Solutions
Find the leadership to move your Venezuela business forward.
Executive search supports leadership and senior specialist appointments — the roles where a wrong hire costs a year, and where the search often has to stay confidential.

The problem we solve
Senior appointments in a market you do not operate in daily are hard to judge. Reputation travels through small networks, credentials are difficult to verify from abroad, and the strongest candidates are not applying to advertisements. Many companies end up choosing between the two people they happened to meet.
What you get
A mapped market for the role, a confidential approach to candidates who are not on the market, a documented assessment against the mandate you set, and reference work that reflects how the person actually operated.
Executive search supports leadership and specialist senior appointments. It is a search and assessment service, not an employment or payroll service.
Is this the right service for you?
Start with your business need. These examples can help you decide; if your situation is different, tell us what you need to achieve.
- You are appointing a country manager, commercial or operations leader for Venezuela.
- You need to replace a senior person without the market — or your own team — hearing about it first.
- You need evidence, not introductions, before you commit a year of the business to someone.
- You are appointing a senior specialist whose network is small and hard to reach from abroad.
How the engagement runs
Your proposal defines the scope, responsibilities and milestones, so you know what SIVEN manages, what your team decides and what happens next.
1. Mandate definition
We define what this leader must own and change in the first twelve months, the reporting line, the decision authority and the success measures.
2. Confidential mapping
We map the relevant leadership population in Venezuela and, where useful, Venezuelan leaders currently abroad.
3. Discreet approach
Candidates are approached on an unnamed basis. Your identity is released only at the stage you agree.
4. Assessment and referencing
Structured assessment against the mandate, written reports with evidence, and referencing focused on how the person led, decided and delivered.
5. Offer and transition
We support offer, counter-offer and transition, and scope mobility explicitly where the appointee starts from abroad.
How SIVEN supports your business
Confidentiality by design
Off-limits and confidentiality terms are documented before the search begins, not assumed.
Assessment, not introductions
Every conclusion in a candidate report is backed by evidence you can challenge.
Local reading of reputation
Senior reputation in Venezuela travels through small networks. We do that referencing on the ground, not from a database.
The first team follows
The commercial, technical and support hires behind the leader can run on the same brief, with employment and payroll handled in the same engagement.
What happens after you contact us
Tell us the mandate and whether the search must stay confidential. We come back with the stage structure, what each stage delivers and where the timeline carries risk.

What we need to build your proposal
- The mandate: what this leader must own and change in the first twelve months
- Reporting line, decision authority and who they will lead
- Whether the search must remain confidential, and from whom
- Employment arrangement intended for the appointment
- Compensation structure you are prepared to consider
- Your assessment and approval process, including any group-level steps
Who is responsible for what
- SIVEN runs mapping, approach, assessment, referencing and offer support.
- You set the mandate, meet the shortlist and make the appointment.
- Confidentiality and off-limits terms are documented before the search begins.
- Employment and payroll for the appointee follow the arrangement you select.
How pricing works
Your proposal separates compensation, applicable employer costs, agreed benefits, service fees and any project-specific expenses.
- Executive search is quoted as a retained engagement with defined stages and deliverables, priced on scope, seniority, confidentiality requirements and market difficulty.
- You will see the stage structure and what each stage delivers before you commit.
We do not publish “from” prices. A number without your roles, work pattern and employment arrangement behind it is not a price you can plan with.
The experience behind this service
Senior search methodology follows Gracemark's group practice. Relevant Gracemark leadership search examples can be shared under NDA during the proposal stage.
A common next step
After the leadership hire
Country leadership usually comes with a first team. Recruitment for the commercial, technical and support roles can follow the same brief.
Questions buyers ask
- Can the search be run without naming our company?
- Yes. We can approach the market on an unnamed basis and release your identity only at the stage you choose.
- How long does a senior search take?
- It depends on the mandate and the candidate population. We give you a stage-by-stage timeline in the proposal rather than a generic figure, and we tell you which stage carries the most risk of slipping.
- Do you assess candidates or just introduce them?
- We assess against the mandate and give you written evidence for each conclusion. You still meet and decide.
- Can you help the appointee relocate or start from abroad?
- We can scope it as part of the mandate. Mobility arrangements are handled explicitly in the proposal rather than assumed.
