OUR
RECRUITMENT FOCUS IN THE
PHILIPPINES
- We recruit
experienced, world-class
Local and Expatriate
Senior
Managers for Leading
American and Western
European companies,
in charge of
Philippines-level,
Southeast Asian (ASEAN),
or for wider
Asia-Pacific Regional
responsibilities.
- We
are asked to find people who can
act as Sole Contributors or as
managers who can run large
departments or business units.
ART's
Philippines
Recruitment is a model of
how proper executive
search should be done
everywhere.
We
first started recruiting in
the Philippines in 1995. It
was our first recruitment
assignment in the
Asia-Pacific region, and we
hold that first search
assignment as a valuable
case study treating the
subject of how proper
executive search
recruitment should be
conducted in all countries.
- Here was
the search need as
described by our client:
a very successful American
firm in the EMS field and
a key component supplier
to one of the world's
major mobile phone
manufacturers: "We have to
replace an American
factory manager at our
Philippines plant. He
doesn't get along with
anyone at the plant, which
employs 3,000. He sits in
his office with the door
shut. We're not making
deliveries on time to our
customer, which represents
most of our revenue."
- Our client
wanted us to find
another American
expatriate, because
their assumption was
that only an American
could run such an
operation. But we
asked, "If Americans are
so good at being Factory
Managers, why did this one
fail so miserably?" (By
the way, we are Americans
ourselves.) Our client saw
that maybe they needed to
look at things
differently.
- Our search
suggestion was to find
the best EMS Factory
Manager in the
Philippines, using
exactly the same methods
and approach that we use
to recruit in the U.S.
and in every other
country. So we
recruited from every
single Philippines
electronics manufacturing
company with a
staff over 100.
This was a group of
approximately 50 target
companies and included
General Managers,
Manufacturing Directors,
Manufacturing Engineering
Directors, Industrial
Engineering Directors and
Quality Directors -
altogether over 200
managers. From this group
we narrowed down
candidates to the "Best
100," then "Best 50," then
"Best 20." At each step we
considered the candidate's
job history, management
philosophy, achievements
as a manager, ideas on
business turnaround,
communications style and
level of enthusiasm. Out
of that came our Shortlist
of 5 all very good choices
for our client.
- Success of
our Theory: The
person whom our client
hired successfully turned
around a floundering and
critical business unit,
upon which our client
company absolutely
depended. His success also
helped our client
establish a second plant
in China, which was run on
the model of the Filipino
plant. Our candidate
remained as General
Manager of the Philippines
business unit for nine
years, ultimately moving
on to another firm as
Managing Director.
- What is to
be learned by this
example?
- First, is
that a passport
does not automatically
convey competence,
success in business,
or anything.
- Second is
that competent
managers in any field
are not easy to find.
They have to be
carefully sought out
and carefully
evaluated. That is
what an experienced
headhunting firm such
as ART is capable of
doing.
An
Important ART Difference: Unlike
nearly every single
Philippines or Southeast Asian
recruitment firm, ART has
never used advertisements to
find candidates for our
clients.
- Advertising
is, at best, a hit-or-miss,
luck-based recruitment
strategy. If a recruitment
firm relies on advertising,
they are not doing executive
search. They are merely
placing advertisements and
poorly trained clerks are left
to determine if candidates fit
the client's needs. This kind
of standard might be
acceptable for general labor
recruitment but it is far too
risky for international
corporations to rely on such
slapdash methods in order to
find their Head of
Asia-Pacific Sales, or to find
their next Regional Vice
President, for example..
- ART
client companies do not hire
us to be lucky. ART is an
American executive search firm
founded in 1987. Our
recruiters are all
"headhunters," not
advertisement-placers. Our
clients hire us because we
know candidates in the right
locations and at the right
companies.. These are
candidates whom we have known
for years, and in the event
that they are not available,
they are people whom we can
rely on to refer us to even
more suitable candidates.
These relationships grow from
years of trust.. Good
candidates recommending other
good candidates. Our clients
look to us for these informed
"insider" contacts.
- Our
clients hire us because we
know the profiles that will
work well for their company's
critical Asia-Pacific business
mission. How do we have this
special knowledge? It comes
from our firm recruiting in
our clients' industries and
markets on a global and
regional scale for decades. We
therefore have seen business
models that work well and
business models that failed.
We understand the kind of
profiles that are likely to
bring success for our new
clients, based on our
experiences witnessing many
similar business models.
- This is
what experience,
professionalism and good
business ethics brings:
success for our clients, and
success for our candidates'
careers.
Throughout
Southeast Asia we recruit
Managers for 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
highly qualified local or
resident expatriate managers who
have strong track records of
success in the national market,
or in the Southeast Asia (ASEAN)
or Asia-Pacific markets as a
whole.
- Our
emphasis is to find managers who
perform well in accordance with
the business ethics and business
style of our client company. The objective is to find
a leader whom our client 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 similar
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 are trained
headhunters who know how to find
such candidates.
- 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 national 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 a particular country..
When
the position to be filled involves
a responsibility beyond the
country-level, such as a
Managing Director for the
Asia-Pacific Region, an ASEAN Sales
Director, or an Asia-Pacific VP
Finance, we take special care to
seek out people who bring deep
experiences across the Asian region,
with respect, knowledge and insight
into the many varied cultures of
Asia. Such managers tend to
bring out the best from their local
staff, customers, and suppliers, and
help make a greater business for our
client companies.
