What's more, due to our extensive network in this sector, we are on the pulse with candidates looking for a move. This means we can bring you the available candidates and the candidates that work for your competitors who might be interested in changing roles. We work closely with our clients to understand their culture and bring them not only the best candidate but the right candidate for their business.

Since then, our network in the industry has expanded to include key global companies and professionals in the downstream oil sector. Our coverage encompasses oil trading houses, integrated oil companies, supply and storage companies and downstream distribution businesses, to name a few.

"We asked Synthesis for assistance in finding us a drybulk shipbroker to expand our team locally. The service rendered was quick and efficient and the right profile emerged from several propositions they made. Thank you Sam for your help and we certainly keep contact.
