Our journey

The story of Horizons Bulgaria

Our development from an international executive search structure to an established independent recruitment and HR services agency.

2003
Establishment

Horizons Bulgaria is founded

Horizons Bulgaria was established in 2003 as a subsidiary of JordanSheppard International to meet client demand for recruitment at expert and middle-management levels.

As part of an international executive search company with a global presence, Horizons quickly established a strong position in executive search in Bulgaria and the region.

2003–2011
Regional development

Expansion and stronger market positions

Headquartered in Sofia, the company initially operated regionally through its own offices in Romania and Serbia and participated in projects in the Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary.

Over the following years, the company’s focus shifted towards the Balkans, where Horizons developed a strong network and leading executive search capabilities.

2005–2008
National reach

New offices and new HR services

Horizons Bulgaria expanded rapidly across the country and became one of Bulgaria’s leading recruitment agencies.

The company opened offices in major cities and invested in the development of additional services and business areas within human resources.

2005–2011
Brand evolution

Specialisation by recruitment level and service

Recruitment activities developed under two distinct brands. Horizons Bulgaria specialised in search and selection for expert and middle-management positions.

Horizons Executive Search delivered direct search and headhunting for senior management, focusing on leaders capable of managing strategic and operational change.

2012+
Independent agency

A broader scope and lasting partnerships

Since 2012, Horizons Bulgaria has operated as an independent recruitment agency headquartered in Sofia, with representation in Ruse for Northern Bulgaria and Plovdiv for Southern Bulgaria.

The company continues to develop strong partnerships in Romania and Serbia while supporting clients through local expertise and regional access to talent.
