Top Executive Search & Leadership Advisory Firm in Asia | Stanton Chase Hong Kong

Stanton Chase Hong Kong: A Leading Executive Search Firm in Asia

Stanton Chase Hong Kong is one of the best executive search firms in Asia. Hong Kong is where East meets West. It is Asia’s financial capital. It is where multinational companies put their regional headquarters. And it is the gateway to Mainland China for businesses that want access to that market but need a base with a different legal system, a different business culture, and English as a working language.

We have been here since 1999 and joined Stanton Chase in 2007. Our team of Asian and Western consultants speaks over fifteen languages between them. We work hand in hand with our offices in Beijing and Shanghai to cover all of Greater China. When companies need executives who can operate across borders, they call us.

Hong Kong, Beijing, and Shanghai: One Greater China Team

We do not run three separate offices that happen to share a name. We operate as one Greater China team.

Looking for a Regional CEO based in Hong Kong who oversees operations in Shanghai and Beijing? We do that. Need a CFO who can work with regulators in Hong Kong and investors in New York? We know those candidates. Want to hire a China MD who reports to a regional head in Singapore? We have done that search many times.

Our consultants understand both sides. Some are from Hong Kong. Some are expatriates who have spent years here. Some are from Mainland China. That mix lets us find executives who can bridge cultures and get things done across the region.

Why Hong Kong Companies Choose Stanton Chase

25+ Years in This Market

We started in Hong Kong in 1999. We have watched this city change, and we have changed with it. That history has built us a network and a reputation that newer firms cannot match.

A Team Built for Cross-Border Searches

Our consultants speak over fifteen languages. Cantonese, Mandarin, English, and more. We can run searches across Hong Kong, Mainland China, Southeast Asia, and beyond without missing a beat.

Regional Headquarters Expertise

Hong Kong is full of regional headquarters. We have spent years recruiting executives for these operations. We know what it takes to lead a regional business from here.

Global When You Need It

As part of Stanton Chase, we have access to more than 70 offices in 45 countries. If a search takes us to Singapore, Sydney, London, or New York, we have colleagues on the ground.

What Makes Stanton Chase Hong Kong Different from Other Executive Search Firms?

We Know Both Sides

Hong Kong sits between Mainland China and the rest of the world. We have consultants who understand both. That makes us effective at searches that cross borders and cultures.

Partners Do the Work

Our partners stay involved in every search from beginning to end. You work with experienced people throughout, not just at the first meeting.

Clients Come Back

70% of our clients are repeat clients. They come back because we deliver and because we are easy to work with.

Our Values

We built this business on trust, integrity, and respect. We are honest with our clients about what we can do. We treat candidates well. We do what we say we will do. That is why most of our work comes from clients who have used us before and people who have been referred to us.
