International Network
How can we do it? One of the dirty little secrets of talent sourcing for cross-border markets is that many traditional executive search firms have specialized only in one such niche, like German-American, French-American, Chinese-American or American-Arab industries.

Quite often, there is not enough to go around for several “headhunters” in just one such market. The result: companies may pay steep search fees, only to watch the hired candidate being lured away by the same  executive search “key player” just two years - or even less - later, to another company.

Our network of recruiters does not serve just one of these niche markets. Specialized Recruitment International is under no pressure to keep such a “candidate carousel” going, just to survive. We are guided by the best interest of the companies that use our services, give us repeat business and spread the word.

Guarantee
We even guarantee not to approach a candidate we have placed with your company while that candidate is with your company, unless that candidate approaches us.

When you are shopping for recruiters in this niche, ask them for references. But also ask them if they can make that promise - in writing!

We have successfully completed assignments in the fields of automotive / aviation, customer service, engineering, finance / compliance, logistics, IT / software, manufacturing, law, renewable / solar / wind energy, SAP / ERP and quality assurance.
