For over 40 years TRANSEARCH International has, as passionate experts in the executive search and leadership consulting industry, built leadership teams for our clients.<\/p>
We provide executive search, and leadership consulting to businesses and organisations across a wide spectrum of size, maturity and sector. TRANSEARCH International is one of the leading executive search organisations in the world. Headquartered in Europe, we have representation in The Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East and Africa. Our global presence, with over 60 offices in 40 countries, allows us to service companies around the world - covering all the major industry sectors.<\/p>
Our personal commitment to client service excellence is what defines us, what motivates us and also what renews us when we wake every day and help our business partners assess their most critical human capital and leadership needs. And our distinctive and highly personal engagement with superior management candidates is something to which we also commit, ensuring not only a 'red carpet' candidate experience but also a powerful interaction that delivers value and insight for each individual we engage on our clients' behalf.<\/p>
Success, from our perspective, comes from knowing we've leveraged our global team of executive search consultants and the knowledge they bring to help clients gain their own sense of clarity when it comes to investing in the strategy, people and resources that can take them to the next level.<\/p>
Seeing what others fail to recognise or discerning an original way forward into new or uncharted markets requires an open mind and the fearlessness to innovate. Yet achieving this also compels a kind of frank, inquiring business partnership. One informed and elevated by external perspective and an intimate knowledge of what makes your organisation special and which leaders will truly fit. The tools that TRANSEARCH International (powered by Orxestraâ„¢) uses provide a unique perspective regarding culture, performance, leadership, and team "fit". And our integration methodology ensures that new leaders are integrated quickly and successfully without breaking stride. We work closely with our clients to enable us to really tell their story, to know what it is like to be part of high performing teams and to be an ambassador for our clients when speaking with prospective candidates.<\/p>
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.<\/p>","metatitle":"Company - TRANSEARCH","metakey":"company","metadesc":"Company","link":"about-us\/company&parent=147","subMenu":[{"name":"Background","relatedId":"2","link":"about-us\/company-background?parent=147"},{"name":"Leadership Team","relatedId":"81","link":"about-us\/leadership-team?parent=147"},{"name":"Mission and Vision","relatedId":"148","link":"about-us\/mission-and-vision?parent=147"},{"name":"Values","relatedId":"3","link":"about-us\/values?parent=147"}]},{"id":"4","name":"Quality","content":"

As proud members of the (AESC) Association of Executive Search and Leadership Consultants we have adopted the AESC's Candidate Bill of Rights as our own. For more information please contact: www.aesc.org<\/a><\/p>
AESC Candidate Bill of Rights<\/h4>
What should candidates expect from an executive search firm?<\/strong>
The growing number of firms and individuals declaring themselves to be professional executive search consultants has created the need for candidates to be especially diligent when responding to anyone claiming to be an executive search consultant. The shortest possible route to absolute confidence that you are speaking with a trusted firm is to determine whether the firm is a member of AESC. If so, the candidate can be assured that the firm has been carefully vetted and subscribes to the highest ethics and standards in the profession. What are your rights and obligations as a candidate? <\/p>You can expect the following from TRANSEARCH International as an AESC member search firm.<\/p>
I. Full Disclosure:<\/span> Once you have been identified as a candidate for an executive position, the firm\/consultant will provide full and open disclosure on the nature of the position and client organisation.<\/p>
II. Exclusivity:<\/span> The firm\/consultant has an exclusive agreement with the client organisation, authorised by the client to find an individual who is a precise fit for a specific position. Without this exclusive agreement, executive level candidates could find their resumes floated to random clients, or as part of a large pool of undifferentiated candidates.<\/p>
III. Confidentiality:<\/span> The unintended disclosure of an executive's interest in a new position can be highly disruptive - even catastrophic. The executive search firm\/consultant protects the confidentiality of the candidate's interest and other information.<\/p>
IV. Communication:<\/span> Because of the high-stakes nature of senior executive turnover, an executive search assignment frequently takes several months. Out of respect for the candidate, the search consultant will provide timely progress updates as the search progresses and will be highly responsive to candidate inquiries. The consultant will also provide an honest appraisal of where the candidate does and does not seem to be a fit and will be forthcoming if the client chooses to end the candidacy.<\/p>
V. Professionalism:<\/span> Executive search assignments are conducted at the highest levels, and candidates for these roles have pressing demands on their time. A professional firm or consultant will treat every candidate with professionalism.<\/p>
Conclusion<\/h4>
Many candidates find the search process very rewarding, regardless of the outcome. With the guidance of a top executive search firm, candidates have the chance to explore their own interests and aptitudes, and even hone their interview and negotiation skills. In the end, it's always a win. A candidate either has a new challenge within a new organisation or has become a known entity to a reputable search firm, which could open other doors.<\/p>
AESC provides a wealth of additional information for candidates, including career consultation and online executive seminars through its career management service for senior executives, BlueSteps.

