Tandem Search

Tandem Search is a global recruitment and executive search firm covering six specialist sectors: banking and financial services, strategy and consulting, emerging technology, legal and professional services, asset management, and power and capital infrastructure. Its clients include banks, consulting firms, the Big 4, unicorns, global asset managers and sovereign wealth institutions, as well as NGOs and government institutions.

The firm took the Tandem Search name in 2023 as the new identity of the merger of NSI and Bluefin Talent. Bluefin Talent was established in London in 2013, and NSI Technology began in Dubai in 2010 before NSI became an independent recruitment business. The co-founders are Monal Chhapia and Deepak Bhavsar, and Bhavsar leads the executive search practice, which focuses on partner level placements.

It has offices in London, Dubai, Singapore, Riyadh and San Ramon in the USA. It says its footprint covers developed, emerging and frontier markets, including the UK, USA, Australia, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Sub-Saharan Africa. In 2024 it launched Tandem Interim, which places specialised contract talent.
