We connect people who transform businesses.

Evidence-led executive search for complex and emerging markets. Less risk. Better hires. Stronger retention.

Why it matters

Recruiting in emerging markets is complex — especially across borders. The real cost of a mis-hire is high, financially and strategically. We go beyond filling roles to ensure the right leaders thrive and stay, so change unlocks performance — not risk.

 

Reduce hiring risk

Structured assessment, clear criteria, transparent reporting — so you can decide with confidence.

Retention, not just placement

Integration support and cultural fit checks designed to improve 12-month retention.

Access to scarce talent

Global reach + local insight to surface leaders others can’t.

Our story

Impact Talent was founded to raise the standard of senior hiring where it’s hardest to get right — from Sub-Saharan Africa to the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America. We partner with organisations powering trade, supply chains, and infrastructure to secure leaders who integrate, perform, and stay.
It’s our promise of Impact with Integrity: measurable results delivered with honesty, transparency, and respect.
