ART's Record in Thailand Executive
Search
Our
first placement in Thailand was in
2010 - a Managing Director for an
American automotive supplier. While
much of our work in those first
years was in the Thailand automotive
sector and the Thailand food sector,
since then we have been vigorously
recruiting General Managers, Sales
Managers, Finance Managers, Supply
Chain Managers and others in the
broadest range of industrial and
service sectors.
We first
started recruiting in Southeast Asia
in the mid-1990's. With this depth of
experience across most disciplines in
the high-tech, industrial, and service
sectors, ART's executive search
services exceed the capabilities and
training of our competitors in the
ASEAN market. This is why notable
ASEAN business publications such as
the Singapore Business Times, HR
Management Asia, and Science's Next
Wave have sought our managers' views
on recruitment, economy, careers and
Asian market trends.
Throughout
Thailand, 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 Thailand
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
Thailand 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.
Unlike
nearly every single Thailand
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.
