Executive Space

In today's professional environment, negotiation stands as a crucial skill. Whether closing deals, resolving conflicts, or agreeing on contractual terms, the ability to negotiate effectively can be decisive for success. But how to act in the face of a particularly challenging negotiation style? Imagine this situation: you are in the final phase of a selection process for a key executive position. The company shows a clear interest in your incorporation, and you desire the position, but the negotiation of the compensation package, which includes salary and benefits, becomes a challenge. Your interlocutor's style is reminiscent of Donald Trump's: direct, unpredictable, and with a "win at all costs" mentality. How to approach this situation without yielding to all their demands or jeopardizing the negotiation?

Are you wasting valuable talent due to age?

Spain is in full economic recovery, with a general unemployment rate in decline (10.9% at the beginning of 2025, according to the INE). However, one of the major challenges of the current labor market remains age discrimination. Today, nearly 32% of unemployed people are over 50 years old, a figure that not only affects thousands of qualified professionals but also companies that miss opportunities to incorporate experience and strategic vision.

Eliminating ageism in selection processes is not just an ethical issue: it is a decision that directly impacts your company's productivity, innovation, and reputation.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing talent management, strategic decision-making, and business efficiency. However, its implementation must align with ethical and responsible principles. That’s why at Servitalent, we have joined the Commitment to Safe and Responsible AI in the Workplace, an initiative led by AEDIPE (Spanish Association for People Management and Development), supported by organizations such as the OECD, G7, and ILO.

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.

Social media has transformed the way we interact and present ourselves to the world. Today, these platforms not only reflect our personal activities and interests but also reveal key aspects of our professional lives. This shift has led many companies to consider reviewing candidates’ social mediaprofiles as an integral part of the selection process. However, this practice has sparked an ongoing ethical debate. Below, we explore the pros and cons of examining candidates’ social media during the hiring process.

As a new year begins, businesses in Spain face a series of key challenges in talent management. In a context marked by technological transformation, globalization, and regulatory changes, CEOs and HR managers have the opportunity to position themselves strategically to lead the market.

As 2024 nears its end, Servitalent conducted a LinkedIn survey to assess the current state of training in artificial intelligence (AI). The results are revealing and highlight a significant challenge for businesses and their teams:

At Servitalent, we understand that talent management is the heart of any competitive organization. We help companies find and develop the right people, but we also recognize that to do this effectively, we need innovative tools that allow us to be fast, precise, and adaptable. This belief led us to a key strategic decision: to embrace technological autonomy to optimize our talent processes.
