"The Chinese market is offering the largest growth opportunities for consumer goods companies today. While the Chinese consumers are maturing and the competition intensifies, finding the right talents to lead these companies through a sustainable success remains a major challenge, and a decisive source of competitive advantage. I have worked with Emmanuel Hemmerle on multiple executive searches in the past. Emmanuel offers a unique knowledge into the Chinese market dynamics, he provides invaluable insights into the talent pool. His cultural versatility is unique to help headquarters around the world identify the right leaders to capture the opportunities that China is offering."

"Emmanuel Hemmerle has worked for me on a couple of very strategic recruitments as we were building the leading team of our organization in Greater China. Emmanuel quickly grabbed the uniqueness of both our industry and our model of development through partnerships. The profiles we were looking for were unique. We did not have at the time a strong recruiter brand. He was able to create the stage for us to explain what makes our Company a great place to work for. Emmanuel is a strong partner, able to work along with you in challenging times, always available and very ethical. No need to say he has a deep understanding of China matters and a real network, a key for success, particularly in China."

"Emmanuel Hemmerle understands very well the market dynamic and our company culture. Despite a very challenging context, he managed to present us some very talented candidates, leading to a key recruitment. Unlike many executive search firms generating long lists, Emmanuel's shortlist was a handful of spot-on candidates. So the process was smooth and efficient."

"Emmanuel played a critical role in helping us staff our Management Team in China, not only searching for the best talents in the market, but making sure that both skills and fit were right.

Emmanuel particularly managed the process flawlessly, with regular check points all the way through the final stage and beyond, with post recruitment evaluation to make sure we did the right decision and were satisfied, and also helping the placed executives during their on-boarding.

Thanks to his support we have successfully built a solid Leadership Team, in various high level positions from General Management of China to Merchandising and other position perceived today as a benchmark within our organisation and delivering results beyond our expectations. I sincerely recommend Emmanuel not only as a search consultant, but also as a business partner, genuinely invested to provide you with the best resources; he is able to quickly understand our business, can read people really well, and is very knowledgeable about the Chinese market.”

"I have had the pleasure of working with Emmanuel both as a client and as a candidate. Expertise and humanity are indeed the words that describe him best and those are the qualities that set him apart. Emmanuel excels at his craft – he works hard to understand your business and the culture of your organization to find the talent that meets your exact requirements. In doing so, he works with you in true partnership providing excellent advice and results. Emmanuel understands the importance and value of long term relationships and works accordingly with clients and candidates. He treats both parties with respect and care which I believe is a key ingredient of his success coupled with his profound knowledge of his profession, business and China. Emmanuel is one of a kind and I can wholeheartedly recommend him."

"Investors and senior executives within global consumer and retail companies have a tendency to look at China as if it were one coherent market and have often underestimated the speed of evolution of that market as it is driven by incrementally young, demanding and wealthy consumers. With his breadth of experience of the Chinese corporate landscape and exceptional insights, Emmanuel Hemmerle has demonstrated a unique capacity to address the misconceptions and make sense from the intricacies of the Chinese corporate world. As such, he has become an invaluable resource for many companies looking for talent in China."

"Montblanc as an employer of choice needs to work with partners who share the same values such as EH.

In a fast evolving market like China finding the right talent to run your business has become the biggest challenge. Emmanuel listened to my briefs carefully; he quickly understood what my priorities were and he not only presented to me candidates in the right profile for the roles, but also went beyond to analyze thoroughly the candidates' personality as it is also an equivalently challenging aspect of inter human relationships within any company.

I appreciate that he is very detail oriented and his persistencies to search for the right candidate without any compromise makes him an excellent business partner. Furthermore is the continuous follow up that EH does with candidates and company after the on boarding which convince me in using EH again.

Emmanuel has a substantial knowledge of China and a strong network of connections that he generously shares the insights of his knowledge on people from all walks of industry."

"Emmanuel is a strategic partner, very trustworthy and with high standards for ethics and integrity when searching for senior leader. He is and advisor with a strong Chinese market knowledge especially in Luxury and Retail, furthermore he engages with best candidates in Greater China. Emmanuel quickly grabs the business need and translate it into leadership profiles that fit with company culture. Regardless of the geographical distance, Emmanuel's collaboration and communication is extremely good.

I strongly recommend his services, both from a client or a candidate standpoint. "
