About us - API Network

History and Vision

API is a global network founded originally in 1996 and reestablished in Barcelona on the second of July, 2009.

The founders created API to share business and best practices with international colleagues that always work under principles and values.

API, since its foundation is growing with new members that are respected consulting companies specializing in people management and executive search in every country, and whose partners believe in working always with ethics and respect.

At API, we have a long-term vision. Our main target is not immediate profit and turnover; we look for client and candidate satisfaction as well as repeat business.

Our Values

Four main values, among others, are always on our minds:

Respect
Ethics
Sustainability
Honesty

We use our broad experience in people consultancy and the global collaboration with our friends and colleagues within the network to deliver the best service to our customers and professionals.
