Services

Esi’s specialization in the Global Hospitality arena allows us to find the key individual to make a strategic difference in your operation. This is supported by offices located in offices located in London, Rome, Milan and Abu Dhabi.

ESI becomes your ambassadors projecting your leadership and company culture to candidates ready to embark on their next career challenge.

After almost 40 years we are aware as to where the top talent is located and if they are ready to advance.

Using the latest search models, allows us to present top talent in a relative short period.

ESI works for you exclusively to have access to candidates who otherwise would not listen to new career opportunities and would decline should they be called by other search companies for the same position and you would not be made aware of it.

ESI team members combine the scope and reach of international search firms with the high touch, personal service of a boutique. When we have surveyed our clients after completed searches, they repeatedly tell us that it is our persistent attention that keeps them coming back to us. Of course, that would mean little if we didn’t meet our primary objective — finding the right candidates for our clients time and time again in an expedient manner.

We work confidentially and discreetly. We do not post details of our assignments on websites or social media sites; nor do we publish a list of whom we place or where individuals are placed.
