About Us
Ink Search is a boutique recruitment firm with a truly global reach. With 15 years dedicated to the Commodities and Energy Technology markets, we offer unprecedented access to a global network of highly skilled, hard to find, industry-specific Candidates.
We represent some of the worlds most recognised brands in the Natural Resources sector. We work in partnership with our clients and candidates to offer a high quality, inclusive recruitment service across Exec Search, Interim, Contract and Contingent Permanent recruitment activity.
The global commodities market is a complex ecosystem that has a direct impact on all of our lives.
The food we consume, the energy we use to heat our homes, our methods of transportation and the buildings we work within are all critical components essential to our day to day lives. Energy and Commodity sources remain abundant yet as demand increases, many organisations are having to make long term decisions that accelerate change for greater efficiency and to add greater value to their customer demographic.
Technology and Digitisation are at the forefront of this change. Whilst customer demand remains strong, Innovation and Digital Instruments such as Cloud, IoT, Artificial Intelligence, Automation, Machine learning, Super Computing, Blockchain and Data Science offer an opportunity for organisations within the Commodities markets to meet business demand whilst gaining market share.
With the introduction of these new technologies, the shape and structure of traditional organisations operating within the sector are dramatically changing. Commodities firms see a world where AI / Automation will become the norm and tasks such as determining hedging positions, the management of vessels, risk optimisation, weather prediction and systematic trading will be managed by machines as much as by employees. This change is driving a modernisation within the workforce.
This is precisely where Ink Search operate. We partner with clients and candidates to help enable valuable business change through the use of advanced technologies and skill sets. We offer a consultative, high quality approach to every assignment ensuring we identify, attract, recruit and retain the best quality candidate for every opportunity, whether that be an Executive Leader or Interim Project Resource.
