“From the first phone call to the one that extended me an offer, I was treated like I was the only candidate. Nicole Knapp was always upfront with me and very thorough. Being a hiring manager and now a President for an organization, the candidate experience is #1. I couldn't have asked for a better candidate experience. Nicole's approach was to educate, coach, and ask -- educate me on the role and expectations -- coached me through hurdles and potential barriers-- asked me questions every time we were on the phone, because she cared about the process. I would recommend Nicole and the team at TRANSEARCH USA to any company looking to bring on a completely well-rounded group that will exceed your expectations from the first phone call.”
Kyle FryePresident, Synthetic MR
“TRANSEARCH International is the best executive search firm in the AEC industry. I have worked with Chris Swan for nearly two decades, first as a candidate, and more recently as a repeat customer. The team is fun to work with, but most important in my view is that they are trustworthy and 100% dependable. When they say they will, they deliver on time.”
Douglas DaytonPresident, American Concrete Pipe Association
“My experience with TRANSEARCH was great. There was excellent communication throughout the entire process, and I felt well prepared going into the interviews with their advice and instructions. Not only were they very professional , but they also added a personal touch, which I do not typically experience with recruiters. I would definitely use them again.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a board assessment?

A board assessment evaluates the effectiveness, diversity and governance of a board. It applies structured processes to explore and enhance how board members perform, both individually and as a group.

Why are boards assessed more often than they used to be?

Shareholders and investors are increasingly taking a critical look at the performance of boards. That scrutiny has made a board’s own effectiveness a subject of formal review rather than something assumed.

What does a board assessment actually look at?

It examines the core competencies and leadership qualities board members need in order to thrive, and how well the board’s composition matches the demands placed on it. Certified consultants use Hogan assessments to look at skills, industry knowledge and personality traits.

What do you do with the findings?

The findings show where a board is strong and where it is short, which informs decisions about composition, succession and how the board works together. An assessment is a starting point for change rather than a report to be filed.
