People drive results - turning strategy into KPIs, challenges into outcomes. The right leader moves a business forward. The wrong one puts it at risk - a bad hire can cost several times the annual salary in lost time and disruption.
Talentor was founded in 2003 on a simple belief: independent local search experts, united by shared standards, make better hiring decisions than any single global player could alone. Headquartered in Vienna, we combine strong European roots with true global reach - so every hire is right for the market, and right for the moment.
Talentor has grown from 12 countries in 2012 to over 50 countries in 2026, expanding its independent-partner network across Europe and beyond.
Global reach without sacrificing the local market knowledge and executive search expertise that make the difference between a good shortlist and the right hire.
What makes a network perform at this level is rarely visible from the outside. Talentor's Network Management Team works exclusively to ensure it does. They identify and onboard new partners, maintain quality standards, enable continuous professional development, and organise the summits and practice group forums where real knowledge exchange happens.
The team also drives the infrastructure that keeps the network ahead: marketing support for partners, technology scouting, contract frameworks, and the coordination that turns our independent firms working in +50 countries worldwide into a single, coherent delivery capability.
Whatever the role, wherever the market, our partners bring local expertise backed by the strength and consistency of an international network. Reach out to our Head of Business Development & Sales, Gertraud Eregger, to start a conversation about your executive search needs. We're ready when you are!
At Talentor, our code of conduct guides the ethical and behavioral standards we uphold across the network. It shapes how we work - with every client, every candidate, and every partner, in every decision and every action. More than a commitment to compliance, it is a shared standard we invite our partners and their teams to embrace alongside us. These are the core values that unite us:
