For the second year running, Boyden is part of the Top 10 of the best executive search firms compiled by the magazine Forbes. Out of a total of 250 executive recruitment companies considered for this category, the list Best Executive Recruiting Firms once again places the company in the top 10.
Lisbon, September 4th, 2018 - For the second year running, Boyden, the world's leading talent and leadership consultancy, has made the top 10 of the “Best Executive Recruiting Firms 2018", compiled by Forbes. In total, there are 250 companies in the magazine's ranking.
Boyden's president and CEO expresses her satisfaction with this recognition: “We are honored to be mentioned as one of the top 10 executive recruitment companies for the second year running.”. Trina Gordon adds that “the fact that we occupy such a high position on this list is a testament to our customer-centric strategy. We congratulate our professional partners for their dedication and commitment to creating leading and talented solutions in the United States, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia".
Boyden Portugal is to be congratulated, having far exceeded the global results of the network and those of the Executive Search market, which has achieved growth of around 10.3% in Europe and Africa, according to data from the AESC (Association of Executive Search and Leadership Consultants) Report 2018.
Maintaining the trend of continuous and sustained growth, Boyden Portugal grew by more than 40% last year. This rate of increase solidified Portugal's presence on the podium of the network's global performance ranking (taking into account the sales indicator, weighted by GDP), only surpassed by Denmark and Finland.
As Fernando Neves de Almeida, Managing Partner of Boyden Portugal, explains, “All the most economically developed countries, with higher productivity and professional management, almost exclusively use executive search processes as a form of recruitment. Although the reality in Portugal is not yet the same, this has to be the way forward, particularly in the face of a recovery and increased competition in which companies need quality people to achieve better results. 2017”s performance was made possible by the extraordinary team that surrounds me and in 2018 we want to continue helping the market find the talent that is able to follow trends, manage change, reconcile innovation and results orientation and motivate and develop teams".
