Talentor International

The Talentor International team is passionate about finding experts who share our values and bringing them together. We are in contact or have cooperation agreements with many other executive search agencies which are not (yet) Talentor partners. So in case, you can not find a suitable country/partner please get in contact with us. We will search for the leaders you need!

About us

At Talentor, we all come to work every day because we want to solve the biggest challenges in hiring the right leaders, finding the best partners for our network and creating new trends in Human Resource Management.

In 2013 we got the opportunity to take over Talentor partner system and since then we invested a lot to develop a state of the art executive search network. Processes speed up (Internet and new Media) and job profiles change. In order to remain ahead of the curve in the changing market requirements, we constantly observe international trends and continuously renew our processes.
