Once upon a time there was a talent hunter. Always involved in bold business ventures, he has the reputation of being an entrepreneur of great flair. The style: unmistakable. The stubborn insistence with which he seeks success: discomfort for some.

His name is José Caetano Silva and he is the ex-Partner of Ray & Berndtson, one of the most respected executive search multinationals operating in Portugal, and he has just created his own headhunting company – Talent Search. The tiger is sharpening its claws. It is preparing to bring the new company all the astuteness and sharpness that have been its brand image.

The slogan of Talent Search? “We do not manufacture talents, but we find them wherever they are”, responds José Caetano Silva. “Like gold miners. In this sector it is do or die. Dog fight dog”.

So how will another company specialising in executive search survive? José Caetano Silva is already negotiating to associate his company with an international group. “I have no intention of creating a small company in a small country”, he explained.

Next objective? To continue to listen to the voice of the market and to not lose track of long-standing clients. Some have already accompanied him. “They are regular and faithful clients”.
