DRH–Talent Search Merges with The ExeQfind Group & The QualiFind Group

July 27, 2020 – The ExeQfind Group based in Atlanta and The QualiFind Group based in San Diego have recently merged the Sao Paulo, Brazil-based retained executive search firm DRH–Talent Search into its search and recruitment platform serving the Americas.

The ExeQfind Group’s retained executive search practice led by Warren Carter has a 20+ year established footprint across the Americas.  Their sister practice The QualiFind Group led by Carlos Acosta has the same track record in technical and professional recruitment .  The two practices found synergies in the Sao Paulo firm owned and led by Hamilton Teixeira.

ExeQfind and QualiFind are both Forbes-ranked search practices with ExeQfind serving the mid-management to executive-level talent market while QualiFind serves the specialist to professional-level segments.  Both practices have consultants with expertise in the agribusiness, food processing, industrial, FMCG, NGO and professional service sectors.

The ExeQfind Group, The QualiFind Group and DRH–Talent Search are long term members of IRC Global Executive Search Partners (www.ircsearchpartners.com) and cite their extensive service to multinational and SMEs as benefiting from their cross border networks.  Both ExeQfind and DRH-Talent Search principals served on IRC’s Board of Directors.  Both Carter and Teixeira cited the value their practices gained through their strategic and collegial partnership with IRC.

Warren Carter stated, “This merger is the culmination of several years of partnering in support of client search assignments plus mine and Hamilton’s joint roles on the IRC Board.  We earned each other’s trust and gained a deeper understanding of the cultures at play in each of our countries.  Given the strong trade and cultural ties between the US and Brazil plus our existing footprint in both the US and Mexico, it was just a natural next step that we combine forces.”

Hamilton Teixeira went on to say, “After 20 years in executive search and 13 of those with IRC, I am enthusiastic about the synergies we are capitalizing on in this merger.  Both ExeQfind and QualiFind are well positioned to provide a more integrated service to our clients across the Americas. This is a natural move for me.  It’s not just the personal and professional relationship that I have with Warren and Carlos but also the strong business ties between the US and Brazil. We look forward to providing a seamless and superior service securing high performing talent for our clients in the region”.

Carlos Acosta’s history of cross-border collaboration with DRH-Talent Search pre-dated the 2011 merger of his firm BPS International with The QualiFind Group.  Carlos and Hamilton had both served US-based industrial clients with manufacturing, sales and distribution operations in Mexico and Brazil.

Carlos lauded this new merger in saying, “The inter-country trade and business ties between North America and Brazil are especially strong in the industrial and agribusiness sectors where we have expertise in both executive search as well as professional recruitment.  I’m very excited about this opportunity to unite our brands and our collective expertise between the US and Latin America’s largest economies.  We couldn’t have predicted the challenges of the Coronavirus pandemic, but it’s given us an opportunity to enhance our capabilities to be even better prepared to serve our clients than ever before.”
