Long-time Robert Half insider David King will lead its executive search teams in Europe and the Americas.

NYSE-listed Robert Half is one of the world’s largest recruiting firms. It not only offers talent sourcing services but also competes in the technology consulting market through its Protiviti subsidiary. The unit, which employs 11,000 workers, helps clients with tasks such as upgrading legacy software. 

Robert Half’s executive search business helps companies find C-Suite leaders and mid-level managers. One reason finding senior talent is challenging for many firms is that their in-house recruiting teams have a limited geographic reach. Robert Half has an international presence, which gives it access to a larger talent pool. Plus, it can help clients with post-recruiting tasks such as negotiating compensation packages.

King has worked at Robert Half since 1995, most recently as the senior managing director of its Canadian and South American units. He earlier held leadership roles in Canada, Brazil and Chile.
