    How Berg helped Safi build a global team

    Who is Safi? 

    Safi is transforming the global supply chain for recyclable materials - bringing transparency, traceability, and technology to a traditionally opaque industry. With a mission rooted in sustainability and impact, Safi is scaling a platform that connects partners across the recycling ecosystem.

    As they grew, they needed to build a team that could operate on a global stage.

     

    The Challenge

    Safi wanted to expand rapidly and make hires across Europe, North & South America, Africa, and Asia.

    They weren’t just looking for great people - they were looking for the right people in the right places. From specialized trading roles to inspectors in local markets, each hire required precision, market knowledge, and strong alignment with Safi’s values.

    Managing that kind of global search internally wasn’t scalable. They needed a partner who could move fast, understand their world, and deliver consistently.

     

    The Solution

    Berg partnered with Safi to support more than 20 searches globally, embedding ourselves as an extension of their internal hiring function.

    We’ve worked across key verticals, helping Safi identify and engage talent in roles such as:

    • Commodity Traders
    • Partnerships & Sales
    • Material Inspectors

    From search strategy to candidate management, we’ve helped Safi bring structure, speed, and insight to every search.

     

    The Outcome

    With Berg’s support, Safi has been able to scale hiring globally while maintaining high quality and consistency.

    We helped them build a workforce that’s as agile and future-focused as their mission!
