About Us

A Global Boutique Built on Reach, Resourcefulness & Relationships

Founded in 1989 by David Hoffmann, DHR Global is a leading privately held talent advisory firm with a footprint spanning 60+ markets across 22 countries. We pair clients directly with our most senior executive search and leadership consulting professionals — people who know your world and are connected, accountable, attentive, and ready to move. With expertise across more than 20 industries and functional areas, we deliver customized solutions that go far beyond filling a seat. We are proudly part of the Hoffmann Family of Companies, and our emerging leader search services are delivered through Jobplex, a DHR company.

Who we are

Senior Talent Experts Who Actually Know Your World

At DHR, you'll never be handed off to a junior team. You work directly with the most experienced consultants in your sector — people who have spent careers in your industry and understand what truly great leadership looks like. We're a 'global boutique' firm: large enough to deliver robust reach, small enough to remain agile, collaborative, and client-obsessed. Our team is united by the TEAM philosophy — Trust, Entrepreneurial spirit, Accountability, and Motivation — values that drive every engagement and every relationship.

What we do

Executive Talent Solutions Across the Leadership Lifecycle

We provide executive search, leadership consulting, board and governance services, emerging leader search, and digital transformation talent advisory. Our integrated approach brings together senior search expertise, leadership assessment, executive coaching, organizational development, and team effectiveness — all aligned to the business goals and culture of each client. Whether you're building a board, developing your C-suite, or identifying tomorrow's leaders, we have the reach and resourcefulness to deliver.

Our Purpose

Making the World Smaller — One Right Connection at a Time

We believe it becomes a small world when you are connected to the right people. Our purpose is to solve our clients' most critical talent challenges by delivering leaders who drive meaningful, lasting impact. For more than 35 years, DHR has operated with a singular commitment: to connect the right leaders to the right organizations at the right moments.

Our Values

The Principles That Drive Every Engagement

Trust is the foundation of everything we do — for our clients, candidates, and each other. We are Entrepreneurial, encouraging every team member to grow and invest in DHR and themselves. We hold ourselves Accountable to exceed client expectations without exception. And we are Motivated — agile and expert enough to bring creative solutions every time to get the job done.

Why working with us

The DHR Difference: Connected, Accountable, Attentive

With 160+ global partners and presence in 60+ markets, DHR delivers world-class reach with boutique-level care. Our 83% repeat business rate speaks for itself — clients return because we deliver. We are ranked consistently on Forbes America's Best Executive Recruiting Firms list (2017–2026) and recognized by Inc. as a Best Workplace for five consecutive years (2022–2026). You work with senior people, not associates. Our average fill time of 94 days reflects a disciplined, transparent process built to get you the right leader — fast.

Community & Impact

Giving Back as Part of Who We Are

DHR invests in community through employee volunteer programs — both individual and group — ensuring our team members have dedicated hours to give back to the communities where they live and work.

Inclusion & Diversity

Inclusive Leadership as a Practice and a Priority

DHR maintains a dedicated Inclusive Leadership function practice, helping clients build diverse executive teams and boards. Internally, DHR has been recognized by Newsweek as one of America's Greatest Midsize Workplaces for Culture, Belonging & Community (2026) and for Women (2026), reflecting the firm's commitment to fostering an environment where everyone feels seen, supported, and inspired.
