WE ARE MRI MANSERV

ABOUT US

ABOUT MANSERV

MRI Manserv was formed in Switzerland in 1982 by John Steele and is a classical direct executive search company which now combines the experience of time intensive manual search and the speed and easily available data of the new technologies.

The company is now run in the second generation by Alex Steele, the current Managing Director.

Many positions can be filled through your own company efforts and internal recruiters using personal contacts, job postings, Linkedin and other helpful data sources. However there are always situations where internal recruiters are not suitable for example because high confidentiality is required or where a particularly difficult search requires more time than is available because of conflicting projects which must be managed. In our more than 35 years of search experience we have gained numerous examples of successfully completing exactly these type of searches.

We have a strong track record in Europe and are excellent in identifying not only active job seekers but the more difficult to find passive candidates who may not even be in the popular internet platforms. Over the years we have successfully assisted leading international, medium sized and start up companies in recruiting top talent across Europe. In addition we have access to the MRI community of over 325 offices around the world to fill other international projects

MRI Manserv is one of the most successful MRI offices in Europe and has a high internal and external reputation globally. To meet our top management team click TEAM below.
