Bulgaria Establishes Professional Association of Executive Search Consultants

The Bulgarian Executive Search Association (BESA), which includes AESC members Boyden and Stanton Chase International, aims to raise the professional level of executive search services in Bulgaria via ethical standards, market research, information campaigns and lobbying for adequate legislation of the industry.

Chairwoman Daniela Ossikovska, Managing Partner of Boyden, stated: “My idea of establishing a professional association of executive search companies dates before the crisis but nowadays the market environment is more adequate for starting the activity of the organization. The crisis is the accelerator for screening the quality of this service in Bulgaria. This is the reason for the fact that our criteria for membership are strict. Unfortunately we are still not able to be a chapter of AESC since only two of our companies are members of AESC, but I am optimistic that this will be possible in future.”

The plans of BESA for the coming months are the organization of a round table on executive search with the participation of clients, consultants and state administration as well as the commissioning of a survey about client satisfaction and the ways of improving the quality level of the services.

Singapore Expansion Enhances Stanton Chase Service in Asia Pacific

Stanton Chase International is adding another new office to its growing international service offering. An office in Singapore will enhance and complement the services Stanton Chase already provides from its 15 Asia/Pacific offices in Japan, China, India, Australia and New Zealand.

With Singapore's importance within South East Asia, this expansion continues Stanton Chase's commitment to developing service in key geographic markets.

South East Asia is an important emerging market and Singapore is a key centre. The Singapore economic model has achieved impressive economic growth and attracted investments from more than 3,000 multinational corporations from the United States, Asia, the Middle East and Europe. Foreign firms are found in almost all sectors of the Singapore economy.

"The expansion of Stanton Chase to Singapore has been one of our top priorities," says Panos Manolopoulos, Stanton Chase Vice Chairman Regions. "We are very pleased that our clients will be able to benefit from our expertise in this emerging market, one of the most important developing markets in the world."

"Singapore is an international city with significant foreign investment," says Edwin Yeo, Managing Director of the Singapore office. "Our connection with the worldwide offices of Stanton Chase will enhance our ability to meet the business leadership needs of the region, and provide a service that is connected to both the local and international marketplace for executive talent."

In addition to providing service to the South East Asian market, the Singapore office will provide search support for other Stanton Chase offices around the world to meet the growing business interests of international clients in the region. The new Stanton Chase office has been providing executive search and human resources consulting services to the South East Asia region for a decade, working in a range of industries and sectors.

With this expansion, Stanton Chase now has 71 offices in 45 countries, offering services in Asia/Pacific, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Latin America and North America. This growth further enhances the professional executive search capabilities and resources Stanton Chase can access to assist international clients around the world.
