Even though China boasts of a strong talent pool suited for various junior and mid level organizational positions, there is major shortage of similar professionals for top management positions. Business organizations, irrespective of whether they are locally established or internationally run, face a major challenge, when it comes to finding senior executives with the right set of skills. In fact the best executive search firms in China are also not able to easily fulfil their client needs for a senior executive possessing strong leadership competencies, an international mindset and extensive local know-how.
