Track Record & Client Testimonials

I wanted to personally thank you for the great job you and your team and Chemical Search did in assisting us with the hiring a great Area Sales Manager for our Eastern European market. This was a challenging search given the broad territory, language requirements and the particular candidate profile.

Not having an HR presence in Europe, I relied heavily on Chemical Search to provide quality candidates that met our standards which as you know was no easy task. I think I was most impressed by the fact that you seemed to understand the Company’s needs and my particular style.

In the end, I believe we hit our goal nicely on schedule and we met our budget. It has been a distinct pleasure working with you and Alison High. You truly made this effort very easy on me.

I would have no reservation reaching out to the Chemical Search on any search in the future.

Chemical Search International was recommended by industry contacts and impressed us. They invested the time to understand our needs, culture and the subtleties of the assignment. They kept us fully briefed and, following first stage interviews, their insightful written profiles allowed us to select several highly-qualified senior executives for the final stage. In short, they delivered against budget and deadlines, demonstrating a complete commitment to the concept of partnership.

Chemical Search has performed outstanding work for our company in Director-level recruitment and we recommend them. They are highly effective at identifying candidates quickly across many European countries and adept at recruiting for a variety of different functions. We found their write-ups highly insightful and their recommendations proved they understood our needs very well, including the subtleties that make all the difference.

I have worked with Chemical Search now in several capacities. They are highly professional, able to find an excellent range of candidates from several countries and happy to meet exacting deadlines with a smile. They have a good grasp of cultural differences and I have no hesitation in recommending their services.

We presented Chemical Search International with both a highly challenging brief and deadline to find us a senior executive to be located in rural China. They exceeded our expectations in identifying several potential candidates for the role, based globally. They also provided a superior level of support and advice allowing us to engage the selected candidate within the desired timeframe.

Chemical Search International has a well thought out and professional approach. We found their candidate analyses to be insightful, highly consistent with our own evaluations and we were delighted how well candidates matched the character of our company. We also valued their tenacity, excellent support team and ease of communication. We would happily recommend their services.

Stephen carried out an executive search project for me while I was Non-Executive Director of a plastics company. We were looking for a Sales and Procurement Director who would play a critical role in the planned tripling in size of the business. Stephen’s work was exemplary. He not only found a number of excellent candidates, he helped us with the evaluation of strengths and weaknesses, contributed constructively to our assessment of the individuals and speedily helped us resolve any issues which arose. At all times I felt his focus was on what was right for our company and not on his fee. The candidate he placed with us was a great success. I would not hesitate to use Stephen again.

Chemical Search impressed us in several areas. In performing a pan-European search we found their planning to be excellent, communication to be first class and process to be thorough and effective. Their preparation allowed us to move from interview to offer very rapidly and comfortably meet exacting deadlines.

Chemical Search is a first rate executive recruiter who really go the extra mile. They are strong and consultative in helping to crystallise requirements, can pinpoint candidates quickly and display lateral thinking in producing a good range of people to choose from. Their contacts across the plastics world are excellent and we'd recommend them to any company who values professionalism over masses of poorly-targeted CV's!

Having worked with Chemical Search International, we have no hesitation in recommending them to our member companies.

Chemical Search impressed us with the skill and professionalism of their whole team - both front and back office. They were able to recommend an appropriate and highly effective strategy for a European-wide search and performed a first class job of candidate selection, comparison and profiling which met our high expectations. It was a pleasure to work with them.

I can recommend Chemical Search very highly. I have worked with them a number of times and always been impressed by their creative thinking, ability to find great candidates even in areas far from their core business, professionalism, high quality and willingness to do more for the client. For a small company they carry a lot of punch. They also offer a real consulting service and are good people to work with.
