Paris has a rich and complex talent landscape. The city is home to some of Europe’s most influential communications and public affairs communities, with a media environment, a set of institutional relationships and a regulatory culture that are distinct from anywhere else on the continent. Finding the right person here requires genuine market knowledge, not a generalised European search.

Our Paris practice has been supporting organisations across France and mainland Europe since 2007, placing mid-to-senior professionals across communications, public affairs, PR, marketing, digital and sales. We work with multinational corporations, CAC 40 companies, independent agencies, trade associations and NGOs, and have built a trusted network of the finest professionals across the French and European markets.

Executive Search and Recruitment in Paris

Our Paris team comes from a range of industry and European backgrounds, giving us an unrivalled understanding of the cultural nuances, sector specialisms and hiring trends that shape the French market. We take a proactive approach, going beyond the active market to identify and approach the best talent on your behalf, including professionals who are not actively looking but would move for the right opportunity.

We are active across Paris and the wider continent, with strong connections across France, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, Spain, the Netherlands and Germany. We place permanent and interim leaders across the C-suite and head of function level, covering communications, public affairs, marketing, digital, sustainability, sales and commercial, editorial and content, and investor relations.
