Our Core Values

Our values are the reason we founded TAIR, we were also tired of recruitment firms not recognizing the importance of ethically augmenting people's careers and business and only focusing on numbers. Our blue print to every decision we make at TAIR is rooted and guided firmly by our values.

Ethical

A recruitment firm that does not focus on a fee or taking advantage of the grey areas. A recruitment firm that views partners & candidates as an extension of their team. You can't help augment careers and businesses if you are working against them.

Transparency

Leading with transparency forges a stronger partnerships and lasting placements. It is impossible to empathize with our partners & candidates if we cannot demonstrate compassion ourselves. It invites others to do the same so we can be a viable long-term partner.

Empathy

It starts with listening and understanding our partners & candidate's needs. Doing what's in the best interest for our clients allows for the rest to fall into place. We care.

Execution

The only way to provide value as an extension to your career or talent management function is to execute. Providing an impactful solution for both our candidates & clients. Execution is critical for optimizing organizational growth & career potential.

Our Philosophy

90% of strategy is execution and 90% of execution is the result of people.

Starts by having Empathy and being Ethical. Transparency cuts the B.S. and Excution solves the rest.

We want to make this simple
