PCI Executive Search Consultants
Founded in 1991, PCI Executive Search Consultants is a leading executive search firm with operations in Greater China.
Our philosophy at PCI is simple: “Solving clients’ business challenges drives everything we do,” says CEO Morgan Chang. “Our passion for excellence, combined with an innovative, diligent approach to recruiting talent, delivers value-driven results to our clients.”
Our three offices in Greater China are led by consultants and partners with a total of 80 years’ experience. PCI combines creative search strategies and tactics with a compelling and professional presentation style that differentiates our clients in the pursuit of top talent. Our methods also set PCI apart from the competition, and are the primary reason for our history of repeat business with a select list of multi-national companies.
While we have broad experience across all industries, we focus our expertise in core markets that build on our experience. Practice areas include chemical, industrial, venture capital, hi-tech, semiconductor, healthcare, automotive and consumer/retail industries.
PCI is a member of IIC Partners, Executive Search Worldwide, with a global network of more than 55 offices and some 300 search professionals, providing unparalleled access to global talent.
At PCI, we set a high standard, and we make sure we deliver.
Our work covers a multitude of leadership positions and has accrued extensive experience in a diverse range of business sectors.
Working with PCI means getting outstanding results. We take pride in our assignments, and our work is an expression of the excitement and care we bring to serving each client.
Our strong work ethic and dedication to customer service stem from our total commitment to excellence. To that end, clients of PCI are ensured that they always deal directly with high level experienced professionals.
Creativity, friendliness, reliability and an unwavering commitment to doing an outstanding job are what set us apart from the competition.
We firmly believe in transparent and on-going communications with our clients. Constant feedback is critical ingredients to creating a successful long-term alliance. As a result, our approach is proactive and “hands-on.”
PCI conducts in-depth research to gain a keen understanding of a company industry, its target markets and its business objectives before developing the search strategy. In addition, PCI works closely with the HR and Hiring Manger to ensure the optimum success of all communication activities and expectations.
Our vision is simple, we want our client to think of us when they need to fill a critical position.
And our mission is to bring people and resources together to help our clients compete and succeed in a competitive timeframe. Frankly, we stop at nothing to get the job done; if that requires enlisting the capabilities of experts outside of our firm, so be it. As an independent firm, we’re not beholden to working only with certain partners. We’re a collaborative bunch. We work in teams, amongst ourselves and our consultants, as well as with our clients.
While we listen to many points of view, we are decidedly decisive and we don’t waste time when identifying a solution and getting down to work – truly, we are driven to lead. We’re a diverse group of individuals; yet our one common trait is an ultra-competitive streak. We work well with clients who have similar instincts.
The PCI Way: We are just being who we are. Here are the things we value most: accountability, direct (rather than email) conflict resolution, professional development, collaboration, an open work environment, our clients, thinking creatively, taking strategic action and responsibly managing costs.
Our work with our clients has helped us to adopt, shape, contribute to, internalize and teach what we believe are some of the best search practices in the business. For instance, Microsoft’s success has been our success, and we’re pleased to continue to be a Microsoft business partner.
PCI Services
By the time we initiate work with a new client, we know that organization’s operations, its industry, its competitors and its challenges very well. We don’t just hit the ground running—we’re already off the runway and scanning the prospect’s business landscape.
A primary reason for our speed in integrating our work with the client’s objectives is the research we bring to the new-business process. Before we present a proposal to a prospective client, we develop extensive information on that company’s business climate, both regionally and nationally, and the key issues it confronts. We conduct a preliminary market scan to determine the availability of talents, local or foreign
Through our local and international network, we have the ability to conduct the Best Practice Group and industry leaders inquiries for both public and privately held companies. We talk with these experts about the prospective client’s industry, the challenges it faces and the competitive talent environment.
We bring all this intelligence to the table when we propose a Search Solution for the prospect, focusing on that individual organization’s real issues and opportunities.
In these ways, PCI overcomes the concerns over startup delays that many companies have when considering outsourcing to an executive search firm.
At PCI, we recognize that progress and achievement rely on a detailed planning process and that accountability is the true strength of that process. As we begin a client relationship, we develop a master plan in which all involved agree on the objectives, strategies, resources and timeline. We maintain a mutual understanding with our clients regarding the timelines for activity and the range of results that can be expected.
Through consistent project management techniques, this set of activities is updated in real time; and weekly reporting enables everyone involved to measure progress toward the objectives and to pinpoint locations where the search process may be experiencing bottlenecks or breakdowns. Any barriers to success are identified and resolved immediately, rather than waiting until the end of the process to review what went wrong and what went right. This planning technique ensures quality by identifying both problems and opportunities as they arise and by assigning responsibility for each step along the way.
As part of their internal performance evaluation, consultants are evaluated on their planning ability, their use and management of these plans and their achievement of the established metrics. Clients, in turn, are asked to provide their evaluation of how well account team members have used the planning tools and metrics. |
