What Makes Stanton Chase the Best Executive Search Firm in Shanghai?

Retained Search, Not Contingency

We work exclusively on your search. We are paid for the work, not just the placement. That changes everything about how we operate.

Partners Do the Work

The people you meet at the start are the people who run your search. We do not hand off to junior staff after signing the contract.

One Global Team

We operate as one team across 45 countries. If your search needs candidates from Hong Kong, Singapore, or Tokyo, our colleagues there are part of the same search. Same team, same process, same commitment to getting it right.

Built on Friendship and Trust
