Small executive search firms carve niches in Asia
Article Abstract:
The relatively untapped Asian headhunting business is booming, with most companies recording revenue growth at over 40% for the year. Niche players, such as Eban International Inc. and Wall Street Associates, sometimes struggle against the larger companies such as Heidrick & Struggles International Inc., Russell Reynolds Associates, ITP Worldwide Inc., TMP Worldwide, and Korn/Ferry International Inc. While there is room for growth, independent headhunting companies run the risk of losing their efficiency when they attempt to take on too large a market too quickly.
