Arethusa

Arethusa is an Italian search and selection firm, active since 1990, that recruits middle and senior managers. Its partners and senior consultants come from HR leadership roles in large companies, and it applies direct search at every managerial level rather than keeping it for the most senior roles. Over time it has added organisational consulting and people development to its recruitment work.

• Executive search — direct search for middle and senior management positions.
• Recruitment — selection of qualified staff across business functions, from head office and C-suite to production and supply chain.
• Organisational consulting — advice on how companies structure their people and teams.
• People performance management — support for measuring and improving staff performance.
• People development and change management — programmes to develop staff and guide organisations through change.
