Solutions/Executive search
Executive search for multinational companies
Multinational companies use ArkTalents to hire country managers, plant directors, and functional heads — finance, HR, legal, commercial, and manufacturing — in Greater China and Southeast Asia.
A dedicated local consultant and a project manager run the search in the country of the role. They map the market, approach people who are not looking, and stay through the offer, the background check, and probation.
A first shortlist is typically out in 5 business days, with a written interview report on every CV.
