Electi:
What truly sets up apart

We always put our clients’ interests first. Your success is our success!

We are a human-size boutique search firm comprised of a team of experts who are adept at providing you with unparalleled access to the right talent. We are looking for the candidate that will embody your organization’s vision, mission statement and further aim for growth. When it comes to sourcing, we become an extension of our clients.

Quality over Quantity is a belief reflected in our business model. This concept is applied in the management of our mandates. We rely on an exemplary professionalism to offer you a tailor‑made service in getting on board the most suitable candidate in the market for the position.

We are your true ambassadors on the market

Electi has been founded with the desire to offer something different with its approach to assign a unique and same person to be the link between clients and candidates. We pride ourselves on our commitment to maintain direct communication, continuous feedback and complete transparency.

This constructive attitude applies equally to candidates. We always keep in mind that we are your ambassadors on the market, and as such, we ensure that we respect the trust placed in us by conveying the right messages and protecting your reputation.

Experience confirms that this resolutely human and responsible approach makes all the difference. It allows success where other firms have failed before us.

We support and guide you from start to finish

We act as your strategic partner during every phase of the hiring process.

From the onset, we help you determine the ideal profile according to your particular needs and organizational context. Later on, we can facilitate the decision-making-process with your organization’s Executive Committee (or Board of Directors) and prepare the integration of the retained leaders.
