisfaction of companies and managers as constant requirements in our daily work.
Relationships with our clients are built to be long-term: our services cannot be limited to a specific recruitment process, VP Executive Search is focused in providing ongoing expert advice, direction and professional opportunities, through an increasingly in-depth understanding of the needs of clients and companies.
The VP Executive Search team has several decades of experience in consulting and executive search. We believe, however, that experience alone is not enough to understand and meet the complex and dynamic needs of our clients (managers and companies) who are involved in the search process. Similarly, method along cannot ensure the successful recruitment of a manager if the team managing the process does not have sufficient seniority and expertise.
We believe our team has the best expertise and work method credentials on the executive search market.
