Harvard Group International's retained executive search practice is the cornerstone of our firm. For nearly three decades, we have partnered with organizations to identify, attract, and secure exceptional executive talent.

Every search begins with a thorough understanding of your organization, its strategy, culture, challenges, and opportunities.
