FIND HR

What FIND HR does

FIND HR is a São Paulo-based executive search and advisory consultancy founded in 2016 by Philipp Reisinger and Fabio Gabbay, specializing in recruiting C-level, VP, and senior leadership with "digital DNA" for enterprises and digital-native companies across Latin America. The firm serves clients in 14 industry verticals including Technology, Financial Services, Banking, Insurance, Retail, Consumer Goods, Telecom, Media, Logistics, Agribusiness, Energy, Education, Health, and Games, with named engagements at iFood, Shopee, Morgan Stanley, Porto Seguro, PagBank, Eletrobras, Bracell, Citrosuco, Alpargatas, MadeiraMadeira, Elo, Dafiti, Semantix, CloudKitchens, Contabilizei, Digibee, Swile, FacilitaPay, and Omnibees. FIND HR reports 200+ cumulative clients, 50,000+ professionals interviewed, 70% of Brazilian unicorns as clients, and an 85% two-year retention rate for placed executives. The firm has been recognized by Leaders League for four consecutive years as Brazil's reference firm for technology executive search.

The firm's core technology is anchored by two proprietary frameworks: the DRFI 3-step methodology (Sensitive, Responsive, Objective) that guarantees qualified finalists within 30 days with a replacement guarantee, and DRIX (Digital Readiness Index), a five-dimension assessment tool measuring adaptability, continuous learning, digital autonomy, distributed collaboration, and data-driven mindset. Supporting intellectual property includes the FIND Insights market intelligence platform and the FINDCAST podcast/video series, which has surpassed 100,000 YouTube subscribers. The DRIX framework is operated as a standalone assessment product via a dedicated web subdomain, and FIND Insights is positioned as a salary benchmark and executive search market intelligence offering for leaders and companies.

FIND HR generates revenue exclusively through client-paid professional service fees under a quote-based, multi-year engagement model priced by role seniority, industry specialization, and geographic scope. Distribution is direct enterprise sales — senior consultants and partners engage CEOs, CHROs, and boards through consultative sales motions, with no intermediaries, resellers, or marketplace channels. Top-of-funnel demand is generated through content marketing (FINDCAST, blog, SEO across 14 vertical industry pages, LinkedIn presence, and newsletter), while a 200+ client referral network and high placement retention sustain mid-funnel conversion. The company is privately held, bootstrapped with no disclosed venture or private equity funding, and operates with 11-50 employees from a single headquarters in São Paulo's Brooklin district.
