Positions might be as Sole Contributors or Managers supervising staff.

It is indeed a great honor for us, an American executive search firm, to be routinely used by top Taiwanese or Hong Kong firms to find their managerial executives at home or in other parts of Asia.  We are given this opportunity to serve these clients because these companies understand all too well the difference between working with an established and trusted recruitment firm versus working with an agency that just happens to be in one city or another. Being in a particular place does not train one to be an expert in executive search. Nor does it train one to be ethical. In some countries, many people offering recruitment services of one kind or another come and go, while ART continues to build its expertise and knowledge base, decade after decade.

It takes years and years to master the executive search field, and it takes years and years for a recruitment firm to develop a candidate base and sufficient industry knowledge to be useful to a client company's critical business mission or to a person seeking a strong career advancement.

Our recruitment in Asia began in the mid-1990's. We recruit in nearly every Asia-Pacific country. We recruit in nearly every high-tech, industrial or service sector, and we recruit for virtually every department that a company might have. We know "where the pieces fit together," and such interplay and cross-fertilizations between industries, disciplines and markets allow ART to serve our clients and candidates with great depth and efficiency, wherever we are needed.

Our Managers have been interviewed by major Asian regional and global business publications, such as CFO Asia/Economist Group (Hong Kong), Forbes Asia (Hong Kong), A Plus Magazine (Hong Kong), Asia Money (Hong Kong), The Business Times (Singapore), Science's Next Wave (Singapore), The Wall Street Journal (USA), Business Week (USA), Düsseldorf Handelsblatt (Germany), Manager-Magazin/Spiegel-Gruppe (Germany), Trouw (Netherlands), etc. We have been interviewed by these major publications because of our reputation in Asia and globally in the executive search field.

• We recruit Senior Managers for companies where the goal is to increase local market share or to increase the efficiency of the business unit. In Taiwan, often the best solution is to recruit Mandarin-English bilingual or multilingual managers who have strong track records of success in the markets of Taiwan, 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 region. Some of these candidates are fully fluent in Chinese (Mandarin, Taiwanese, 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 our client company. The objective is to find a leader whom the 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 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.

• Our candidate searches include searches for Sole Contributor managers as well as people able to lead medium-sized to large groups.

• 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 Taiwanese 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 Taiwan.

• Searches might be at the regional level, national level, or sub-national level.

ART IS IN FULL COMPLIANCE WITH TAIWAN EMPLOYMENT LAW & INTERNATIONAL TREATIES:

• Taiwan's Employment Services Act (就業服務法; Act No. 72 of 1992, as amended). ART only provides referrals of candidates  when a client contracts our executive search consulting services. ART is not in any way involved in the hiring, payroll or employment of candidates referred by ART to a client-company, as would an employment agency. The Employer of Record would be our client-company's Taiwan legal entity or another Taiwan established company entity.

• Remote, cross-border services from a U.S.-based executive search firm fall under Taiwan's commitments to the WTO General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS), allowing foreign providers to supply business consulting services (including executive search referrals as advisory) without local establishment.
