Driven by Experience.

Designed for Impact.

TALENTspy was founded over 20 years ago with a clear mission: to rethink executive search based on our own firsthand experiences—as both candidates and clients. We were often left disappointed by traditional approaches that lacked efficiency, transparency, and long-term relationship-building. So we decided to create a better way.

Since the beginning we have focused on building a network of top-tier candidates, most of them with dual university qualifications, a consulting or investment banking background, and a proven track record as operational leaders. This was and is our unique selling proposition. Over time we have enlarged our network across Europe for high-caliber leaders.

How It All Began

Before launching TALENTspy, our founders and partners held senior roles in corporate leadership and top-tier management consulting. Working closely with executive search firms from both sides of the table, we saw the gaps: searches took too long, and candidates often felt like commodities rather than people with potential. We believed there had to be a more effective, more human approach—and that belief became the foundation of TALENTspy.
