At an increasingly rapid pace, our business environment is getting converged and the boundaries between industries are becoming blurred. Much more dynamic competition makes it difficult for incumbent organizations to cope with these changes and to move faster than others.

Pathfinder helps you to analyze your organization's needs and secure visionary leaders who can drive innovation for the future so that you can respond quickly and effectively to these changes and lead the industry.

We believe simple searching and offering a talent pool is not enough. Instead, we provide a targeted acquisition based on a specific analysis of the industry and job by understanding industry trends and clients' strategic direction.

So we work with the client's HR team, carrying out a dedicated role based on a retainer agreement.
