Medina Haro & Denogean

We are experts in identifying talented professionals that make unique, real and sustainable differences for their organizations.

We concentrate our efforts on those positions that have the biggest impact in the results of our clients.

We base our work on two main capabilities: good judgment and the ability to represent our clients.

Good judgment means being able to identify candidates with the right fit for the culture, challenges and expectations of our clients. Professionals that will produce high-impact, long term contributions to their employers.

Ability to represent our clients means that we can persuade any executive we are interested in, to participate in our search processes. It also means that we carry the name of our clients with respect, and that we will do everything in our power to protect it.

Our track record seems to confirm the fact that we have done it well. We have the highest record of successful closings in the whole Executive Search industry.

 

MISSION

To contribute to making people happier, by helping them find better jobs and better candidates.

VISION

To be the leading independent Executive Search firm in Mexico, based on quality, service, results and prestige.

VALUES

Respect for the dignity of every person. Our clients and candidates have needs, dreams and expectations for a better future. They place in our hands much more than a project. They make us partners of their own success. We cannot put them at risk. We prefer rejecting an assignment we deem we cannot solve successfully, than cause harm to any one of them.

Humility. Our clients know what they want. That is why we spend much more time listening to them, than speaking. When it is necessary, we advise them.  But we focus on satisfying their needs, not ours.

Integrity. We do not lie. We say what we think, even if our clients or candidates may not like what we say. We inform them when we make mistakes. We protect the information that is shared with us. We do not cut corners. We do not compromise on quality. We deliver on our promises.

Serve, serve, serve. Our only reason to exist is to serve our clients and candidates. It is the only thing that matters.
