Central & Western China Executive Search

OUR RECRUITMENT FOCUS IN THE GREATER CHINA REGION: Experienced, Western-trained Local and Expatriate Senior Managers to run Chinese, Taiwanese, Hong Kong or Asia-Pacific business units of foreign corporations, in the following roles: GENERAL MANAGEMENT: Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Chief Operating Officer (COO), President, Managing Director, General Manager, Vice President,...   SALES & MARKETING: VP Sales and Marketing, Sales Director, Sales Manager, Commercial Director, Marketing Director,...   FINANCE: Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Finance Director, Head Controlling, Finance Controller, Finance Manager,...   OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT: Chief Operating Officer (COO), VP Operations, VP Manufacturing, Manufacturing Director, Plant Manager, Factory Manager,...   SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT: VP Supply Chain, Supply Chain Director, Logistics Director, Procurement Director, Sourcing Director, Materials Director,...   HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT: VP Human Resources, Director of Human Resources, Human Resources Manager,...     We recruit Senior Managers for mostly North American and European companies where the goal is to increase local market share or to increase the efficiency of the foreign business unit. Often the best solution is to recruit Chinese-English bilingual or multilingual managers who have strong track records of success in the markets of China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, or in the Asia-Pacific region as a whole.   While we try to focus on local candidates whenever available, we also recruit foreign managers, often from Singapore, Malaysia, Europe, North America or Australia, who have strong track records of management in the Greater China region. Some of these candidates are fully fluent in Chinese (Mandarin and/or Cantonese), while others are not. Some require expatriate benefits packages, while some do not.   Our emphasis is to find managers who perform well in accordance with the business ethics and business style of the foreign company. The objective is to find a leader whom the foreign company can trust to run their business, while effectively reaching local customers, suppliers, and employees in a way that they will find comforting.   Whenever possible, we seek candidates who have worked at their best in similar roles at foreign firms, often at our client's direct competitors or near-competitors. Familiarity with the target industry or market sector usually means faster success and greater organizational effectiveness.   We take particular care to try to find people who are accustomed to working in a business model that resembles that of the client company. A person who works well at a top Chinese, Taiwanese, or Hong Kong enterprise, or even at a large multinational Western firm, for example, might not be the right person as employee #1 at a medium-sized foreign firm's greenfield business unit in China, Taiwan or Hong Kong.   Searches might be at the regional level, national level, or sub-national level.   ART EXECUTIVE SEARCHES IN THIS MARKET To see representative examples of past or current recruitment searches in which respected, leading employers have asked ART to conduct its executive search work: click here.
