Our Group
The nucleus of IRC Recruitment was formed in the early 90’s through a joint initiative to service growing international needs of clients. Firms from France, Belgium, Finland, Spain and the UK were initially represented in the consortium. In the fall of 1994 the benefits derived from this loose partnership resulted in a formalized agreement, the official launch of IRC Recruitment and a new impetus to further develop the network. Within a dozen years, our network has grown to provide services in 45 cities, in 25 countries, to an enviable roster of fortune 500 companies. Ranking within the largest 20 firms globally (according to Search Consult magazine), our focus has not been on becoming the biggest, but rather, on becoming the best. To this end, IRC Recruitment has been extremely diligent in vetting potential partners to ensure a consistency of quality standards, client services and business ethics. As a result, our clients, many of whom utilize our services in multiple markets, experience a seamless recruitment and hiring process worldwide.
On average, each of our member firms aggregates 30+ years of executive search experience as well as a depth and breadth of direct industry experience. By having been on the front line in managing varied and complex businesses and developing talent directly, our consultants have a unique understanding of the business challenges facing our clients. As leading executive search firms in their respective markets, each of our members is positioned to provide unparalleled local advocacy along with global reach. This assures that all client assignments benefit from an intimate knowledge of the local business landscape, the services of top regional firms and access to the very best management talent available - worldwide.
These capabilities have resulted in some 500+ clients entrusting IRC Recruitment member firms with in excess of 20,000 search assignments to date, around the world.
