ART's
EXECUTIVE SEARCH RECRUITMENT WORK IN SOUTH KOREA
IS ALMOST ENTIRELY DEVOTED TO THE RECRUITMENT OF
KOREAN MANAGERS TO WORK FOR FOREIGN COMPANIES.
- Our candidates in Korea are available for
either Sole Contributor roles, or for
positions involving the supervision of large
departments or entire business units.
- We recruit experienced, world-class Korean
and Expatriate Senior Managers to run
Korean, Northeast Asian, or wider
Asia-Pacific business units
In
Korea we recruit Korean nationals for roles as
Senior Managers and Middle-Managers for
American and European companies where the goal
is to increase local Korean or Northeast Asian
market share, or to increase the overall
efficiency of an existing foreign-owned Korean
business unit.
Often the
best solution is to recruit Korean-English
bilingual or multilingual managers who have
strong track records of success in the markets
of Korea, or in the Asia-Pacific region as a
whole. Our candidate focus:
- While we try to focus on the recruitment
of local English-fluent Korean nationals
whenever available, we also recruit foreign
managers, often from
the United States, Canada,
Australia, or Europe, who have strong track
records of management in Korea or strong
cultural ties (ie., 교포). Some of these
candidates are fully fluent in Korean and
are bi-cultural, while others are not. Some
require expatriate benefits packages, while
some do not.
- Korean nationals who have been educated
abroad or who have worked abroad are also
recruited for positions in South Korea.
- We have a strong interest in managerial
candidates from all industries who are
multilingual, particularly those with strong
skills in Korean, English and Japanese
and/or Mandarin Chinese. Such candidates
could be particularly considered for
regional Northeast Asia or Asia-Pacific
managerial roles.
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 Korean
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, minimized risk,
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 Korean chaebol,
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 Korea.
Searches
might be at the Korean national level,
Northeast Asian regional level, or
Asia-Pacific level.
FOR
KOREAN COMPANIES, we recruit worldwide
experienced, world-class Senior Managers and
Middle-Managers for business units located
outside of South Korea - in the larger
Asia-Pacific region, Europe, North America,
Latin America, Africa or the Middle East.
Because
of our firm's recruitment of top business
leaders in over 100 countries on six
continents, ART is well equipped to help
Korean firms find key managers to improve
their firm's business objectives abroad.
