US
Fortune 50 Company
Position Filled: General Manager
Description:
The
US General Manager had done excellent work to upgrade his company's
large outsourced IT facility based in Manila. It was time for him to
return to the US and find a quality replacement to continue the
work that had begun. Chalre Associates sourced roughly 70 potential candidates for the position and
winnowed this number down to about 15. All of these were
interviewed extensively by the senior consultant of Chalre
Associates and cursory
background checks were made. A short list of 4 candidates were
presented to the General Manager. Two of these were
"local expats" (foreign nationals with a strong link to
Philippines) and two were Filipinos with strong overseas experience with
multinational companies.
All candidates were re-interviewed
by the current GM and the Chalre Associates
consultant. The same four were interviewed by other US
managers in Philippines. The best 2 were sent to the US for
final interviews and an appropriate hire was made.
Large European Technology Company
Positions
Filled: Country Manager (Indonesia), Country Manager
(Thailand), Country Manager (Japan), Regional CFO (Asia Pacific), Regional Customer
Service Manager (Asia Pacific), Country Sales Manager, Regional
Sales Manager, Senior Project Managers (4), among others.
Description:
The client relationship between the company and the consultant
had been built over a period of time. Most of the staff at the
company's Asia Pacific regional head office were placed through
the Chalre Associates consultant.
The company was expanding rapidly and needed assistance finding suitable Country Managers for Japan, Thailand and Indonesia. The consultant was asked to oversee this work. All of these senior positions were filled. In total, 25 positions were filled throughout the Asia Pacific region.
Large Pharmaceutical Company
Positions
Filled: Human Resource Directors (2)
Description:
The client has roughly 1000 people in Philippines and is growing
quickly. The Managing Director needed a senior person to
manage HR for his complex organization. The client had
specific requirements with regard to experience, technical
skills, management culture background and even area of
residence.
After much research by Chalre Associates, a short-list of five
candidates were presented who met the difficult
requirements. All candidates were given multiple
interviews and finalists were subjected to a
panel.
The client offered the original position to one of these -- a
highly qualified and likeable person. In addition, however,
a second person from our short-list was offered a senior
position and gladly accepted the role. The Managing Director was
pleased to be able to find 2 good people to join his company
although his original requirements were for only one
position.
The client made Chalre Associates the exclusive source for
its externally recruited senior level positions in the
future.
Multinational Logistics Company
Positions Filled: Managing Director, Finance Director
Description:
The client had found it necessary to terminate both its Country Manager and Finance Director due to the uncovering of fraud. The Regional Director needed to replace both positions quickly and quietly before the
company's client and employee relationships were harmed.
For the Country Manager portion of the search, roughly 125 potential candidates from the local industry were sourced and spoken to. Of these, roughly 30 were deemed worthy of extensive telephone conversations by research staff. From this group, 14 people were given personal interviews by the Chalre Associates consultant and the 5 most suitable candidates were chosen. Full Candidate Reports were prepared with complete background information and compensation. Cursory background checks were also undertaken at this stage.
The client (2 regional managers) interviewed all 5 candidates. The most ideal of these were offered the position - after extensive formal and informal reference checks. After sometimes difficult negotiations, the candidate accepted the role. The search for the Finance Director then proceeded and was completed in a like manner.

Global Oil & Gas Company
Positions Filled: Leadership Assessment & Development
program for 7 senior staff
Description:
The
client had completed a large oil & gas development project. The numerous expatriates who were needed
during the development phase were now required for other projects
of the company. The vast majority of the positions were to be
turned over to local employees -- localized, in other words. The
Managing Director of the company required an unbiased and systematic
assessment by an outside third-party of all staff members deemed
potentially suited for the higher management roles being vacated
by expatriates.
Multiple in-depth interviews were completed and confidential background
checks were conducted from confidential industry sources. Our
interviews uncover some surprises since 2 of the candidate for
promotion were unhappy with the organization and taking action
to leave the company. One candidate even stated that senior management
"didn't know what they were doing" -- a surprising statement from
someone deemed by senior management to be a high-performer. While
the content of our conversations with employees remained confidential,
we were able to provide feedback to senior management that was
effective in retention. Action was quickly taken to improve the
relationship with the dispirited employees.
In the end, the Managing Director received the unbiased, systematic
assessment that he needed to help formulate a promotion strategy.

Global IT Company
Positions Filled: Various Senior Technical Engineers
Description:
A global IT services organization company needed highly skilled professionals with more than 7 years of experience in specific technologies. The company was having great difficulty hiring suitable people at 5 cities across Canada. In addition to being experts in their field, the IT professionals needed to be able to speak English fluently and have an outgoing personality so they could adapt well to the new environment.
After assessing the supply situation in various countries, the Chalre Associates
consultant sourced a strong supply of motivated candidates in South Korea. While technical expertise was readily available, good English communication skills in Korea were less available. Many hundreds of candidates were screened from locations across the country. After reviewing candidate resumes with the client back in Canada, the Chalre Associates
consultant escorted 2 senior people from the client company to Seoul to conduct final interviews with candidates. Twenty-two candidates were chosen meeting the client's requirements.
Immigration processes were begun immediately and the new employees arrived over the next few months in 5 different locations across Canada. Someone met each of the 22 successful candidates as they arrived at the airport. Often a local member of the Korean community was also present. Assistance was also provided with housing, government regulations and processing, and cultural assimilation.
The project was reported in national television news in Korea and was a cover story of ComputerWorld magazine
in North America.
Large Financial Institution
Positions Filled: Various Senior Technical Engineers
Description:
The client was located in a regional Canadian city and was unable to hire specifically skilled Systems Programmers able to work on their large mainframe computers despite many months of searching. The
Chalre Associaties consultant sourced a number of candidates in Asia. Initial interviews were arranged by telephone and later panel interviews were conducted by teleconference for finalist candidate. The client was able to hire 3 sorely needed senior Systems Programmers who adapted well to their business and community environment.
Mid-Sized Semiconductor Company
Positions Filled: Various Senior Design Engineers
Description:
The client needed desperately to hire an experienced senior engineer able to develop complex semiconductor designs based on a technology called system-on-a-chip. All locally-based candidates were already employed and unwilling to move. After doing an extensive search of the Asia Pacific region, a candidate was found in China who fit the requirements and was motivated to relocate.
At the time of contact, the candidate was CTO of the first publically-listed Chinese semiconductor design company. He held a Ph.D. and a number of international patents. His English communication skills were deemed acceptable (though not perfect). The client was overjoyed and the candidate was quickly hired, and brought to Canada.
