Executive Recruitment The Challenge

A rare bilingual profile,
needed fast.

The client needed a senior buyer fluent in both French and English, with hands-on European wholesale experience and a strong Southern European network — a profile genuinely scarce in the local market.

The role had been open for over three months before FIT in NETWORK® was engaged, with an urgent need to fill it ahead of the new buying season.

"We need someone who understands both the French and Dutch market — and can start within 8 weeks."
