Olympus

About Olympus

Olympus Talent is a specialist global executive search firm operating across 140+ countries, appointing senior leaders in Payroll, HR, Finance and IT Engineering.

We work where hiring is hardest. Clients expanding into markets with no local entity, no local network, and no way to verify what they are being sold. That is the ground we hold.

Key Features

•   Retained Executive Search — Director to C-Suite, Payroll, HR, Finance, and IT Engineering
•   Global Payroll Leadership Search — our founding specialism, 140+ countries
•   Verified Hire Framework — identity and credential verification with a written dossier on every shortlisted candidate
•   Olympus Intelligence — forensic payroll investigation, pre-trust due diligence, internal threat and sensitive corporate investigations
•   Interim and Contract Appointments — senior specialist cover for transformation, implementation and remediation
•   Market Intelligence and Salary Benchmarking — pan-regional pay and structure data for workforce planning.

Every search runs through the Verified Hire Framework — five pillars covering identity, work history, presence, specialist judgement, and a written verification dossier delivered to the client. Built as a direct response to AI-generated candidates, deepfake interviews and synthetic identity risk, and to the deployer liability landing under the EU AI Act.

We also operate Olympus Intelligence, a dedicated forensic payroll investigation and due diligence line: pre-appointment intelligence, internal threat work, and sensitive corporate investigations, delivered on a fixed fee.

Proof, not promises. 98% three-year client retention. 99% offer acceptance. 14-day average time-to-hire. Ten years without a rebate. 15M+ global candidate reach.
