1. Our early beginnings. India’s first executive search firm.
  • PSS was established in 1981 by two brothers, Mario and Clarence Lobo. Having lived, studied and worked across India and completing their management degrees from the Xavier Labour Relations Institute (XLRI) Jamshedpur, they saw a need for senior executive level hiring for India’s small growing companies.
  • We pride ourselves as pioneers of the executive search model of leadership hiring in India, as the country’s first executive search firm.
  1. PSS and Ray & Berndtson partner to provide companies a global executive search offering
  • As India kicked off its economic reforms in 1991, the demand for senior executive hiring expertise was increasing. It spawned the expansion of foreign executive search firms into India.
  • During this time in 1996, we partnered with Ray & Berndtson, an American-headquartered global executive search and the sixth largest international search firm in the world at the time. Our partnership with Ray & Berndtson, sharpened our search expertise capabilities as an organization and allowed us to offer our Indian clients with global aspirations an ability to scout for talent globally. It also provided us an opportunity to serve US and European companies looking to expand into India.
  1. Our evolution as India’s most trusted HR services organisation
  • The year 1995 saw the opening of our first international office in the Middle East in Dubai under the brand Lobo Management to provide recruitment and search services to in the GCC region. At this time, we also diversified outside our senior level executive search offering to offer a contract-staffing and payroll outsourcing for entry-level grey collar employees to large Indian and multi-national companies, under the brand name Lobo Staffing.
  • From 2010-present, we expanded our global presence for executive search and allied services by setting up offices in Singapore and the United States to cater to Indian and global companies in these markets.
