Executive Search is at the heart of our work.
HRIC conducts confidential executive searches globally, supporting development institutions, foundations, international NGOs, and purpose-driven companies across Latin America, North America, Europe, and other international markets. Our searches combine deep market knowledge, global candidate engagement, and a disciplined evaluation process designed for complex leadership appointments.
We work closely with boards and senior executives to define the leadership profile required for the organization’s next stage, engage exceptional candidates across regions, and guide the search through a thoughtful and rigorous selection process.
Our searches frequently include:
Chief Executive Officers and Executive Directors
Chief Communications Officers and other C-Suite leaders
Vice Presidents and Board or Senior Advisory appointments
Strengthening the leadership layer that drives execution.
Beyond executive appointments, organizations often require experienced leaders who can translate strategy into operational results.
HRIC supports the recruitment of senior managers and directors across functions such as communications, strategy, programs, and partnerships. These searches focus on individuals who combine technical expertise with leadership maturity and the ability to operate across cultures and complex stakeholder environments.
This work is particularly relevant for organizations operating across multiple countries or navigating periods of growth and transformation.
Examples of roles include:
Senior Managers and Directors Department Heads
Heads of Finance, HR, Operations, or Programs
Country Managers and Senior Functional Leaders
Preparing organizations for one of their most important leadership decisions.
Before launching a leadership search, boards often reach a moment that requires careful reflection. The choice of the next leader will shape the organization’s direction, culture, and credibility for years to come. Aligning expectations around the role, the leadership mandate, and the approach to the search is therefore essential.
HRIC works directly with boards and search committees to guide this early stage of the process, bringing clarity to the leadership profile required for the organization’s future and alignment around how the search will be conducted.
Drawing on our experience conducting executive searches globally, we help organizations move from uncertainty to a well-defined leadership mandate, ensuring the board approaches the search with clarity, confidence, and a shared vision of the leadership the organization needs for its next chapter.
Strategic clarity for senior leaders considering their next move.
Whether considering a sector shift, relocation, or a new leadership mandate, the program helps leaders approach these moments with clarity and strategy rather than improvisation.
Built from our experience conducting executive searches and advising boards on senior appointments, NEXTStep combines market insight with behavioral analysis to help leaders understand how they operate, how they are perceived, and how they should position themselves for the opportunities ahead.