Introducing new leaders can have a significant impact on market perception, consumer confidence and employee engagement. Choosing the right executive search firm is a critical business decision with long-term impact. What are your rights and obligations as a client?<\/p>
For more than 50 years, the Association of Executive Search and Leadership Consultants (AESC) has set the standards for the profession. AESC members are ethical, experienced and committed to excellence. You can expect the following when working with TRANSEARCH International as an AESC member.<\/p>
1. We provide our clients with an accurate and candid assessment of its capabilities to perform your search.<\/h4>
That assessment includes a firm's internal resources, knowledge of the function and industry in which the search will be conducted, and an understanding of the client's cultural or regulatory environment.<\/p>
2. We are forthcoming about the client team.<\/h4>
Clients should be sure to meet with the individual consultant and the team who will handle the search assignment. <\/p>
3. We develop a thorough understanding of the organisation and its hiring objectives.<\/h4>
Effective, successful searches require that the consultant possess a deep knowledge and understanding of a client's unique executive talent needs, organisational culture, customer strategy and regulatory challenges. <\/p>
4. We provide a high-level consultative relationship.<\/h4>
An executive search firm works in partnership with a client to help define the assignment, identify candidates, assess using sophisticated methodology and select those best suited through comprehensive, quality-assured search processes. <\/p>
5. We hold client information in strict confidence.<\/h4>
The executive search process requires that clients divulge highly sensitive information. The ethical search consultant treats any and all information with the utmost confidentiality while still providing necessary information to candidates. <\/p>
TRANSEARCH International strictly adheres to the AESC Code of Professional Practice and Standards of Excellence and have made a commitment to protecting client and candidate confidentiality, thereby preserving our own integrity and that of the profession.<\/p>
6. We provide clients with regular, detailed status reports on the progress of the search.<\/h4>
Depending on the position to be filled, the availability of talent, and a host of other factors, a successful search can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months. <\/p>
7. We present qualified candidates who fit the position and the culture of the client organisation.<\/h4>
Executive search consultants present a range of qualified candidates, and for each candidate the effective firm presents:<\/p>
- Experience and achievements relative to the position to be filled<\/li>
- Education and background<\/li>
- Intellectual, interpersonal and motivation competencies<\/li>
- Personal strengths and weaknesses with respect to the position to be filled <\/li>
- Perceived cultural fit<\/li>
- Interest in the position and remuneration and financial expectations<\/li><\/ul>
One aspect of the search consultant's partnership with clients is assisting with their internal review of candidates, including interviewing techniques that avoid unconscious gender bias.<\/p>
8. We are invested in the entire process and help the client negotiate with the final candidate.<\/h4>
Once a client has selected a final candidate, the role of the executive search consultant evolves from that of search agent to negotiator and communicator. <\/p>
We recognise that our behaviour reflects directly on the client, and can influence the likelihood that a candidate will accept the client's offer.<\/p>
9. We provide the clients with a clear understanding of any replacement policies and other unusual situations that may arise during and after the search.<\/h4>
Our executive search consultants provide in writing an explanation of the firm's policy regarding possible outcomes. <\/p>
10. We commit to follow-through.<\/h4>
As a trusted advisor, our responsibility does not end when the candidate accepts an offer. As your committed partner:<\/p>
- Assists with onboarding and integration<\/li>
- Contributes to a smooth transition for candidates<\/li>
- Remains in communication with the new hire for a period of time for support <\/li>
- Determines with the client that a search is indeed concluded<\/li><\/ul>
How can clients maximise the value of the relationship?<\/h4>
Because executive search is a specialised form of management consulting, retaining an executive search firm for an exclusive assignment is a strategic decision. In order to maximise the benefit of that relationship, clients:<\/p>
- Select an executive search partner with tremendous care and diligence<\/li>
