The role

Why hiring an HR director or manager calls for a dedicated process

Strategic HR is increasingly decisive: attracting and retaining talent in a tight market, developing leaders, nurturing culture and reducing labor risks. The HR leader must be a partner to the CEO and, at the same time, close to operations.

In companies with dispersed operations, industrial units or a strong field presence, the challenge includes union relations, safety, mental health and communication with distant teams. We search for professionals who have done this in a similar context.
