AP Executive Search, a headhunting company, continues its expansion and opens an office in Italy

The new office is located in Rome and is already fully operational.


Madrid, July 27, 2023 – The photovoltaic solar energy market is taking off in the Alpine country, and AP Executive Search is bringing its expertise in recruiting professionals, both technical and senior executives, to contribute to the development stages of photovoltaic projects.

Founded in 2019 by leading experts in promoting solar and wind projects since 2000, the company exclusively focuses on talent acquisition in the renewable energy sector. This specialization has allowed them to provide excellent service to major companies operating in the Spanish market, where they have become a sector leader.

“Spain is a global leader in photovoltaic solar energy, and this is where we have gained all our experience. It’s that know-how, that understanding of the recruitment processes, the profiles required for each position, that we want to transfer to Italy,” says Alberto Pérez Ruano, CEO of AP Executive Search.

Their efforts are now focused on replicating the processes they already use in Spain to achieve the same results in Italy. “The formula for filling positions will be the same, but we are aware that the requirements, talents, and recruitment processes are different in Italy. We have been filling positions there for a year and a half from our office in Madrid, and we know the sector very well,” points out the CEO.

To replicate the processes and also address the specificities of the Italian market, the company has assembled a team of local and senior professionals with extensive experience in recruiting personnel for renewable energy companies in Italy.

Their proposition is to provide comprehensive support to utility teams, energy producers, and promoting or development companies, both in Italy and neighboring countries, or even for Spanish companies looking to develop photovoltaic projects there.

“Italy is at a moment where everything is to be done in solar energy. Companies in the development stages of photovoltaic projects need to build teams of qualified professionals, both technical and senior executives, to ensure the success of their investments,” comments Pérez Ruano.

AP Executive Search has its main headquarters in central Madrid, where they have a team of 25 individuals dedicated to finding the best talent in renewable energies. The company is part of UNEF and APPA Renovables, the Renewable Energy Business Association.
