Paris

France is the gateway to Continental Europe and home to the largest number of European headquarters for leading multinational corporations, with world-leading competitive positions in transportation equipment (cars, aircrafts & fast trains), building & construction, luxury goods, food products, retailing, entertainment, energy, oil & gas, and telecommunications.

Internationalization and leaner corporate governance are now major forces behind the modernization of the country's business practices, and an increasing number of businesses, large or small, are now turning to retained executive search as their preferred way to select senior leadership talent.

Established in Paris since 1973, Ray & Berndtson is one of the leading senior-level executive search firms in France. We have handled more than 4,000 search assignments in all main sectors: industry, finance, services, retailing, and technology.  Thanks to our unique global coverage, close to a quarter of them have been for positions outside of France.

All of our senior professionals have more than 10 years' of executive search experience and bring a wide diversity of management experience in industry or consulting. 

We mostly handle search assignments for C-level positions as well as for key specialists. Our clients include large French and foreign multinational organizations as well as small and medium-size public and private businesses, and not-for-profit or government organizations.  Two thirds of our assignments are with clients who have successfully used us more than five times.
