Research Capability

As with any executive search firm, we rely on the professionalism and determination of our research team to identify and recruit the very best human capital.

The TRANSEARCH Research Team's philosophy is based on finding the best talent, wherever located, to provide clients with total coverage of the global candidate market. We never consider the project complete until the hired individual starts in the new position.

By methodically mapping key markets and networking to ensure up-to-date industry intelligence, we ensure that the candidates we represent are the very best executives for the position, not merely the most obviously available.

Unique Methodology

Using tools unique to TRANSEARCH we assess the requirements of our clients against specific criteria.

What differentiates TRANSEARCH and translates into meaningful benefits for our clients is how we ensure 'fit’ and leadership balance. 

We use the TRANSEARCH Orxestra® Method (developed by John O. Burdett) to measure six different dimensions of fit which guards against costly mishires. Our proprietary tools provide a unique perspective regarding attraction, culture, performance, leadership, and team  “fit.” And our integration methodology ensures that new leaders are integrated quickly and successfully without breaking stride.

In summary, we believe that success is not measured by whether candidates can do the job, but how successfully and how quickly they deliver results.

We consistently personalise our client outcomes and deliver a powerful experience for every candidate, which in turn energises and magnifies the conversations, ideas and relationships that help lead clients to what's possible and in turn enables us to anticipate our clients' needs.

We are also able to show that our exceptional candidate placement and ‘stick’ rates improve with this methodology, with both rates in excess of 95%.
