Client Challenges We Have Solved China hiring examples

We treat every client as a long-term partner.

We stay committed until the search is fulfilled, with strong follow-up and extended guarantee periods.

Below are real China hiring examples that show how we solve business challenges, not just fill positions – including integration after acquisitions, building new functions, strengthening HQ-to-local reporting, and running confidential replacement searches. Our work is China-led, with assignments across Shanghai, Beijing, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Wuxi, Suzhou, and Hong Kong, and selected Asia support when needed.

  • Challenge: A client acquired a company and needed integration support.
  • Our role: We recruited key leaders, including a Managing Director experienced in post-acquisition transformation.

Building R&D closer to suppliers

  • Challenge: Product development needed to move closer to suppliers.
  • Our role: We hired a Product Development Manager, Product Engineer, and created the first step of an R&D function.

     

HQ-to-local trust and reporting

  • Challenge: HQ needed stronger transparency and financial control in Asia.
  • Our role: We found a Chinese Business Controller with experience in Swedish corporate culture and reporting standards.

Premium products underperform in Asia

  • Challenge: Premium portfolio not meeting expectations in Asia.
  • Our role: We recruited a Head of Midmarket to develop a lower midmarket offering and reshape the portfolio.

Confidential replacement to protect the business

  • Challenge: A client identified conflicts of interest impacting their sales channel.
  • Our role: We ran a confidential replacement search and ensured continuity by having qualified successors ready before organizational changes were executed.
