Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of companies are you recruiting for in the Fashion industry?
In the Fashion industry we have historically recruited more for luxury brands in Ready-To-Wear and Leather Goods like Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Fendi, Ermenegildo Zegna… But more recently we have a growing trend of working with more casual fashion brands focus on streetwear, kidswear, sportswear, footwear, etc…
What kind of roles are you recruiting for in the Fashion industry?
Whether recruiting for the luxury fashion industry, or for casual fashion brands, we work mostly at a mid to senior level of management across a wide variety of corporate job functions:
- CEO and COO
- Director, VP or SVP of Sales
- Director, VP or SVP of Marketing
- Director, VP or SVP of Ecommerce
- Director, VP or SVP of Stores

And also retail functions

- Store Director/Manager

- Retail Sales Associates (only in luxury fashion)
What is retained executive search compared to professional recruitment?
Our retained executive search services is a specialized recruitment service that focuses on sourcing and placing high-level management and leadership positions, such as C-suite executives, SVPs and VPs within an organization. In this approach, the hiring company enters into an exclusive agreement with the recruitment firm and pays an upfront retainer fee.
The search process is more thorough and time-intensive, involving extensive research, in-depth candidate assessments, and personalized attention to the client’s needs. Professional recruitment, on the other hand, targets mid-level roles and individual contributor positions within an organization.
The process is typically faster and more streamlined, utilizing also a direct approach of passive candidates, the recruitment firm’s existing candidate network, job advertisements, and other sourcing techniques to find the right candidates. In this scenario, the fee structure is largely based on contingency, meaning most of the fee is due only when a successful placement is made.
