Delta Top Talent

What Delta Top Talent does

Delta Top Talent (legal entity: Selección y Sinergia Organizacional Delta, S.A. de C.V.) is a Mexico City-headquartered executive search and talent assessment firm founded c. 1994 by Salvador Elizaga, operating with a team of 6 partners and 6 associates. Its core offering is a six-phase "Tailor-Made Executive Search" methodology covering profile definition, market mapping, in-depth evaluation, 360-degree references, reporting, and onboarding integration, targeted at C-suite and VP-level mandates across eight specialized verticals (Manufacturing/Aerospace, Agribusiness, FMCG, Energy, Life Sciences, Technology, Financial Services, Hospitality/Professional Services).

The firm's underlying technology is the Lumina Learning psychometric suite — six tools (Lumina Spark, Leader, Team, Emotion, Select, Sales) — for which Delta Top Talent holds exclusive representation in Mexico and Latin America. These tools are applied across the firm's three revenue streams: executive search (project-based retained mandates), assessment services (hiring/promotion evaluations, team diagnostics, organizational culture), and training programs (leadership development, Hire Like an Expert, talent management workshops). The partner bench is composed of former executives from IBM Mexico, Apple, Procter & Gamble, Revlon, DDI, KoSa, Celanese, and Grupo Qualita, which the firm leverages as a credibility asset with enterprise buyers.

Go-to-market is enterprise sales-led and relationship-driven: no published pricing, with engagements quoted per mandate. The firm operates within a global network alliance with The ExeQfind Group and The QualiFind Group, providing cross-border capability across 40+ countries in the Americas, APAC, and EMEA. It is privately held and founder-owned, with no disclosed institutional investors, no funding rounds, and no M&A activity. Revenue is generated from project-based professional services fees on each retained search, assessment, and training engagement.
