Welcome to Cornerstone Asia!

Cornerstone’s Asia region is comprised of 7 locally owned search firms that help clients fill key positions wherever the need for such leaders arises. Whether supporting clients in their own local market or calling on the bench strength of other Cornerstone members in the region or globally, Cornerstone Asia members provide their clients with the highest level of service. Quality is what matters most as we deliver tailor-made services, with an attention to detail you expect from a boutique search firm. For more than 30 years we have had a strong presence in the Executive Search industry, leading searches for companies across a variety of industries, functions, and locations.

Our members are well placed to help these firms realize qualified managers are critical to grow their businesses and meet challenges at home and abroad.

We know every search requires a dedicated team that understands the needs and goals of each client. Our success is proven by the many clients who repeatedly return to us for their recruiting requirements. Why? As a result, our members have gained industry recognitions including “China Recruitment Firm of the Year” award, the “Trustworthy HR Service Unit” award and others.

As part of the Association of Executive Search and Leadership Consultants (AESC), we hold ourselves to the highest quality standards. We search both locally and around the globe to deliver leaders of the highest caliber to our clients.

In addition to providing top-notch talent to our clients, we also offer Leadership Development and Executive Coaching services. We believe organizations need outstanding resources to retain and develop great talent, and we make these resources available to our clients. These include Executive Coaching, Assessments and Board & CEO Advisory Consulting.
