Rebounding industries´ hunger for strong executives

26.04.2010: Asia Pacific’s recruitment demands in the technology, professional services, wholesale banking and industrial sectors met by global recruitment alliance.

Deeper industry knowledge, combined with strong global and local contacts, ensures a busy period of executive recruitment for rebounding industries throughout Australia, Singapore, India, Hong Kong, China and Japan. IRC Asia Pacific’s clients’ recruitment focus is at senior management and board level.

“Our major focus is on technology, professional services, wholesale banking and industrials. By appointing Account Managers to global/regional accounts, we can cross-pollinate skills and alliances through our different offices,´deepening our regional product knowledge. This means we can offer our clients an even wider, deeper, networked service, filling their expanding executive recruitment needs quickly and effectively.”
Malcolm Duncan, IRC’s Asia Pacific Regional Group Leader

Global alliance combined with local knowledge
“2010 has seen a strong start for all regional participants,” said Mr Duncan. “Australia, India, Japan, China, Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan are all seeing an improvement in the search market since mid-August 2009, with a recent rebound in technology. In particular, China and India have continued strong growth.”

“We’re proud to be a part of IRC Global Executive Search Partners. In fact, the alliance is already reaping results for clients, as we are working on an assignment referred into Australia from Singapore. At our regional meeting, we consulted with more than 25 global companies, including GE Energy, Bank of America, Celestica, ANZ, Sun Microsystems, GE Healthcare and Electrolux.”
