In the dynamic business landscape, organisations often have to redefine their business approaches and target markets for harmonious growth. This necessitates the exploration of executive talent beyond their customary boundaries. However, the inherent unfamiliarity of the terrain presents a challenge for recruiters in precisely identifying the most fitting candidates.

It maintains close collaboration with clients and candidates, exhibiting proficiency domestically in France and internationally around the globe.

Given the critical nature of executive recruitment in line with evolving organisational demands, GIES offers an opportunity for organisations to gain valuable insights and introspection through a comprehensive exploration of multiple candidate profiles. This process involves careful attention to detail, personalised services, and a commitment to excellence that exceeds standard industry practices.
One notable case study highlights GIES's proficiency in facilitating crossindustry talent matchmaking. A company specialising in thanatopraxia—dead body embalming—faced a challenge finding the CEO to bring profitability, although sales were galore. Recognising the similarity between the two industries— although not obvious at first look, GIES creatively recommended a professional from a global lift company to bring his experience in streamlining operations for the thanatopraxia company.
Highlighting similarities between the ways these companies operate by virtue of being B2B entities, GIES ensured the hired talent’s decade-long operational experience benefits the client. The professional brought valuable knowledge from the lift service industry, effectively integrating their skills to excel at their new role in the thanatopraxia company.
In another scenario, GIES’s strategy mirrors the prevailing trend of leveraging expertise from diverse sectors to fulfil specific staffing needs. Many European textile companies gradually shifted their manufacturing operations to Asia over several years. During this shift, textile entities in Western Europe felt the need to source executives from industries known for their manufacturing efficiency. GIES enabled them to find and hire operational executives from companies across industries with similar manufacturing methods to successfully meet their staffing needs.
Building on its culture of innovation, Giudicelli International Executive Solutions continues to ensure clients benefit from the most effective and efficient executive search methodologies available. As a visionary partner at the forefront of cutting-edge talent search practices, the firm is dedicated to delivering service excellence that prioritises organisational needs throughout the journey of discovering the right talent from across the globe.
