Testimonials

What I love, after all the exhaustive work of searching for that special candidate and finally placing them, is to see them flourish and really come into their own within our clients’ organizations.

Gustavo García Brusilovsky Co-Founder & CEO, Klikin (former CEO & co-Founder, BuyVIP)
HVO Search has done an outstanding job for Michael Kors, helping us to build a part of our international team with highly talented people.

[Maria's] honesty, integrity and commitment to service make her an absolute pleasure to work with.

Cedric Wilmotte SVP - Michael Kors, Europe
In a business where you are only as good as your last placement, where real candidates are as scarce as real opportunities, I wanted HVO Search to stand out. To be relevant to the industries it serves. And I strongly believe this can only be achieved by remaining bespoke and by focusing on what really matters to our selected clients.

Maria Hvorostovsky Director - HVO Search
Working with Maria has been a pleasure – not only does she get the job done with efficiency, professionalism and business acumen but she also executes with sensitivity and respect.

[Maria's] understanding goes beyond assessing skills and experience, she has a great feel for talent.

Peter Skelton Commercial Director - Quiksilver, Europe
With her no-nonsense approach, ability to unearth the best talent, and ensure they truly fit the business, I would highly recommend Maria.

Stephen Le Bot HR Director Europe - Quiksilver, Europe
Maria understands our business objectives, the brand, culture and whilst being incredibly professional really gets what makes people and teams 'click'.

John Harman Managing Director, Calvin Klein, Italy
[Maria] has been indispensable in bringing exceptional talent who today are making our business successful. And she is fun to work with.

Nicolas Foulet General Manager, Digital & Entertainment - Quiksilver, Europe
Every search firm has a "global network", "a talent pool". Nothing really new here. But what I really do love about my job, and what I try to put at the core of any search, is understanding what the client wants to achieve, how he/she wants to grow and what the candidate must really bring.
