Consumer, Retail and Luxury Goods

Given the status of Paris within the world of fashion and luxury goods, this is one of the most well developed practices within Hays Executive's French operation. We are well used to the demands of a client base that shows the same exacting standards in their search for talent as they do in the development of their luxury brands. The fit has to be exactly right.

The scope of the Retail, Consumer and Luxury Goods practice requires our consultants to be outstanding all-rounders and not just narrowly focused in one niche area. Being able to understand both food and fashion retail, FMCG and luxury goods, as well as media, leisure and hospitality, means that they can not only identify the most obvious targets but also those outstanding individuals who can readily apply their talents to a challenge in a similar sector.

Our track record is as rich and varied as the practice itself. We help our clients to find key operational staff within specialist areas as well as recruiting for general management roles. Recent assignments have included Commercial Director, Marketing Director, Head of Visual Merchandising, Operations Director and Head of Supply Chain.

With an international network and track record of genuine cross border cooperation, we are able to adapt our resources to deliver searches across the key markets where talented individuals may work, often Paris, London or Milan but increasingly other cities such as Brussels, Amsterdam or Madrid.
