What is Tangent?

We are a recruiting firm specializing in managerial, professional and executive administrative search. We have a current staff of thirteen dedicated individuals. We are located in Washington, D.C. and have sister offices in Denver and Vail, Colorado. Since 1982, we have acquired the experience that allows us to offer expert advice on careers and hiring. That is why 88% of our client companies keep coming back to us.

Experience:
The average amount of experience Tangent personnel consultants have is ten years. We are search professionals who know it is important to seek more information about a position than just a brief outline of salary, hours, benefits, and background required. We want to know the total working situation as well as the basic nature and style of the company. That way, we can make the fit between employer and employee a better and lasting one.

Teamwork:
We have a staff large enough to fill any need, yet, we are small enough to work closely together. No matter what the size of the need or criteria of the project, nobody gets lost in the database and nothing slips to the wayside. Teamwork and regular communications keep our information fresh and everyone up-to-date. It also keeps our focus precisely where it belongs - on you.

Stability:
We are not interested in volume or turnover. We build relationships with our clients. We learn from our first experience with you about what you want and need. We take the time to find out about each candidate and each company. The stronger our relationship with a business, the better we can serve not only the business, but the candidate as well. That is how we build trust.
