Boutique recruitment consultancy behind hires at some of the world's most recognisable brands.
Retail, luxury, fashion and hospitality. Founded by Ian Gerstein and Beverley Boor, who both had careers in front-facing fashion retail at senior level before moving into recruitment 15 years ago.
They started IB Talent Search to work in partnership with clients across the globe, building truly meaningful relationships based on integrity.
They both understand these markets from an operator's viewpoint, and that view is why they look into the Client's brand as an entire entity, not just the words on the job description.
After a career in fashion, including being the MD of a multi-national fashion business, Ian made a successful transition into Recruitment.
His wide business knowledge has enabled him to build strong relationships with his Clients and therefore to successfully recruit across a broad range of roles.
With family in Dubai, Ian has enjoyed growing his network in the Region, working with some very substantial global luxury, retail and hospitality businesses.
Bev had a very successful retail career, working as a Regional Manager for a number of fashion brands. Her move into Recruitment was just as impressive: she quickly rose to Associate Director level at a large Fashion/retail/luxury recruitment consultancy.
Bev has a huge network of contacts within fashion/luxury/beauty/jewellery/retail. It is her ability to form lasting relationships with her Clients and Candidates that has been the key to her success.
Two directors, depth over volume.
No researchers, no handover to a junior after the pitch. The people you brief are the people who make the calls.
We take on fewer searches than a larger agency and stay on them until the person is settled in role.
Most clients come back for the next role, in the next market. That is the business model.
Honest pay guidance, honest read on each candidate, and a straight answer when a brief is not right for us.
