Executive Search en nutrition

I've known Olivier for 20 years and have worked with him on several occasions, notably on the successful recruitment of Board Members in the US. His network and, above all, his intuitive understanding of how to find candidates of the right level and with the right experience are an undeniable asset. Availability and charisma are also his strengths. His knowledge of at least two continents enables him to target candidates from different cultural backgrounds.

Olivier Safir is a very professional executive search partner with unique experience in helping foreign companies hire top executives in the United States. His company, Pact&Partners International, is a boutique search company with true understanding of client needs, coming from more than 15 years of recruitment experience combined with deep knowledge of the US market and the potential pitfalls encountered by foreign companies recruiting top executives there. I have recently seen how Olivier supported the successful recruitment of US leadership for a mid-size European pharma company in record time and with great candidates.

I had the pleasure of working with Olivier and his team at Pact & Partners during a critical phase of our U.S. expansion, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. As a CEO of Treefrog, a European-based biotech company, building a high-performing team across the Atlantic was both a strategic priority and a complex challenge. What truly set Pact apart was their rigorous and thoughtful methodology. From the initial briefing to final placement, their process was structured, transparent, and deeply aligned with our company's values and scientific mission. The quality of the candidates presented was exceptional—each one carefully vetted, well-prepared, and a strong match both technically and culturally.

Working with Olivier and his boutique recruitment firm was a game-changer for Voluntis as we expanded our European-founded company into the U.S. market. Beyond sourcing top talent, Olivier acted as a trusted advisor—helping us shape our hiring strategy, navigate cultural nuances, and build a team aligned with our values. His hands-on, thoughtful approach made all the difference. And on top of it all, he's a genuinely nice person — a pleasure to work with.

It was invaluable to have Olivier Safir's and Pact Partner's advice and wisdom as PDS, our microscopy analytical company for biotherapeutics, grew and entered the global client and venture market out of the Boston life sciences super-hub. Given their strong scientific capabilities, they supported our strategic process by going into great detail on the required skill set and experience level for our team's growth and recruitment process. Their agility, confidentiality, depth and global span made for a superbly productive client experience for us as we learned from the great executives they carefully sourced for us as candidates.

Olivier and his team were instrumental in helping us build our U.S. leadership team. Coming from France, we had a limited understanding of the U.S. job market and recruitment culture. Pact And Partners helped us avoid the common pitfalls that many European entrepreneurs face. Olivier successfully recruited three key members of our U.S. top management team. He also provided compensation benchmarks and market insights that helped us justify higher HR costs to our French board and investors. White-glove, boutique service at a reasonable price — and great people to work with.

I had the opportunity to work with Olivier S. (Pact & Partners) while I was managing Yposkesi, a CDMO specializing in the production of gene and cell therapy products, on the recruitment of Sales Directors to represent us in the U.S. These were critical hires for us, requiring the recruitment firm to identify outstanding candidates — not only in terms of expertise and commercial track record, but also in their willingness to work for a company based in France. Our collaboration with Olivier S. was excellent. He was highly professional throughout the entire process. He fully understood our needs, thoroughly vetted candidates before presenting them, facilitated feedback exchanges after interviews, supported us in negotiating compensation packages, and followed up on the new hires' progress months after they joined. I can wholeheartedly recommend Pact & Partners as a recruitment firm.

Starting with a C-level search for our French company landing in the USA, Olivier has always shown expertise and thoughtfulness in listening to your need, sometimes rephrasing your true need, and tayloring his search to you. So much involved and available it just sounds you're his only client and you have a new partner on your team. Entrepreneur himself, his personal experience and his wide multicultural network are definitely a strength. Beyond everything Olivier is certainly that sort of man you always call back or pay a visit to over the years, knowing the door would be open. And vice versa!

We have worked at repeated occasions with Olivier to fill key corporate and technical positions in our organisation. Olivier has always been able to identify candidates which matched the requirements from the point of view of their competences, but most importantly I was always genuinely impressed by his skill in understanding which candidates would fit best our corporate culture and values and selecting them accordingly. His guidance has always been precious, and even for some of the most difficult assignements he would not give up, be creative and always succeeded in bringing the right candidate.

I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional service provided by Pact & Partner in recruiting a general manager for our company. Your team's dedication and expertise were instrumental in navigating an area that was previously unfamiliar to you. From the initial consultation to the final selection process, Pact & Partner demonstrated a deep understanding of our needs and the specific requirements for the role. The thoroughness and professionalism with which you approached the recruitment process were truly commendable. Your ability to identify and attract top-tier candidates who perfectly aligned with our organizational goals and culture was impressive. Moreover, the support and guidance provided throughout the entire process were invaluable. Your team's responsiveness and willingness to go above and beyond ensured a seamless and successful recruitment experience. The general manager we have hired is already making a significant impact, and we are confident that he will continue to drive our company forward. I would highly recommend Pact & Partner to any organization seeking top-quality recruitment services. Your expertise, commitment, and exceptional service have made a lasting impression on us, and we look forward to working with you again in the future. Thank you once again for your outstanding support.
