Executive Space

At Servitalent, we understand that parting ways with an executive is a delicate process for both the company and the individual involved. Beyond financial considerations, managing this transition strategically and professionally can positively impact corporate reputation, workplace climate, and future relationships with key professionals.

However, professional transition is a specialized field that requires a distinct approach. That’s why Servitalent collaborates with Vasis Conseil, a national leader in this area, to provide top-tier executive outplacement services. Through this partnership, we help companies navigate these situations with professionalism and sensitivity.

Executive search, also known as headhunting or executive recruitment, is a specialized HR service focused on identifying, evaluating, and hiring top-level professionals for strategic leadership positions. Unlike traditional recruitment, this proactive process doesn’t rely on job ads, but instead seeks out candidates who, even if they are not actively looking for a job, could bring exceptional value to the organization.

There’s no doubt: strong employer brands attract and retain top talent. Companies that strategically manage their employer brand not only dominate markets but also attract and retain the best professionals. A strong brand is much more than a commercial asset — it’s a symbol of trust, quality, and prestige that acts as a powerful talent magnet.

The recent announcement by the Spanish Government regarding salary increases for the military has reignited the debate around pay equity and the need for structured salary reviews in any organization. While this raise has been welcomed by many, it has also sparked criticism when compared to other security forces.

From a talent management perspective, this case highlights the importance of designing salary policies using a data-driven and strategic approach, avoiding reactive decisions that could lead to internal inequalities or financial instability.

Sustainability is no longer an option—it is an obligation within the European Union framework. With the enforcement of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), companies are required to integrate ESG criteria (Environmental, Social, and Governance) into their corporate reports. This regulatory shift is transforming how organizations manage their strategy and talent.

With the new year, HR teams must adapt to a regulated environment where the ethical use of artificial intelligence (AI) is key. The Spanish Agency for AI Supervision (AESIA) will begin inspections on February 2, 2025, ensuring compliance with Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, which classifies AI systems based on risk level. If your company uses AI in recruitment, now is the perfect time to optimize your processes and ensure that they are ethical, transparent, and effective.

Access to affordable housing remains one of the biggest challenges for professionals, especially those who need to relocate for work. According to a LinkedIn survey conducted by Servitalent, the results are striking: 88% of respondents receive no support from their companies to secure housing. Only 1% report receiving financial assistance or corporate housing, while 11% cite remote work or flexible arrangements as their only form of support.

These figures reveal not only a significant gap in corporate policies but also highlight a critical issue impacting workforce mobility, the ability to close hiring agreements, and ultimately, companies’ competitiveness.

The security and defense sector in Spain is undergoing a period of transformation and growth. The geopolitical, economic, and governmental landscape is creating a favorable environment that promises to drive its development in the coming years. We analyze the key reasons why 2025 will be a decisive year for this industry and how it will impact the demand for specialized talent

Expanding a business into new markets like Germany, Mexico, or the United States presents significant challenges. These include identifying qualified candidates, adapting to cultural differences, complying with local regulations, and retaining key talent. To overcome these barriers, companies need effective tools and strategies for managing global talent.

As the new year approaches, reflecting on leadership challenges becomes essential. One of the most overlooked yet common struggles for CEOs is the loneliness that comes with leadership. This phenomenon affects executives across all industries and company sizes, from multinational corporations to small organizations.
