Personal service, global reach


Headquartered in London, we operate across over 40 jurisdictions worldwide, encompassing the UK, EMEA, APAC and the USA. Our extensive reach is paired with individual focus, building personal relationships with each client and candidate to understand their interests, needs and ambitions.

Trust is at the core of what we do. We’re not interested in short-term wins. We’re focused on your long-term vision, ensuring that the placements we make drive career progression for our candidates and deliver sustained success for our clients.

The Victus difference


We know that when it comes to specialist roles, a one-size-fits-all approach to recruitment simply doesn’t cut it. At Victus Search we focus exclusively on the sectors in which we have specific domain knowledge, built up over a decade working in the industry.

It’s that level of focus and expertise, paired with our extensive global network, that enables us to source talented, qualified and experienced candidates to fulfil even the most exacting requirements and combinations of skills — for longstanding and successful hires.

Our clients and candidates trust Victus Search for the same reason. We understand the niches in which we operate and the people we work with in unrivalled depth — allowing us to make precise matches that deliver a professional and cultural fit for each role.

“We’re passionate about delivering the optimal outcome for both candidates and clients with every placement. I take pride in the fact that six to twelve months down the line, we hear the same feedback time after time — a professional who has settled into a career-defining role and a client who is delighted with the value they’re bringing to the organisation. That kind of fulfilment is what drives us.”

— Christopher Costi, Director, Victus Search
