An international Oil & Gas group subsidiary in KL, Malaysia , had recently engaged us to identify an individual to address the India subcontinent market for their up-stream solution in the Oil & Gas industry.

The client encountered difficulties as their internal hiring team could not leverage on the resources available to them to effectively find the right individual. This was compounded by their stringent criteria in requiring this individual to have a combination of Oil & Gas background experience and have worked in a Consulting environment, specifically with the big “4”. They also needed this person to have exposure to the India market.

This client had worked with us on various occasions where the search was more complex and where the numbers of potential candidates that can do the job in the market were small in the region. This search was especially so for the latter.

We managed to shortlist the eventually hired candidate within 2 weeks, although the process to interview and meet face to face took longer as both parties were traveling and had scheduling problem inherent to the industry.

An international manufacturer recently needed to source talents in the region for their plant operation in Shanghai , Guangdong , Wuxi and Shenzhen in China . They face challenges in getting the “best fit” talents for their organization as the Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) is a highly competitive industry worldwide. As they could not get the right skills in China , their regional search for candidates requires relocation and family commitments of the potential candidates, complicate such search.

Our Consultant did a targeted search within the EMS industry players in the region to identify the right candidates and performed short-listing exercise until the completion of the search assignment. We completed the search and successfully placed candidates for Procurement Managers position for their plants and are ongoing searches for other positions including Material Managers, QA Managers, etc

Our ability to leverage in the region to uncover talents that are able to undertake such relocation was key to this project.
