Executive Recruitment in Cyprus

Emerald Zebra Executive, led by Emerald Zebra’s most experienced consultants, offers a highly confidential and knowledge-driven service for Cyprus’s senior professionals. This division connects executives with prestigious roles as more international companies expand operations to Cyprus.

“Cyprus has long been a hub for international business and continues to attract companies expanding or establishing their presence, including startups, growth companies, SMEs, and multinationals. As the market continues to evolve, demand for senior technical experts, top managers, and C-level executives is on the up, creating new opportunities for executives.”

Key Sectors Driving Growth in Cyprus

The Cyprus market continues to experience growth in:

  • Financial Services
  • ICT & Digital Technologies
  • Emerging Tech and Innovation
  • Fintech
  • iGaming

 

These sectors are attracting companies relocating or expanding into Cyprus. International firms value local talent for their cultural fit, strong work ethic, and loyalty.

 

Why Emerald Zebra?

Established in 2021 with a mission to specialize in recruiting to the fintech, tech, finance and iGaming sectors, Emerald Zebra has built a strong reputation in Cyprus. The executive division’s focus is exclusively on:

  • Senior Technical Positions
  • Executive and Management Roles
  • Non-Executive Directorships and Chairmanships

 

Emerald Zebra’s approach is consultative and discreet.

“We work closely with our candidates, guiding them through market trends and career planning, rather than approaching them unsolicited,”

Competitive Salaries and Market Trends in Cyprus

Historically, remuneration for high-level roles in Cyprus has been lower than in major financial centers. However, emerging trends indicate a shift:

  • Companies are offering competitive premiums—15% to 25% above local rates—to secure top talent.
  • There is growing wage inflation in specialized skill areas, which could affect overall market competitiveness.

"Cyprus remains an attractive destination for both emerging professionals and seasoned executives. Many Cypriots based overseas are joining Emerald Zebra’s local talent pool to stay informed about career opportunities that could facilitate their return."

 

Emerald Zebra’s Talent Database

Emerald Zebra boasts a regional database of over 30,000 professionals, including professionals overseas with sector backgrounds across fintech, financial services, ICT, Tech and iGaming. This is in addition to their team’s extensive network both in Cyprus and internationally,  ensuring that international businesses and local companies can access the executive talent swiftly for available career opportunities in Cyprus.
