Celebrating 30 years in 2012, Tangent is the oldest privately held search firm providing the Washington, DC metropolitan area with retained, contingency search and selective temporary services. Our longevity speaks to our adaptability, deep knowledge of the market, and of course to the quality of our work. We also have a sister office, Tangent West in Denver and Vail, Colorado. We specialize in professional, executive administrative and social media positions. Our clients and contacts are domestic and international, for-profit and non-profit organizations. We seek, recruit and evaluate candidates who stand out among their peers. • Staff of 10 individuals, averaging 15 years of experience • We have earned over 11,000 placement search assignments. • When you work with us on 3 positions our statistics show that we will fill 2 of them. • We source our candidates from recruiting networks, contacts, and a 60,000 person database that has been developed over our 30 years in business. This gives us access to an entire marketplace of employees that are not publicly available. As search professionals, we know it is important to learn more information about a position than salary, hours, benefits and background required. We want to know the scope of the responsibilities, as well as the basic nature and style of the company. That way, we can make the match between talent and opportunity a better and lasting one.
