Who We Are

Founded over 15 years ago, CIPE HR Recruiters Ltd has grown from a boutique HR Recruiters into a respected global recruitment partner for employers and professionals across Europe, the Americas, Oceania, Eurasia and MEA.

We operate across the full talent spectrum — from C-suite executives and senior professionals to skilled tradespeople and blue-collar specialists — with equal rigour, expertise, and commitment to quality at every level.

Headquartered in Trivandrum, Kerala, India, our consultants bring sector-specific expertise, regional market knowledge, and a commitment to long-term partnership that sets us apart from transactional recruiters.

Executive Search & Blue-Collar Launch

We launched a dedicated executive search division for C-suite mandates, and simultaneously expanded into blue-collar and skilled trades recruitment for construction, energy and logistics clients.

Americas & Oceania Expansion

We extended our reach into the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand — adding Oceania and the Americas to our growing global network.

End-to-End Support

From initial briefing to offer negotiation, visa guidance, and relocation support, we manage every step of the international hiring journey.
