FAQs

How does your firm specialise in corporate communications and corporate affairs?

We combine deep sector expertise with a rigorous, research-led methodology, giving us unique access to senior communications leaders who protect and enhance corporate reputation on a global stage. Beyond search, we actively invest in the community — hosting regular forums and producing thought leadership that keeps us closely connected to the issues shaping corporate affairs worldwide.

How does your executive search process work for senior appointments?

Our executive search process is tailored and research-led. We start with a deep understanding of your strategy and culture, then map the global talent market with a focus on the best high-impact leaders. Through proactive headhunting, structured assessments, and careful referencing, we ensure every shortlist delivers the right strategic and cultural fit.

What types of roles do you specialise in?

We specialise in senior leadership appointments across corporate communications, public affairs, internal communications, PR, and investor relations — from functional heads through to C-suite and board level. Our work spans international markets, with a strong track record of placing senior communications leaders across Europe, North America, and beyond.

What are the benefits of using an expert headhunter?

Working with an expert headhunter gives you access to leadership talent you won’t find on the open market. At tml Partners, we specialise in engaging high-impact senior executives — the passive talent who are not actively job-seeking but open to the right opportunity. This not only accelerates time-to-hire, but ensures every appointment delivers long-term strategic value, cultural alignment, and a stronger return on leadership investment.
