One of the first Executive Search companies in the Turkish Market

Our history started in 1991 with Nicholson International name, as the first international search firm in the region. After nearly 30 years of partnering with world’s leading multinationals and Turkey’s most innovative companies, we became the longest-running executive search consultancy firm in Turkey, providing top-notch end-to-end solutions. Having lived through many business cycles, we have grown into a mature and confident firm.

We are combining extensive international experience with a deep understanding of the local market and culture since the beginning. As a first mover of the field, we influenced the way executive search has grown into a recognized and sophisticated consulting business which has now become a choice of a profession for many Turkish business consultants.
