We
recruit Senior Managers and
Middle-Managers in the Pacific region,
with a particular focus on the
identification of the best world-class
local candidates. In addition,
whenever needed, we can also recruit
Pacific candidates or others who are
now residing in the U.S., Australia,
New Zealand, France, Canada, the
United Kingdom, mainland Asia, etc.,
where the goal is to supplement or
update the Pacific business unit with
people having advanced training and
work experiences from those areas.
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 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 leading
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 Pacific
enterprise, or even at a large
international firm, for example,
might not be the right person as
employee #1 at a medium-sized
foreign firm's greenfield business
unit.
Fluency
in English is normally required.
Additional language skills in
French, or other local languages of
the region or of the employer, also
might be required, based on the job
location and the business objectives
of the role.
