Our history
1966
Downing Teal Pty begins operations in Perth, Australia, subsequently expanding to key cities such as Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Gladstone.
Over time, the firm establishes itself as a leading partner in talent search and selection for productive and industrial sectors, including mining, engineering and construction, energy, oil & gas and manufacturing, among others.
2001
The experience of the Australian partners is combined with the capabilities of the Chilean partners to give rise to Downing Teal Chile in Santiago, thereby establishing the group’s first international office.
From Chile, the organisation extends its regional reach with the opening of offices in Peru (2005) and Brazil (2010), together with the consolidation of strategic alliances with consultants in Canada, the United States and South Africa.
2019
The Chilean partners acquire the shareholding of the Australian partners, marking the beginning of a new stage of independent development.
2025
We operate as DOWNING TEAL, with more than 25 years of experience, providing services from Chile to a global network of clients in industrial and productive sectors.
