Stanton Chase Serves Clients in 3 New Markets

Dallas, Texas, USA, June 8, 2006 – At its 33rd Global Partners meeting held in Athens, Greece, Stanton Chase welcomed three new offices to their Europe, Middle East and Africa regions. With the addition of offices in Dubai, Johannesburg and Sofia, Stanton Chase has increased its global reach to 55 offices in 36 countries. The new offices are part of a strategic pattern of growth as Stanton Chase International answers growing demand for executive search in these dynamic markets. "We continue to see an increasing demand for cross border assignments from our clients" explains Steve Watson, Chairman of Stanton Chase and Managing Director of the Dallas office. "The addition of these new offices means our global platform and entrepreneurial approach to client service will be even greater strengths we can leverage on behalf of our clients."

Based on a growing economy and impressive development, Stanton Chase made a physical presence in Dubai a high priority. Stanton Chase Dubai will focus on the energy and natural resources, industrial, financial services, consumer products and services, and technology sectors in this prosperous region. "This rapidly developing region has now grown in sophistication and clients increasingly seek to be serviced by truly professional and international executive search firms, such as Stanton Chase, which can address their need for HR consulting and attract quality professionals from around the world. We are looking forward to finding exceptional leaders and providing organizational solutions, acting as a true business partner for regional corporate champions," says Georgia Kartsanis, Managing Director of Stanton Chase Dubai.

The Middle East region is attracting more clients relying on executive search firms like Stanton Chase, who can provide local insight and attract quality professionals through a well-connected international network. "With our local and regional market knowledge, client-oriented philosophy and our dedication to high quality results, we can serve our clients seamlessly wherever they need us in order to identify leaders with proven multicultural experience and cutting-edge functional skills," adds George Kitromilides, Country Manager of Stanton Chase Dubai.

The Johannesburg office brings much needed presence on the African continent to the Stanton Chase network. The new office opened its doors for business in April 2006 to service existing and prospective clients operating in South Africa, the continent’s largest economic centers, Sub-Saharan Africa and the Indian Ocean Islands region. All these regions are constantly faced with the challenge of a shortage of skilled professionals. "During the last decade, South Africa has increasingly become an important market for executive search services, and one which is maturing rapidly," says Gert Herold, Regional Vice President for Stanton Chase Europe, Middle East and Africa. "We are proud to be able to offer our local and regional market knowledge and insight to Stanton Chase clients through our association with a global search firm of such high quality and integrity," says Simpson Nondo, Managing Director of Stanton Chase Johannesburg, who specializes in sourcing top-level affirmative action candidates for clients.

Stanton Chase is also pleased to enter the Sofia market at an early stage in Bulgaria’s economic development, in keeping with the firm’s emphasis on emerging markets. "Bulgaria, striving to enter the European Union, has experienced macroeconomic stability and strong growth over the last few years," adds Gert Herold. "The newly opened Stanton Chase Sofia office reflects the strong need for executive search services in this important market of South Eastern Europe."

Stanton Chase International is the world’s seventh largest retained executive recruiting firm. With its global partners, the 350-member organization conducts local, regional and international executive search assignments for many top companies worldwide.
