Elevating Global Growth Through Exceptional Talent Leadership

The Challenge:

The client needed a senior talent acquisition leader capable of supporting their global expansion ambitions across the United States, Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Their existing talent function was heavily Europe-centric, limiting their ability to attract and integrate international hires. The replacement required strict confidentiality while identifying an individual with broad global HR experience. Additionally, the Luxembourg location narrowed the talent pool and required someone able to relocate or reliably commute.

Our Solution:

The recruitment team leveraged its international networks and deep sector expertise to target organisations with similar scale-up and global hiring demands. A discreet, selective approach ensured only those meeting the sensitive brief were engaged. Continuous communication with the client maintained alignment throughout the process.

• Conducted focused research into companies with relevant international expansion and talent leadership.
• Utilised trusted networks to discreetly identify senior leaders with global experience.
• Applied a rigorous, multi-stage screening process tailored to the client’s strategic and cultural requirements.

The Outcome:

The placed individual brought deep technology-sector expertise, strong multilingual ability and a proven track record in supporting global scale-up environments. Their commitment to a sustainable commute removed the location barrier entirely, enabling a seamless transition into the Luxembourg-based role. From the outset, they modernised the talent function, strengthened alignment with key stakeholders and significantly elevated the organisation’s capability to attract world-class talent across multiple regions. The successful individual offered extensive international HR and hiring experience, which was critical to the client’s expansion plans. They approached the geographical challenge with flexibility and professionalism, ensuring consistent presence and influence at the headquarters. Their impact was immediate, introducing a restructured talent framework and implementing improved global hiring processes that positioned the business for long-term international growth.
