Q. What is unique about Tangent?
A. We are the only exclusively managerial, professional and executive administrative search firm in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. We do not dilute our focus and performance by doing temporary placement — and we have been performing since 1982.

Q. How effective are you?
A. When you work with us on 3 positions our statistics show that we will fill 2 of them. We provide the focused recruitment of an executive search firm — an amazing result for a contingency service.

Q. How do you find your candidates?
A. We source our candidates from recruiting networks, contacts, and a 50,000 person database that has been developed over our 25 years in business. This gives us access to an entire marketplace of employees that are not publicly available.

Q. Why should I believe you're as good as you say you are?
A. Don't. Just ask any of the over 2600 businesses we serve. You'll see why 88% of our clients use us again, and again.

Q. What happens if the person I hire doesn't work out?
A. We have a guarantee period during which we check to make sure that things are working out. If a problem exists, we'll work with you and the employee to resolve any troubles including, if appropriate, the replacement of the employee.

Q. What is the staff like?
A. We have a combination of senior consultants, who have 25 years experience in the field, and consultants just beginning their career, who bring a fresh vision and have a pulse on the issues relevant to their contemporaries. This unique synergy in cross-mentoring creates a dynamic flow of expertise.
