Gilbert Tweed

Gilbert Tweed International is a retained executive search firm founded in the 1970s by Janet Tweed (CEO and Founder) and continues to provide innovative, creative and customised executive search approaches. Women-owned, the firm maintains headquarters in New York City with offices across the United States, India, Brazil, Singapore and beyond. Since inception, Gilbert Tweed has earned an excellent track record of presenting diverse and inclusive candidate shortlists to clients ranging from start-up organisations to large global corporations, serving both public and private sectors.

The firm's approach emphasises clear understanding through thorough listening and questioning to eliminate hiring risk, challenging clients to clarify objectives and develop partnership. Gilbert Tweed provides straight talk, learning candidate and client wants while maintaining confidentiality and rigorous research. The firm employs focused research, organised systematic search and ongoing communication with formalised status meetings and continual updates. Over the years, Gilbert Tweed has established expertise across virtually every major industry and functional area, with specific industry practices in financial services, consumer/retail, industrial, information technology, energy, infrastructure, transportation, life sciences and legal services.

The company has developed three powerful programmes (InSearch, ReloSearch and SpouseSearch) to anticipate candidate objections to relocation and assist in closing searches. Gilbert Tweed promises 'A search that won't fail' and points to repeat business from clients as evidence of success. The firm succeeds through innovation, creativity, tenacity and discretion, understanding that executives thriving in one company may not necessarily thrive in another.
