Our story
Founded on a shared convictionInternational Recruiting was founded by two women whose careers offered complementary views of the same challenge: how to connect organizations with people capable of reshaping their future.
Founder & Managing Partner
Nancy brought broad leadership experience from LVMH and a career spanning the full spectrum of human resources. She understands how organizations grow, how cultures take shape, and what exceptional leadership looks like in practice.
Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer
Elena began in art and design before building her career in talent recruiting. She brings that creative eye and genuine love of the work to every mandate—diving deeply into each role and delivering specialized, hard-to-fill searches that conventional approaches often miss.
“Our work is not about filling seats. It is about finding the people who help businesses grow.”
As industries, technologies, and ways of working continue to change, their purpose has only become more relevant. Together, they built a firm recognized for integrity, customer focus, and consistently high-quality delivery. More than ten years later, those principles remain the measure of every search.
