The primary focus was those international companies seeking to enter the rapidly emerging Chinese market. Our reputation has been built on identifying the best talent, through executive search, as well as more broad based HR consulting. That includes salary advice, organizational development and the HR component in a due diligence assessment during M&A. The lessons learned through the partnerships with international companies in China have been applied to the outbound Chinese corporations. It was clear that there are many similarities to the challenges that are experienced by the Chinese in international markets had been confronting foreign companies as they built their businesses in China.
