Testimonials
I contacted Adela through market references; I was told that she wasn’t your typical headhunter. Her approachability, involvement, and ability to truly own the process were the reasons we opened the first position, which was the Human Resources Director role. Since that position three years ago, she has helped us transform and improve various strategic roles within the company. From a partner perspective, her service-oriented mindset, expertise, and ability to quickly learn about new projects have made those projects successful. In short, she is someone we trust to manage our human capital, which is undoubtedly one of the key differentiators in organisations. Energy, Chief Operating Officer, Multinational Company
I have worked with Adela on several processes, and due to her management skills and flexibility in adapting to the client's timeline, we have always achieved very good results. She is characterized by being skilled and resourceful when it comes to presenting different profile options that fit our needs. Her client-oriented approach is her most distinctive feature. During the search, she fully understands the profile and culture of the company, which is key for us. From this understanding, she manages to meet deadlines and requirements, helping us close complex processes successfully. Finance, CFO, Multinational company
