About Lucas5
A Mexican firm for companies that hire in Mexico
Lucas5 is a headhunting and executive search firm dedicated exclusively to recruiting professionals in the Mexican market. We have operated in Mexico since 2000, and we bring 26 years of experience to every search.
The most valuable talent is rarely on job boards. It is busy, employed and often off the radar. Lucas5 finds it.
Companies based abroad have hired us directly. When a company requires it, we deliver every search report in English.
Nine industries
We search with knowledge of the sector in banking and financial services; life sciences and healthcare; construction and engineering; education; manufacturing; logistics and supply chain; technology and telecommunications; tourism, hospitality and restaurants; and retail and consumer goods.

How we work
We understand your business first. Then we search
Lucas5 seeks to understand your company's business model, its industry, its challenges and the specific context of the position. With that base, the search does not stop at finding a profile that matches a job description: it identifies professionals who can truly fit in and contribute to the business.
Artificial intelligence lets us build a deeper understanding, faster. The tool speeds up the work; the judgment stays with people who have 26 years of experience in the Mexican market.
Culture and values
We want to know your company's culture so that the candidates we present share your values, quality standards, teamwork and response times. A leader can have the right career path and still not match the way your company works. That difference shows up in the interview, which is why values are one of the points we evaluate.
We stay in communication with you throughout the process.
A one-year guarantee on positions at all levels
We stand behind our work with a one-year guarantee on every hire, from specialists and middle management to senior management and general management.
Ethics and values
A placed candidate is never approached
Lucas5 will never approach a candidate it placed for as long as that person keeps working at the same company that hired us.
It is a policy of the firm and it applies to every search.
