A case in point is a Mexican private aviation firm that faced logistical challenges, resulting in significant financial losses. The CEO urgently sought an expert in airline traffic from a leading private jet company to address the issue. Despite uncertainties regarding compensation and relocation, Humaniq went the extra mile to identify a qualified candidate based in Portugal. After a month of negotiations and unwavering persuasion, it successfully placed the candidate in Mexico, which led to a favorable outcome for the client.
In another instance, Humaniq assisted in recruiting a candidate from one of Mexico’s two prominent cinema chains to join the competitor and enhance its business improvement plan. The negotiation was exceptionally tough due to the candidate’s 16-year tenure with the company and reluctance to depart. Humaniq persuaded the candidate to seize the new opportunity, demonstrating its ability to cultivate trust over time and foster long-term partnerships.
The headhunting company aims to increase its engagement with international companies operating in Mexico in line with nearshoring.
Demonstrating a commitment to ethical principles, agility and efficiency, Humaniq stands firm as a steadfast ally for clients and candidates looking for a seamless and cohesive recruitment experience— delivered with swift response times.
