IMSA Search Global Partners Expands to Australia, Welcomes Simone Allan as Australia Managing Partner

IMSA Search Global Partners (IMSA Search) is excited to announce its expansion into Australia with the addition of Mondo Search, as IMSA Australia and Mondo Search CEO Simone Allan as IMSA Australia Managing Partner.

Over Two Decades of Finding Great
Business Leaders

Founded
in 1998, with over two decades of experience in executive search and
recruitment, Mondo Search connects great companies with quality people. Having placed
more than 2,800 business leaders across a wide range of industries, the firm
focuses on finding people not “on” the job market, but rather “in” it – those
already doing an excellent job in another setting.

Mondo
Search also specializes in helping corporations and business owners build
start-ups, launch new subsidiaries, and implement transformations. Industries
include Consumer, Direct Selling & Digital Marketing, Fast Moving Consumer
Goods (FMCG), Retail, Franchising, Wine & Hospitality, Manufacturing,
Logistics, Operations, Agri Industries, Bio-Tech/Bio-Medical,
Environmental/Sustainability and Community Services, and Professional Services.

Entrepreneurial Spirit, Commitment
to Community Service

Mondo
Search Founder and CEO Simone Allan is an entrepreneur. Recognizing a need to
bring diverse talent to the workplace, she established Mondo Search 24 years
ago and has grown it into one of the longest standing female-led search
consultancies in Australia. Committed to DEI, Simone and her colleagues work
with clients to build inclusive and diverse workforces.

With
a passion for seeing people realize their best potential, Simone created the Women’s
Resilience Center, whose mission focuses on long-term recovery from the
traumatic impact of domestic violence and trauma in families. A natural-born
mentor who understands the power of mentoring to educate and transform, Simone
created Mondo Mentor, an online mentoring platform which evaluates and connects
mentees to mentors around the world. Today Mondo Mentor is used by
corporations, school communities, and not-for-profit organizations, through their partnership with
Mentor Cloud in many countries around the world.

Trust and Accountability a Long
Tradition

Mondo
Search has an extensive trusted alumni network of more than 2,800 executives.
Clients trust Mondo Search to bring appropriately skilled and well-vetted
senior executives to fill positions with speed. Candidates trust Mondo Search
with their long-term career interests, taking advantage of the firm’s mentor
program to develop their individual career “brands.”

With
a deep commitment to accountability, Mondo ensures long-term hires with a
12-month performance guarantee. Simone asserts, “We take a long-term
perspective and want to work with our clients into the future. We truly care.”

Growth Opportunity: Return of
Global Executives to Australia

Australia
is currently witnessing an unprecedented return of expat corporate executives
from around the world. This global migration is comprised of Australian
citizens, many of them senior executives who have built careers abroad and are
now returning home post-Covid.

As
IMSA Search Australia Managing Partner, Simone sees this global talent pool –
high level leaders with decades of experience in many industries and countries,
as a significant opportunity for IMSA Australia and its clients. According to Simone,
tighter government controls on migration and immigrant visas have created huge
shortages, especially in the areas of biotech, medical, IT, and engineering
project management. The influx of internationally savvy managers and leaders
makes top tier talent available locally to fill many previously unfilled
positions.

IMSA Search Provides Broad Global
Connections

Simone
is excited to join the IMSA worldwide network and partner with experienced
professionals who share values and the commitment to deliver optimal results
for clients and candidates. Access to IMSA Search’s impressive AI candidate
database, in combination with IMSA Search Australia’s own extensive network,
will result in broader, deeper searches to better meet clients’ global talent
needs.

IMSA
Search President Monika Ciesielska concurs, recognizing the significant growth
opportunity IMSA Australia brings to the worldwide firm. “We are delighted to
welcome Simone and her team. They bring decades of experience, expertise, and
knowledge in this fast-growing region, which will benefit our international
clients doing business there.”

IMSA Search is Optimistic

IMSA
Search Global Partners is enthusiastic about the future and welcomes clients to
partner with them. As entrepreneurs with an outlook focused on growth, IMSA
Search has successfully assisted clients with their global and local senior
talent needs for over 30 years. With 50+ offices in 25+ countries on 6
