We recruit Senior Managers for mostly North American and European companies where the goal is to increase local market share or to increase the efficiency of the foreign business unit. Often the best solution is to recruit Spanish-English bilingual or multilingual managers who have strong track records of success in the markets of Venezuela, or in the Latin American region as a whole.

 

While we try to focus on local candidates whenever available, we also recruit foreign managers, often fluent Spanish speakers coming from the United States, other Latin American countries, Spain, or Europe, who have strong track records of management in Venezuela.

 

Our emphasis is to find managers who perform well in accordance with the business ethics and business style of the foreign company. The objective is to find a leader whom the foreign company can trust to run their business, while effectively reaching local customers, suppliers, and employees in a way that they will find comforting.

 

Whenever possible, we seek candidates who have worked at their best in similar roles at foreign firms, often at our client's direct competitors or near-competitors. Familiarity with the target industry or market sector usually means faster success and greater organizational effectiveness.

 

We take particular care to try to find people who are accustomed to working in a business model that resembles that of the client company. A person who works well at a top Venezuela enterprise, or even at a large multinational firm, for example, might not be the right person as employee #1 at a medium-sized foreign firm's greenfield business unit in Venezuela.

 

Searches might be at the Latin America regional level, South America regional level, or Venezuela national level.

 

We have a strong interest in managerial candidates from all industries who are multilingual, with strong skills in Spanish, English and Portuguese. Such candidates could be particularly considered for regional Latin America managerial roles.
