Our Executive, Management, and Technical Leadership Search Experience
At TLR Search, we specialize in recruiting across all levels of an organization—placing strategic decision-makers in executive roles, influential leaders in management positions, and highly skilled professionals in specialized technical disciplines.
Our deep expertise is rooted in the energy sector, with a strong track record supporting chemical companies, oil & gas firms, and industrial organizations. We’ve built a reputation for solving complex searches where alignment, urgency, and impact matter most.
Below is a sample of roles we’ve successfully filled. This is not an exhaustive list—but it gives a sense of the scope and complexity we thrive in.
Areas We've Had Success
Case Studies
We love challenges and realize our clients have very specific needs. Here are just some examples of challenges we have solved:
New Leader Hired to Integrate and Grow a New Acquisition
A client needed a corrosion engineer, with a special certification, who had leadership and BD skills for a general management position (unique skill set). The team felt they knew everyone and no one was interested.
Subject Matter Expert Hired who Optimized and Developed E&P Software with $40+ Million in Revenue
A client needed a reservoir modeling subject matter expert to help support product development and service clients. They were challenged with salary packages and attracting talent from an exploration and production company to the service side.
48% Increase in Reserves
A small E&P company needed a senior reservoir engineer that had shale & unconventional asset experience, who would wear many hats. This person needed to be collaborative, and could also work autonomously. At first, the finalist candidate declined to consider the opportunity.
Global Refining Company
Our client was in need of building a talent pipeline for succession of 3 executives that were looking to retire in the next 12 to 18 months; the CFO, VP of Marketing, and VP of Planning. The company was looking to identify potential successors. We presented a list of vetted potential candidates.
Innovative Midstream Company Hiring as New Projects Were Coming Online
A small midstream company was growing and looking to add a Director of Project Management to the company. The team was small and this addition needed a specific set of skills, as well as a collaborative style that could work with different leaders across the organization.
E&P Company Growing by 10x Employee Size and Through Two Acquisitions
A newer private equity backed E&P was looking for very specific skills for positions, like engineering, land, HSE, regulatory, accounting, IT, etc. There was no recruiter on staff and we partnered with them to attract talent for the positions, acting as an interim recruiter.
