VALUES

Authenticity

We believe in what we do. We are enthusiastic about transforming people and businesses through connections and taking each process as a unique journey.

Flexibility

Like artisans, we adapt our approach to each unique mandate, ensuring it fits the specific context, culture, and ambition of every client and candidate.

Open-Mindedness

We look beyond obvious paths and conventional backgrounds, uncovering unexpected potential and challenging assumptions to solve complex recruitment challenges.

Human Connection

We build and cultivate close relationships with business leaders (clients and candidates), immersing ourselves in their strategy, culture, and organizational realities. By being deeply connected to both sides, we create alignment.

Resilience

Complex searches require persistence. We stay committed, navigating obstacles with determination until the right match is found.

“United Search demonstrates a strong understanding of our business needs, the strategic roles we aim to fill, and the type of profiles that best fit our organization. Their ability to identify the right candidates, combined with their close support throughout the process, is highly valuable. We also greatly appreciate the quality of their candidate reports, which provide clear insights and concrete examples that help us make well-informed decisions. Their guidance during the final stages, including salary negotiation, also makes them a trusted partner in our hiring decisions. ”

Francesc F. HR Director, Food international company

“The support provided by Marie during my recent transition into a new role has been a highly positive experience. Throughout our discussions, Marie demonstrated a strong understanding of the profession, and her involvement went far beyond a simple introduction. Her expertise and holistic approach were instrumental in identifying an opportunity that was perfectly aligned with both my skills and my professional aspirations. What truly sets United Search apart is the resilience and quality of the professional relationship we have built and maintained over several years. Your perseverance, attentive listening, and ability to adapt your approach over time reflect a remarkable level of commitment. I highly recommend your services for your deep market knowledge and for the human, consistent, and reliable support you provide. ”

“Relying on your support during my coaching process has marked a «before» and an «after» in my professional and personal life. I was able to understand better my priorities and also rediscover my full potential -which is something anyone can sense- but that without the knowledge and experience of a professional like you, would’ve been more complicated to do.”
