Expanding global executive search boutique

13.12.2010: New member firm welcomed into global alliance

IRC Global Executive Search Partners (IRC) continues to expand its global executive search boutique alliance, and welcomes Hunt Executive Search as a new member firm. The North Carolina-based company specializes in the consumer products industry, including personal care, food and beverage, OTC pharmaceuticals, household and automotive, nutritionals and durables.

“We believe Hunt Executive Search’s focus on a culture of initiative, integrity, teamwork and trust reflects IRC’s integrated approach as an exclusive global executive search boutique alliance,” comments Sylvia MacArthur, president of the Executive Board of IRC Global Executive Search Partners. “Our purpose is to internationally harmonize recruitment processes in order to provide unsurpassed quality management in search and selection activities.”

Hunt Executive Search, with more than 20 practice areas of industry, functional and geographic specialization, offers its clients direct access to individual and institutional knowledge. In addition to consumer products, Hunt Executive Search’s expertise includes life sciences, packaging, specialty and industrial chemicals, building products and professional services.

As Joseph Hunt, senior partner, says: “Our deep commitment to stay abreast of industry developments means being actively engaged in the business – as respected keynote speakers, and involved with the relevant trade associations.” Hunt Executive Search has a strong track record in multiple verticals. “We can’t be all things to all people,” says Mr. Hunt. “While we only work with “A” Players at the CXO, General Management and VP leadership levels, our retained executive search service functional verticals include sales, marketing, product supply, manufacturing, R&D, finance and human resources.“

“We realize the need to be globally diversified,“ he adds. “We currently conduct assignments for clients in more than 100 cities worldwide, including those in the emerging markets. However, we want to offer our clients a seamless, globally integrated service, which is why we are delighted to be welcomed as a new member firm in the IRC Global Executive Search Partners alliance.”
