AIMS International Malta

AIMS International Malta is a specialist recruitment and talent advisory firm in the heart of Valletta, working with organisations that range from growing local businesses to established companies and international groups. Its main sectors are accounting and professional services, operations and technology, which makes it a useful first contact for anyone looking to hire, or be hired, in Malta's corporate services, finance and industry. It is listed in our directory of recruitment agencies in Malta.

Executive search, recruitment and selection

The core service is executive search, recruitment and selection at every level, from a critical leadership post to a specialist team or a steady flow of ongoing hires. The approach starts with the business behind the vacancy: its goals, culture, team dynamics and the qualities a person needs to succeed. The aim is a lasting match rather than simply a filled position.

Vacancies advertised on the firm's website show the kind of work involved: accountants and senior accountants for corporate service providers, financial advisors, human resources and payroll administrators, compliance and money laundering reporting roles, engineering and maintenance managers for manufacturing clients, and receptionists and administrators. Roles are tagged by region of Malta and as full time. Candidates can search these jobs in Malta by region, register, and upload a CV, while employers describe the post and the profile they want so the consultant can brief the search properly. Recruitment of this kind is confidential, and the consultants are available to guide both clients and candidates throughout the process. Readers curious about the finance side can see how the sector fits together in our guide to financial services in Malta, and our featured partner CLA Malta is one example of a corporate services firm of the type that recruits in this field.

Succession planning, talent management and payroll

Beyond recruitment, AIMS helps organisations identify, develop and keep key people through tailored talent management programmes and succession planning. This is particularly relevant for family businesses preparing for a leadership handover, and the firm's insight articles cover topics such as the EU Pay Transparency Directive as it is enacted in Maltese law, women on boards, and the legal and tax implications of transferring ownership. Business owners who want the tax background can read our guide to Malta's corporate tax structure.

The payroll service is an outsourced solution delivered with a specialist payroll team. It covers the monthly cycle, including gross-to-net calculations, income tax and social security, bonuses and commissions, electronic payslips, bank payment files and statutory returns such as FS5, FS3 and FS7 forms. It also supports onboarding of new employees, terminations and final pay, annual compliance and reporting, with separate Jobsplus administration and payroll advisory available.

Team and international reach

The firm is led by Louise Vella, Managing Partner, with partners Thomas Jacobsen and Chris Armstrong and a team of consultants and junior consultants who each focus on a sector. Its values are integrity, accountability, honesty and approachability. It is a member of the AIMS International network, which gives access to talent beyond Malta for specialised or niche positions and supports cross-border recruitment for Maltese businesses and professionals exploring a move.
