Recruitment
From thorough analysis to sustainable match
Attracting and hiring the right people is critical to the success of any company. At SAM International, we have specialized in recruitment and executive search for over 30 years – and we know what it takes to find the new colleague who not only meets the professional requirements of the role but also fits into your company culture.
A new colleague only creates real value when their professional and personal competencies align with the company’s strategy and direction. That’s why we dive deep into your needs, your organisation, and the market you operate in – to ensure a human match that lasts and motivates over the long term.
We look always for:
- Job fit
We guarantee that a candidate’s experience, expertise and approach are tailored to your organisation’s specific needs. The candidate has to have the knowledge, mindset and problem-solving capacity to excel in this specific role, under the specific conditions of your company.
- Team fit
Even top performers fail in environments where they don’t sync with their team. We find people who enhance — not disrupt — the group dynamic. We believe that candidates should communicate effectively, understand team goals, and contribute to a healthy, high-trust working culture.
- Culture fit
Skills can be developed; values cannot. We ensure that the candidate is aligned with your mission, beliefs and ways of working. Candidates who align with your purpose show up consistently with commitment and drive – day after day.
- Future potential
Hiring the right person means looking beyond the present — it’s about how they will shape and elevate your company’s future. We identify candidates with the drive, curiosity and adaptability to grow, so you are not just hiring talent — you are investing in your company’s future.
We cover all industries and positions
We recruit for all types of industries and positions – from specialists to managers and C-level executives.
We do this with a strong consulting team that combines solid business experience with deep insight into specific areas of expertise. Whether you work in IT, pharma, energy and utilities, manufacturing, or something entirely different, we have an advisor with the right industry understanding.
We use both targeted search and our extensive network, and we work in a structured way, always with a focus on the whole person. Because a strong match only happens when candidates not only can do the job but can also see themselves in the role – and in your company’s future.
With offices across Europe, we also offer cross-border recruitment with local experts and a single point of contact – giving you a smooth process and a strong, international setup.

Onboarding and Development
Great recruitment doesn’t stop when the contract is signed. A proper start is crucial for how a new employee thrives, performs and stays in the company.
That’s why we offer tailored onboarding that ensures a smooth transition and strong team integration. We follow up, make adjustments and ensure that both company and employee succeed.
We also support leadership and team development – through assessments, coaching, and tools that strengthen both personal and professional skills.
When people grow, the company grows too.
Let’s find you a suitable candidate today to develope your business in the direction you want!

Assessment for a sustainable match – in the recruitment and development processes
A good match is not just about experience and professional qualifications. Personality, motivation and work behaviour are crucial factors in determining whether a candidate will thrive, stay motivated and perform. That’s why assessment (or testing) is a natural part of our process.
We offer assessment programmes that provide insight into personality, workplace behaviour and preferences – for example, through in-depth five-factor personality tests; cognitive tests that show how a person learns and makes decisions; or motivation analyses that reveal key drivers and engagement levels.
By combining testing with interviews and other relevant data, we provide an objective and nuanced evaluation – offering clarity and confidence for both the company and the candidate.
Use our assessment services when:
- You want to strengthen selection in a recruitment process – even if you’ve found the candidate yourself
- You need input on an internal promotion or a leadership appointment
- You require a professional assessment process for outplacement, coaching or leadership team development
Wherever you are in the process, we are ready to create value. We always tailor the programme to your specific needs and deliver a clear foundation for decision-making – with respect for both people and companies.
A good match doesn’t happen by chance – it’s the result of insight.
