Chemical Industry Recruiters

Who We Are:
Executive Search Firm

TLR Search is a Houston-based executive search firm specializing in chemical recruiting. With a team deeply rooted in experience in the chemical industry, we understand its unique needs and challenges with over 40+ years of combined experience. Our expertise extends to managerial, technical, and executive-level positions, encompassing specialties like petrochemicals, hydrogen, and water treatment, and we specialize in helping large, medium, and small-sized companies hire with tailored talent solutions, aiding clients in growth phases, launching new ventures, or overcoming hurdles with fresh talent.

Expertise and Track Record

 

  • Efficiency in Recruitment: Our streamlined process reduces the average time spent on a search by 10%, leading to quicker placements and reduced costs for our clients.

  • High Engagement Rates: We consistently achieve a 60% engagement rate, well above the industry norm of 20%. How do we know? We analyzed 14 years of data from our search work. What does that mean for you? It means we know how to reach out to the right people with the right message who are engaged and interested in talking about the position or learning more to refer someone.

  • Unique Candidates: With our extensive experience, we excel at identifying and connecting with top-tier candidates in the specific niche our client needs: those who aren't actively seeking new roles and may not think they have time to explore new opportunities. Remarkably, by building a relationship with these candidates, many of our successful placements come from engaging these uniquely qualified individuals.

  • Diversity: Our placements are 40% diverse, well above industry standards, where diversity often falls below 30%. In the last four years, we've also significantly increased female representation in our candidate pool that we present to 45%, surpassing industry averages where female representation typically ranges from 20%. Our presence in the Houston’s women’s energy scene allows us to connect with diverse pools of individuals – female and male a like.

  • Bilingual Talent: 22% of our candidates are bilingual, adding value in global or multicultural markets by bridging communication gaps and fostering better business relationships.
