With a degree in psychology and a master’s in human resources, Adela Villaverde had all the ingredients for executive search from very early in her career. Since then, it’s been onwards and upwards, leading HR departments in a range of industries before directing her comprehensive skill set towards recruitment.

Adela joined Page Executive in April 2022, attracted by the commitment to setting new goals to match the rapid flux of her specialist industries. As a Partner based in Spain, she's made her mark, excelling in recruiting for engineering and manufacturing businesses as well as human resources companies of all sizes.

With her HR background, she has an intricate knowledge of how organisations recruit from the inside, so it’s no surprise that past clients praise her acute understanding of their needs. Adela sees each new executive search project as an opportunity to create a connection with an organisation and add to her already extensive knowledge and network. Learning from every assignment helps her build synergies across industries and recognise the potential of profiles beyond the obvious choices.

Adela puts communication at the heart of all she does, which has helped to build her reputation for close working relationships with clients that last beyond the initial assignment. Her transparent approach will keep you in the loop with the what and the why of each profile she presents, building trust and delivering results.

It's not hard to see how Adela has built her reputation as an empath who puts her clients first. As a loving mother with five children at home, considered, diplomatic communication is in her veins.

Testimonials

I contacted Adela through market references; I was told that she wasn’t your typical headhunter. Her approachability, involvement, and ability to truly own the process were the reasons we opened the first position, which was the Human Resources Director role. Since that position three years ago, she has helped us transform and improve various strategic roles within the company. From a partner perspective, her service-oriented mindset, expertise, and ability to quickly learn about new projects have made those projects successful. In short, she is someone we trust to manage our human capital, which is undoubtedly one of the key differentiators in organisations.

I have worked with Adela on several processes, and due to her management skills and flexibility in adapting to the client's timeline, we have always achieved very good results. She is characterized by being skilled and resourceful when it comes to presenting different profile options that fit our needs. Her client-oriented approach is her most distinctive feature. During the search, she fully understands the profile and culture of the company, which is key for us. From this understanding, she manages to meet deadlines and requirements, helping us close complex processes successfully.
