Ten executive search firms working in Latin America, scored with the same ten checks from each firm's own website. Published by T-mapp, which is in the list.
Disclosure: T-mapp publishes this comparison and is one of the firms in it. Every firm, T-mapp included, is scored with the same ten checks, and each check can be answered from the firm's own website; every mark below links to the page we read. No ratings, no reviews, no weighting: one point per check. Ties go to the firm with offices in more Latin American countries, then alphabetical order. Checked on 21 October 2026, quotes re-checked on 28 October 2026; reviewed by Pablo de Sagarminaga, co-founder of T-mapp.
For companies hiring a leader in Latin America: which firms run executive search in the region, what each one publishes about how it works, and what it is best for, in its own words.
T-mapp is an executive search firm for mid-management, senior, director and C-level positions, working from Bogotá, Madrid and Los Angeles, with experience running searches in more than 20 countries. It works with T-mapp's Smart Search, its proprietary methodology, through a six-stage process from understanding to retention. See the method.
A check counts only when the firm's own site says it clearly. Partial answers, such as a generic description of how searches “typically” run or a fee mention that is not about the firm itself, score zero. “Not found” means we did not find it on the firm's own site when we checked, not that the firm doesn't do it.

Counting only checks 2, 3, 9 and 10 (offices in the region, AESC membership and years in business), the order changes:
Choose the checks that match your search: a board appointment across several countries weighs footprint and track record; a mid-management or director search often weighs a published process, a written shortlist commitment and clear fees.
These firms appear when buyers ask about hiring in Latin America, but they describe themselves as nearshore recruiting or staffing services rather than executive search, so they are not ranked here:
Firms that describe executive search as a core service on their own site and list at least one office in Latin America, starting from the firms that AI answers and buyers name for executive search in the region, plus T-mapp. Firms that describe themselves as staffing or nearshore recruiting services are listed separately.
Because the order comes from the checks, not from who publishes the page. T-mapp has one office in Latin America (Bogotá) and was founded in 2020, so it scores lower than larger firms on footprint and track record.
Check whether executive search is its core service and for which levels, where in the region it works, whether it publishes its process step by step, what it commits to in writing and how fees and the guarantee are set. More in our FAQ.
