Ten service lines, one desk

Where we run permanent international searches.

Outside this list, ask. Our network reaches across hemispheres, and we will tell you straight whether the country combination is one we can actually deliver on.

Executive

International Executive Search

Director and C-suite searches across borders. Country managers, regional MDs, international VPs of sales, finance, operations and engineering - briefed once, run patiently.

Cross-border

Cross-Border Hiring

Hiring a candidate in one country to work for an employer headquartered in another. Employer-of-record routes, contractor-to-employee conversions, dual-jurisdiction placements.

Visa

Visa-Sponsored Roles

H-1B, L-1, O-1, EB, Skilled Worker, Tier 2 ICT, Global Talent and country-specific visa categories. Mapped against the role, the timeline, and the candidate pool that holds it.

Mapping

Multi-Country Talent Mapping

Full talent maps across two or more countries before you commit to a hiring location. Salary bands, candidate density, competitor benchmarking, market temperature.

Expat

Expat Placements

Senior leaders relocating with families. Schools, partner employment, cost-of-living differentials, tax-equalisation packages and repatriation timelines all accounted for.

Remote

Remote Global Hires

Distributed and remote-first hires across time zones. Engineers, product, design, customer success, operations leaders working asynchronously across continents.

Localised

Localised Recruitment

In-country hires for international employers entering a new market. We brief locally, source locally, and vet against the cultural realities of the target geography.

Senior

Senior International Leaders

VPs and SVPs with international remits, regional presidents, multi-country function heads. The hires that need a year of patience and three months of relationship-building.

Regional

Regional Heads-of

Regional heads of sales, operations, finance, marketing and people across EMEA, APAC, LATAM and North America. Country mix understood before brief is taken.

Mobility

Global Mobility Coordinators

The internal hires you need to run an international workforce well. Mobility managers, immigration coordinators, expat tax leads, international HR business partners.

How an international brief actually runs

The service line shapes part of the workflow, but most of it is the same. Whether the role is a country MD relocating from Frankfurt to São Paulo or an H-1B-sponsored senior engineer in San Francisco, we follow the same partnership-led process so nothing slips.

1. Country-pair brief

If it is a US-to-Canada cross-border move, we know which TN visa categories matter and which do not. If it is a UK-to-Australia senior hire, we know what the 482 sponsorship timeline really looks like. We will not waste your call asking the basics.

2. Salary calibration in target country

Every shortlist is calibrated against current in-country salary data plus what we are seeing live across the desk this month. Cost-of-living differentials, tax equalisation, mobility allowances and currency exposure all change the number. If the package looks under-priced, we tell you before we start.

3. Vetted, ranked shortlist

Three to five candidates per brief. Right-to-work in target country, qualifications recognised locally, references taken in candidate's working language and timezone. Each ranked against the brief with a short written note rather than just sent.

4. Mobilisation and arrival support

We coordinate the offer, the visa application, the relocation timeline, the start date and any pre-employment checks, and check in at week 2, 6 and 12 post-arrival. The first 12 weeks of an international hire matter more than the next twelve months.

Searches we deliberately do not run

Pure single-country domestic recruitment is generally better served by a national specialist. Healthcare clinical, legal partner search, and bulk-volume hiring all sit best with sector-specific firms. We will tell you within one call if a brief is not a fit so you can place it where it lands fastest.
