The right fit is key

At Cowan, we build long-term, mutually rewarding relationships with our candidates and clients. This means that we become an extension of our clients’ human resources departments.

Finding the recruitment balance

The secret to our success is to match our clients’ and candidates’ best interests. Everyone wins when everyone is satisfied. Long rotations away from families or new environments for children can be challenging, so we evaluate everyone’s needs to ensure that placements fit on every level before moving forward.
Global reach, global expertise

We know the environments where we source people. We know their previous employers. We understand the reality they are entering. And our job satisfaction comes from making it all come together. This might sound idealistic, but it’s simply the way Cowan is – across the board, across the globe.
Your trusted partner

Our goal is to develop trust and understanding with our clients and candidates. That’s why Cowan has been a world leader in international recruitment for over 50 years. Our worldwide team shares centralized data and collaborates on projects across the world, often 24/7, speaking English, French, Chinese, Spanish, Afrikaans and Swahili.
All levels of recruitment

We recruit for single positions or entire teams at all levels from executive management to operations. Whether it’s dynamic leadership, seasoned pro’s, expats, nationals or somewhere in between, our work isn’t about companies, it’s about people. We are thorough, confidential and carry out extensive background checks. Our job is to help you get your job done, each and every time.
