Who We Are?

The Russian Connection, with its ExecuSearch International division, is a Western-managed company that provides professional services to major multinational corporations high up in FORTUNE’s Global 500 rankings. We completed our first significant recruitment project for The Coca-Cola Company in 1993 and since then, according to numerous independent surveys, we have become one of the leaders on the local recruitment market. We now run full-service Personnel and Executive Search agencies in Moscow and St. Petersburg. In Russia we also recruit in Nizhny Novgorod, Ekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Vladivostok and other prominent industrial and cultural centers.

We have developed an unmatched track record and superlative experience in corporate recruitment for the Russian and CIS market. We place hundreds of bilingual (English, German, French / Russian) professionals each year, in various fields such as Corporate Management, Finance, Sales & Marketing, Legal, Engineering, IT, Telecom, HR, Administrative and in all industries.
