The TaxSearch Story:  Pioneering Excellence in Tax Recruitment

In 1987, TaxSearch emerged from a simple yet powerful insight: the tax profession needed a dedicated, specialized recruitment partner. Our founder, Tony Santiago, recognized that while other industries had their ups and downs, there were two constants in life - death and taxes. This sparked the creation of what would become the nation's first national, vertical market search firm specializing in tax.

Tony's vision was clear: to build a company that could wrap around the tax profession nationally, providing unparalleled service in talent acquisition and retention. It was a bold move in an era when most search firms focused on specific industries rather than professional vertical markets.

Breaking New Ground

From day one, TaxSearch was different. We built one of the first proprietary applicant tracking systems, harnessing a national database of thousands of tax professionals. This innovative approach allowed us to effectively match the needs and wants of employers with those of tax professionals on a national basis - a game-changer in the industry.

As our success grew, so did our reputation. We evolved from a contingency model to a fully retained search firm, setting new standards in the tax recruitment field. Our team of specialized tax recruiters brought a level of expertise and insight that was unmatched in the industry.

Expanding Our Horizons

But we didn't stop there. In 1999, we launched TaxTalent, an online community for self-career management in the tax profession. This sister company expanded our reach and solidified our position as thought leaders in the industry.

Today, TaxSearch has evolved into a group of related companies, all dedicated to helping tax professionals, finance leaders, and human resource executives optimize the tax function. Our services now extend beyond search, offering consultative and strategic value to tax hiring authorities looking to build and maintain world-class tax departments.
