History

In 1991, national executive search companies from various countries, operating primarily in the field of executive search services, combined to form the Hever Group. Their objective was to conduct cross-border mandates in partnership, whilst maintaining the structure of the individual companies. In 2000, the Hever Group merged with Amrop International to form The Amrop Hever Group. The name was changed to Amrop in 2010.

Amrop currently operates out of 89 offices in 57 countries, including almost all of the countries across the CEE region. Amrop and its 302 Partners generated turnover of $ 250 million with a workforce numbering 840 in 2008.
