Executive Search

Headhunter for valuable leaders

Executive Search tailored for the leadership of the future

The Executive Search is much more than just recruitment: it’s the art of identifying the right leaders to drive change.

At Professional RECRUITMENT, we specialize in selecting managers, executives, and top-level professionals who can truly make a difference. Our approach goes beyond résumés: we assess skills, vision, deep motivations, and cultural fit, because we believe that real business success comes from the meeting of talent and strategy.

Our sector expertise

Every industry has its own rules, key players, and complexities. In Executive Search, having in-depth knowledge of the specific context isn’t just a plus, it’s an essential condition for success.

That’s why our strength lies in our team: each of our consultants is specialized in their target industry, with a deep understanding of market dynamics, client needs, and the ideal profile for every role. Partnering with Professional RECRUITMENT means working with a partner who understands your business.

Over the years, we’ve built strong expertise in three highly complex areas.

Pharma & Healthcare

The Pharma & Healthcare sector is undergoing a radical transformation: new technologies, strict regulations, omnichannel approaches, and a growing focus on sustainability are reshaping roles and skillsets.

Finding executives who can combine strategic vision with technical and scientific expertise is a critical challenge. Thanks to their deep industry knowledge and a qualified network of professionals, our consultants are able to identify leaders who can drive innovation while ensuring regulatory compliance.

Tax & Legal

The legal and tax world has become a strategic arena, increasingly called upon to address complex demands: global compliance, risk management, regulatory sustainability, and digital transformation.

That’s why selecting top-level professionals in the Tax & Legal field requires not only advanced technical skills, but also a broad perspective, critical thinking, and change management capabilities. Our executive headhunters work daily with General Counsels, Heads of Legal, and Tax Directors.

Financial Services

In a landscape shaped by digitalization, regulatory changes, and margin pressure, financial institutions need leaders who can combine technical strength, innovation, and sound governance.

We recruit executives for banks, insurance companies, asset management firms (SGRs), and fintechs, with a focus on digital transformation, risk & compliance, wealth management, and asset allocation. Our consultants understand the market, its evolution, and the profiles best suited to lead through change.

Our exclusive method: the TAK® Model

To ensure the closest possible match between the desired profile and the candidate, we use the proprietary model Tell, Act, Know® based on hermeneutic-phenomenological psychology.

  • Tell: the candidate shares their story; we analyze narrative coherence, values, and aspirations.
  • Act: we verify objective data such as the résumé, roles held, actions taken and results achieved.
  • Know: the final assessment by our consultants; we integrate the collected data into a complete, reliable and predictive profile.

 

This methodology allows us to deeply explore motivation, decision-making abilities and leadership, reducing the risk of mismatch and turnover.

Executive search: a recruiter talks to a manager

Advanced psychometric assessment: the BFQ-2 test

In Executive Search, we complement interviews with the BFQ-2, a scientifically validated personality test developed by Giunti Psychometrics and based on the Big Five model.

This tool allows us to:

  • Map the most relevant soft skills for the role and organizational context.
  • Identify the candidate’s strengths and development areas.
  • Ensure an objective and comparable evaluation.

 

Thanks to its integration with the BFCmap© dictionary, the test provides a clear overview of 28 organizational competencies.

Verified language skills

Thanks to globalization, language proficiency has become increasingly crucial. That’s why we assess language skills with accuracy and professionalism:

  • Bilingual interviews: half of the interview is conducted in English by fluent consultants.
  • Pipplet test: evaluates written and spoken skills in 40 languages, based on the CEFR framework.

 

This ensures that every selected manager is ready to operate in international and multicultural environments.
