"Jack Hammer fulfils IRC's commitment to serve clients by way of an ever-widening global executive recruitment platform," says Sylvia MacArthur, president of the executive board of IRC. "We believe the Cape Town company's unique style and fresh approach fit well with our global executive search boutique capabilities."

Debbie Goodman-Bhyat, founder and MD of Jack Hammer, which focuses on the placement of top-level executive managers, says the firm's success stems from its ability to balance business acumen with empathy, strategic research and tenacious energy.

"We are delighted to be accepted into the globally influential IRC alliance," she says. "Increasingly, companies look for the right fit when recruiting executive talent, in addition to the right qualifications. Culture, values and personal style are intangible measures and IRC's approach, which is global yet sensitive to localised imperatives, fits our vision. "

Goodman-Bhyat says the recent entry into the alliance means that the company is able to offer both a global service to its clients, as well as local insight and support to IRC member firms seeking exceptional candidates in South Africa.