- Set clear expectations and establish an understanding of the agreement with special attention to conflicts, restrictions, and other provisions<\/li>
- Provide full and accurate information on the position and the organisation<\/li>
- Proactively address concerns during the course of the assignment<\/li>
- Communicate fully, clearly, and openly<\/li><\/ul>
Conclusion<\/h4>
The competition for top executive talent is intense, and the stakes have never been higher. Trust and integrity are at the core of a successful relationship and a successful search. Clients are wise to choose gold-standard firms at the top of the profession and should partner only with firms that are committed to professional excellence in executive search and leadership consulting: members of AESC.<\/p>

TRANSEARCH International embraces diversity and seek to promote the benefits of diversity in all of our business activities. We continuously develop a business culture that reflects that belief. We strive to make sure that our clients meet their own diversity targets.<\/p>
TRANSEARCH International is committed to diversity and will promote diversity for all employees, workers and applicants and adhere to such a policy at all times. We will review on an on-going basis all aspects of recruitment to avoid unlawful or undesirable discrimination.<\/p>
TRANSEARCH International treats everyone equally irrespective of sex, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, marital or civil partnership status, age, disability, colour, race, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion or belief, political beliefs or membership or non-membership of a Trade Union or spent convictions and places an obligation upon all staff to respect and act in accordance with the policy. We are furthermore committed to providing training for its entire staff in equal opportunities practice.<\/p>
Our Diversity and Inclusion Code of Conduct underpins gender diversity and best practice for related search and leadership consulting activities.<\/p>
Code of Conduct: Provisions<\/h4>
1. Succession Planning:<\/span> TRANSEARCH supports chairpersons and their nomination committees in developing medium-term succession plans that identify the balance of experience and skills that they will need to recruit for over the next two to three years to maximise leadership effectiveness. This time frame will allow a broader view to be established by looking at the whole organisation, not individual hires; this should facilitate increased flexibility in candidate specifications.<\/p>
2. Diversity Targets:<\/span> When taking a specific brief, TRANSEARCH looks at overall composition of the team and, in the context of the organisation's agreed aspirational goals on gender balance and diversity more broadly, explore with line management and human resources if recruiting women is a priority on this occasion.<\/p>
3. Defining Briefs:<\/span> In defining briefs, TRANSEARCH ensures that significant weight is given to relevant skills, underlying competencies and personal capabilities and not just proven career experience, in order to extend the pool of candidates beyond those with existing similar roles or conventional corporate careers.<\/p>
4. Long lists:<\/span> When presenting their long lists, TRANSEARCH ensures that at least 30% of the candidates are women - and, if not, explicitly justifies to the client why TRANSEARCH is convinced that there are no other qualified female options, through demonstrating the scope and rigour of our research.<\/p>
5. Candidate Support:<\/span> During the selection process, TRANSEARCH provides appropriate support, in particular to first-time candidates, to prepare them for interviews and guide them through the process.<\/p>
6. Supporting Candidate Selection:<\/span> As clients evaluate candidates, TRANSEARCH ensures that we continue to provide appropriate weight to intrinsic competencies and capabilities, supported by thorough referencing, rather than over-valuing certain kinds of experience. TRANSEARCH, as necessary, advises our clients on how to run their interview process to demonstrate the required rigour and professionalism and to avoid unconscious gender bias.<\/p>
7. Integration:<\/span> TRANSEARCH provides advice to clients on best practice in integration and 'on boarding' processes to help new executives settle quickly into their roles.<\/p>
8. Embedding Best Practice:<\/span> TRANSEARCH ensures that best practices in supporting clients on enhancing gender diversity are well documented and shared internally and that adherence to the Code is effectively monitored.<\/p>
9. Signalling Commitment:<\/span> TRANSEARCH signals our commitment to supporting gender diversity through our website and marketing initiatives as appropriate and invests time into developing relationships with the pipeline of future female candidates.<\/p>
