In Europe, like anywhere else, the success of a software publisher relies primarily upon the professional capabilities of its local leaders and personnel, and therefore upon the quality of its recruitment. This is even more important for subsidiaries to be opened or redeployed, as the newly selected leaders will have a decisive influence on all the hirings which will follow.

At Software in Europe we are professionals of the software industry exclusively, which is why we restrict our recruitment services to the software and internet applications area. Our search and recruitment services include :

Executive search for leaders of European branch offices

•  The searches for executives are conducted only by the executives of our organization.
•  We proceed mainly by direct approach.

Search for the other categories of personnel

•  The marketing, technical, financial, legal and admin profiles are selected by our most senior consultants.
•  We proceed either by direct approach, or by advertisements.
