About TNS Partners

TNS Partners' commitment is to provide unparalleled recruiting value by executing projects with such intensity, sensitivity, and integrity that we strengthen our client's organization while, at the same time, enhancing the professional career of each candidate.

TNS Partners follows a detailed seven step search process that places significant emphasis on understanding our client's needs, organizational issues and the critical factors required for success by an outside executive. This results in a comprehensive search specification to ensure that both the client and TNS Partners have a clear grasp of the position and that we have a document that effectively communicates the opportunity and generates interest from uniquely qualified candidates. The secret of the success of TNS Partners' search process is simply an intense focus on executing each step coupled with a constant dialog with both clients and candidates. We do what many other firms only promise and that is we "sweat the details".

Our clients highlight four areas in which they feel TNS Partners is distinguished from other retained search firms:

1. The professional and ethical manner in which we represent them.

2. Total consultant involvement in each step of the process.

3. A keen insight for matching qualified executives with a client's needs.

4. An intimate understanding of our client's business and the relevant strategic, business and organizational issues impacting the position.

Equally important is the feedback from candidates, prospects and sources, highlighting our detailed knowledge of our client's business, a real sensitivity to the prospects and candidates themselves and our efforts to communicate frequently with each individual. These factors, complemented by an extremely talented and dedicated support team, are the core of the Firm's success.
