Executive search firm placing senior leaders across manufacturing, technology, and life sciences globally
Vida Group International is a retained executive search firm founded in 1982 with 51–200 employees and active operations across nine major regions (U.S., Canada, Mexico, Europe, Japan, China, Brazil, India, and emerging Asia/EMEA/LATAM markets). The tech stack reveals a hardware-centric engineering culture (ARM, RTOS, embedded protocols, CAD suites like CATIA and Creo) layered atop a lightweight CRM spine (Salesforce, HubSpot) — suggesting the firm recruits heavily for hardware and manufacturing verticals. Current hiring velocity is accelerating, with 22 roles posted in the last 30 days across sales, engineering, finance, and product, indicating expansion into verticals or geographies beyond their traditional executive search core.
