Persel Group is a hiring advisory firm specializing in executive search and strategic career coaching. We connect leaders with organizations poised for growth, focusing on innovation, technology, and leadership excellence. We help our clients bring their value to life and represent who they are to the organizations who seek their services. For well-qualified clients, we also offer full job search outsourcing.

Full job search outsourcing allows Persel Group to fully manage your job search process, including strategy, company targeting, role identification, personalized outreach, and application logistics. You’ll primarily focus on interviews and meetings, while we handle the search execution.

“Well-qualified” clients are leaders who are fully committed to the process, invested in achieving results quickly, and available to act on momentum. We only engage with professionals who are prepared to prioritize their search. If you’re working with us, you’ve already been evaluated as “well-qualified.”

We specialize in emerging technology and innovation sectors, particularly xTech industries such as DefenseTech, GovTech, InsurTech, EdTech, HealthTech, and GreenTech. Our focus is on sectors undergoing digital transformation and pioneering the use of AI and advanced technologies.
