i-Search was established in February 2000 as a London based search firm offering specialist markets based recruitment and consultancy services to a small number of global investment banks. The founding partners are all former managers at top tier commercial and investment banks and bring deep product and market knowledge coupled with personal experience as users of headhunting organisations.

Our primary role is to understand our clients' strategies and goals. Through targeted, considered and effective consultation we help to achieve those recruitment goals. i-Search has been designed to harness markets expertise to a rigorous and flexible methodology which provides fast and effective human capital solutions for clients.  To this end we have built a qualitative database of the best talent in our fields and we can tailor our service to our clients’ requirements. 

We have found traditional search consultants to be poorly informed, isolated from the markets and unable to differentiate in the face of the complex, specialist and rapidly evolving disciplines and products. The level of knowledge needed to engage with, evaluate and motivate highly pressurised investment bankers is beyond all but the most experienced and specialist consultants.

We believe that we have a unique organisation that delivers insightful and meaningful solutions.  Since 2000 the i-Search ethos has propelled our firm into a position of market leadership with an outstanding record of search completion.
