About HR Partners

HR Partners is an international Executive Search and Recruitment agency founded in 2016 by Maria Shipitsyna, experienced HR and certified professional assessor.
We work with companies across Russia, CIS, Europe, USA, MENA and LATAM, helping them find key talents, leaders, build strong teams and strengthen their HR function.
Every assignment starts with understanding your business, team and culture. We focus on the right fit rather than simply filling a position, and use structured expert assessment to understand how a candidate is likely to perform in your environment.
Many of our clients return with new searches, and we support onboarding and HR processes beyond the hire.
