HR Headhunters in Spain
Executive Search and Headhunters for Human Resources in Spain
Recruit Mogul specialises in executive search, headhunting and talent acquisition for senior roles in human resources across Madrid, Catalonia, Andalusia, Basque Country, and other regions. We work with businesses across sectors to secure HR leaders who shape culture, develop talent strategies, and drive business performance from within.
Spain’s economy spans tourism, renewable energy, automotive manufacturing, financial services, agribusiness, infrastructure, and technology. National regulatory frameworks and economic priorities influence how organisations structure operations and leadership teams. EU integration, export activity, foreign investment, and continued infrastructure modernisation contribute to long-term competitiveness and strategic growth.
Whether you’re evolving your people strategy, scaling operations, or navigating organisational change, the right HR leadership is crucial. We identify individuals who bring not only expertise in human capital management but also the vision to align people and business goals.
Strategic Talent Acquisition for HR Leadership
Human resources is no longer a back-office function, it is a core driver of transformation, agility and retention. Recruit Mogul helps businesses recruit senior HR professionals with the skills to manage complex workforce challenges and lead strategic initiatives.
We place leaders across key disciplines within the HR function, including:
C-suite HR roles:
- Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO)
- Chief People Officer (CPO)
Senior HR leadership and functional roles:
- Head of Talent Acquisition
- Head of Learning and Development
- Director of People Operations
- Global Mobility Director
- HR Business Partner Lead
- Director of Employee Relations
- Head of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
These professionals lead across the employee lifecycle, manage risk and compliance, and influence engagement, performance, and retention at every level of the organisation.
Executive Search for People-Centric Leadership
Our executive search process is built to identify and engage HR leaders who bring strategic influence, cultural awareness and strong business alignment. We take the time to understand your organisation’s values, goals and unique people challenges, then develop a tailored search approach to secure the right talent.
Every search includes:
- Deep consultation to define success criteria
- Talent mapping across relevant sectors
- Discreet engagement with passive HR executives
- Candidate assessment for technical, behavioural and cultural fit
- Shortlist presentation with detailed reporting
We work with boards, CEOs and HR leadership teams to deliver searches that result in appointments capable of transforming HR into a true business partner.
