While many global search firms and networks are still struggling with the low recruitment activity level, IRC Global Executive Search Partners continues to grow and thrive. While the recruitment industry recorded a 50 per cent (or more) drop in business in 2008/9, IRC Global Executive Search Partners are getting kudos. What’s their secret? IRC member firms are: Global reach and relevance As evidenced in its October 2009 annual meeting* in San Diego, USA, IRC Global Executive Search Partners has global experience, caliber and relevance. Significant changes marked IRC Global Executive Search Partners’ evolution from a European-centered membership and Board to a truly global membership and diverse Board with representation from every corner of the world.

Significant Board elections changes include Monicca Yan (Singapore) and Hamilton Teixeira (Brazil) appointed as new Board members – joining Ricardo Barckhahn (Spain) and Pankaj Dutt (India). Mathias Friedrichs (Germany) stepped down as President and Jan Holmstrom (Finland) retired from the Board but remains involved as Treasurer. Sylvia MacArthur (Canada) was voted in as the new President for IRC Global Executive Search Partners’ Board. Six new members include Wall Executive Search (Japan), Active Human Capital Group (United Kingdom), The Executive Network (Western Canada), Insight Group (Australia), HR Consulting (Ukraine) and Lisberg (Denmark).
