“We have worked with International Talent Partnership to support a number of critical hires across the US within the industrial refrigeration market. From the outset, our relationship has been built around trust, accountability and a shared commitment to finding the right solution, rather than simply filling vacancies.
Our partnership with Joe and Thom has developed through a retained recruitment model, which has enabled a much deeper level of collaboration. By working closely together from the beginning of each search, Joe and Thom have been able to develop a detailed understanding of our business, the challenges we face and exactly what success looks like for each appointment. That level of alignment has given us confidence to involve them in some of our most important and challenging hiring projects.
Joe and Thom take real ownership of the searches they work on. They are solution-focused, highly committed and relentless in their approach, particularly when operating in specialist markets where the right talent can be difficult to identify and engage. When challenges arise, their response is not simply to present more candidates, but to understand what needs to change, provide honest market feedback and adapt the search strategy accordingly.
The retained approach has also created a level of transparency that we value greatly. We have regular, open conversations around market conditions, candidate feedback, compensation, competitor activity and the overall progress of each assignment. There is a genuine sense that both sides are working towards the same objective, with Joe and Thom operating as an extension of our team rather than as external recruitment providers.
Most importantly, Joe and Thom have earned our trust. We know that when we give them responsibility for a critical hire, they will represent our business professionally, stay committed to the assignment and continue working until the right solution is found. They are equally credible with our leadership team and with candidates in the market, and that consistency has been an important part of building a successful long-term partnership.
Our relationship with International Talent Partnership has become increasingly collaborative as that trust has developed, and the retained model has played a significant role in that. It has allowed us to move beyond a traditional client-recruiter relationship and build a genuine recruitment partnership focused on delivering the right long-term outcomes for our business.“
