Alejandro Davison Méndez

More than 10 years of experience working as a headhunter, specializing in Tier 1 and Tier 2 automotive industry in Mexico.

I develop and maintain over the years a good business relationships mainly with German and American companies managing the relationship with the VP of Operations North America, Global COOs, and Plant General Managers.

I focus on recruiting Plant General Managers, Operations Managers, Production Managers, Quality Managers, Engineering Managers, Plant Controllers, Plant HR Managers, Maintenance Managers, Purchasing Managers, Supply Chain Managers and Program Managers having a track record over 100 placements in the last 10 years.

These past seven years as a freelancer, I have run my recruiting practice in Automotive industry in Mexico from different parts of the world, such as Colombia, Argentina, Costa Rica, Canada, Spain, Germany, Poland, Denmark, and Norway, without any problems due to time differences with Mexico or performance issues.

I feel like a tenured digital nomad, and in the course of these seven years, I have come to manage a group of up to four recruitment consultants from different parts of the world.

Performance Talent Consulting International is a branch of Ward Howell International.

I was the leader of the Automotive Tier 1 and 2 practice for Latin America, the Head of the Mexico City office, and I managed two Senior Recruitment Consultants, each with over 10 years of experience.

I was personally in charge of Business Development and Account Management activities, and I developed a team to provide support to the recruiting area.

I developed the automotive practice from scratch, and after two years, I left a profitable business.

I started my career at Michael Page as a headhunter, being responsible for the Automotive Tier 1 and 2 practice (Business Development, Account Management and Recruitment) in high industrial states in Mexico, such as Querétaro, Guanajuato, San Luis Potosí, and Puebla.

Within a year, my business development techniques became a benchmark for other new consultants. I start as an individual contributor and end as a leader of one consultant.

After I spent 1.5 years in Backoffice Sales, the VP saw potential in me to be in Frontoffice as an Account Executive.

In the first year, I increased the revenue of my territory by 30% by focusing my attention on those big, lost customers.

I was responsible for providing actionable insights to a sales force of over 150 sales executives about their pipeline and sales, helping the VP of Sales and Sales Directors understand their numbers to make better decisions about where to focus their people efforts.

I started as an individual contributor and ended up managing 2 sales analysts.
