IRC Adds New Member in Turkey

July 27, 2012 – IRC Global Executive Search Partners (IRC) has added Istanbul-based HumanGroup as its newest member firm. Gaye Özcan and Mehves Demir, both former HR managers, founded HumanGroup in 2006, focusing on executive search, selection and assessment, and customized training programs. HumanGroup’s clients are primarily large Turkish and international firms, operating across multiple sectors, and expanding regionally and internationally. “There are big opportunities here in Turkey – it’s a developing market of 75 million people, and big international companies simply can’t ignore it,” said Sylvia MacArthur, president of the IRC executive board. “The search market in Turkey is relatively young and developing, and our clients increasingly need candidates with extremely specific and unique skills. Our membership in IRC will considerably enhance HumanGroup’s ability to provide global search services to all clients, and to contribute to IRC’s expanding cross-border executive search services.”
