Our presence in London, Paris and New York, as well as coverage of the Near/Middle East region (via our Tel Aviv / Dubai office), gives us unrivalled global reach when working with both candidates and clients.

Finding talent

We perform in-depth candidate competency based interviewing allowing timely presentation to our clients of only the most suitable applicants. The search and assessment process for urgent assignments can be as quick as 2 – 3 weeks, from agreeing on the role specification to the final offer.

Recruiting the most competent candidate with the most suitable personality can be vital to the performance of a company’s executives and consequently to how an organisation performs.

We maintain and nurture close and often long-term relationships with an exclusive network of pre-qualified candidates. Our clients have exclusive access to this tight professional circle of trusted, recommended candidates not available from any other portfolio.

Onboarding

Our 100 day pledge

Most agencies consider their job done once the offer is signed & sealed. Selectus goes well beyond that, by assisting both the client and the recruited candidate for 100 days with onboarding “best practices” insight methods and feedback to create a successful partnership from the very start.

Employee retention starts from the moment a candidate signs the contract. We act as an intermediary mentor between the candidate and the company, ensuring a clear communication flow. If there are areas to address and redress, these will be resolved. Nearly 70% of employees that experience great onboarding will stay with an organisation for three and beyond.

What people say

"We went to Davide to recruit for a hig- level EA to a diplomat in the Middle East. When we were recommended to Davide and told about his speediness of delivery we did not quite realise how responsive Davide was going to be. The specifics of the role were exacting, the location was a challenge too. But it was a very high level Executive assistant role. Davide and his team presented to us 1 candidate within 24 hours, the candidate was offered the role on the spot by the principal. Davide was involved with the assignment delivery. The work his team produces is bespoke, second to none. "
Cyril TemimDirector & Chief of Staff - Saudi Royal Family office
We approached Davide with the view to recruit a travelling project manager between London, Rome and Tel Aviv. We were astonished when Davide and his team provided us a selection of candidates within a few days of agreeing the brief. The level of responsiveness at any time of the day was so reassuring. We knew there was always someone there.
OranCEO, Tel Aviv
"As a candidate I have never met anyone quite like Davide. His kindness and his generosity with his time is unusual in the industry. Davide will give you so much of his time for interview preparation, detailed feedback and debriefs or even boosting your confidence if you are feeling low. Davide does this independently of the interests at stake. He helped me obtain roles for which he wouldn’t receive any fee. That is the level of his dedication and passion. Whilst Davide did not place me in my current role my candidate experience with him has been so positive that I would recommend him to other candidates or use him as a preferred recruiter."
Valentine Snell Executive Assistant to CEO
"I have used Davide and his recruitment services for a number of years. Davide has a natural ability to spot talent. We approached him to recruit our office manager which required linguistic skills due to the nature of the business. Davide and his team came up with a selection of candidates within 24 hours all of who could have done the job. We were put in the uncomfortable situation of struggling in choosing who to offer the role to. Davide's team helped us all the way through, including with making up our mind with who to choose. Outstanding work."
Tom Price J Stern & Co.
"Davide is an exceptional person who demonstrates the highest professional standards and consideration when dealing with both his candidates and clients. Davide’s creative mind and wealth of experience ensures that he always produces the elusive “wild card” for which we are searching. This success is undoubtedly based on his in-depth knowledge of the candidates and crucial insight of his clients’ operations and requirements. Davide’s is a uniquely talented recruitment professional within his niche market. His métier is to provide outstanding recruitment services in real time."
