Talent Solution

What Talent Solution does

Talent Solution is a privately held Brazilian HR consulting firm founded in 2005 and headquartered in São Paulo, with a secondary presence in Rio de Janeiro. The firm operates with 17 employees and is led by three partners — Ionio Mello Jr, Marina Vergili, and founding partner Peter Mason — supported by a two-member Advisory Board (Gerson Correia and Rudolf Mayer-Singule). All partners previously held senior consulting or partner positions at global executive search firms including Korn/Ferry International, Spencer Stuart, Fesa, and DBM International, and hold industry-recognized awards for client satisfaction and quality of work.

The company offers an integrated portfolio of seven B2B professional services: executive search (Recrutamento de Executivos), coaching, assessment, outplacement, mentoring (Mentoria), customized training (Treinamentos Customizados), and special HR projects (Projetos Especiais, including strategic compensation research and salary structuring). The firm serves enterprise and mid-market clients across at least twelve verticals in Brazil, including financial services, technology, mining, energy, pharmaceuticals and healthcare, retail and FMCG, industrial/chemical/manufacturing, agribusiness, real estate, telecommunications, professional services, and culture/tourism. The core value proposition combines precise senior-level executive placement, leadership development, talent assessment, and career transition support delivered by senior consultants.

The business model is purely service-based, with no proprietary technology platform. Revenue is generated through project-based and retained executive search engagements, structured coaching and assessment programs, outplacement contracts, and bespoke training and HR strategy projects, all priced via quote-based, customized engagements. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, relying on direct outreach by senior consultants, word-of-mouth referrals, the firm's LinkedIn presence, and its website (talentsolution.com.br). The firm is independently founder-owned, with no external investors, parent company, or disclosed funding events.
