About this hub

Europe's mandates anchor in Turin.

Turin runs KiTalent's European operating model — direct headhunting and continuous market mapping across Italy, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and the wider EMEA corridor. A senior director walks you through how Proof-First™ Search would run on your specific role.

KiTalent's Turin hub serves senior executive-search mandates across continental Europe, the United Kingdom, and the wider EMEA corridor. The team operates KiTalent's full Proof-First methodology — continuous market mapping, direct headhunting of passive talent, and a validated shortlist on your desk in 7–10 working days. The hub is led by a senior director with full accountability for every mandate.

Section 02 · How this hub worksDay 0 to placement

Four stages. One commercial hinge.

Every Turin mandate runs KiTalent's full Proof-First process — the six-stage methodology you can read in detail on the methodology page — abbreviated here into the four stages a client actually experiences.

  1. i.

    Map the market.

    Continuous competitor mapping across continental Europe, the United Kingdom, and the wider EMEA corridor. The hub maintains live target-company lists, sector pattern recognition, and salary benchmarks updated every quarter — every brief starts with current data, not last year's network.

    MappingDay 0 — 3

  2. ii.

    Approach passive talent.

    Direct headhunting only. The hub runs outbound conversations in English, Italian, German, French, Dutch, and Spanish with senior operators who are not on the market. KiTalent does not post jobs, advertise mandates, or rely on inbound CVs.

    OutreachDay 1 — 7

  3. iii.

    Validate the shortlist.

    By Day 10, three to five interview-ready candidates with full profiles, compensation context, motivation, and KiTalent's interview reports. The interview fee is invoiced only if you validate the shortlist as fit for purpose.

    ValidationDay 7 — 10

  4. iv.

    Place & partner.

    Offer-stage negotiation, reference verification, onboarding handover. The interview fee is credited against the placement fee on hire. 96% retention after one year and 8+ year average client partnership across the four hubs.

Section 03 · Common questionsFive questions

Five questions, before you brief.

  1. What countries does the Turin hub cover?

    The Turin hub serves senior executive search across Italy, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Belgium, and Poland — plus the wider EMEA corridor on a project basis. Italian, German, French, Dutch, Spanish, and English are working languages on the team.

  2. Who leads searches from the Turin hub?

    Searches from Turin are led by a senior director with full mandate accountability. The Turin team includes Group CEO Alessio Montaruli and associate directors covering financial services, industrial, luxury, and AI/technology sectors. See the leadership section above for the full team.

  3. How fast can the Turin hub start a search?

    A senior director responds within one working day to every brief, and Strategy Calls are typically scheduled within 48 hours. From kickoff, mapping and direct outreach run in parallel — a validated shortlist usually arrives on your desk in 7 to 10 working days.

  4. How much does Proof-First Search actually cost?

    There is no upfront retainer. The interview fee — invoiced only if you validate the shortlist within 7 to 10 working days — is absorbed into the final placement fee on hire. Net cost is comparable to a classical retained engagement, with materially less pre-proof exposure. See the Interview-Fee Model page for the full breakdown.

  5. How does this hub coordinate with KiTalent's other hubs?

    Cross-border mandates are co-led between hubs. Turin, New York, Nicosia, and Almaty share a single mandate-management system, common Proof-First protocols, and a unified candidate database. The hub closest to where the role will compete takes the lead; other hubs contribute mapping and outreach in their corridors.
