Our uniqueness

We combine deep commercial knowledge with sound cultural understanding of the different countries throughout the Asia-Pacific region.

Our focus

Salzer Consulting assists clients to achieve exceptional growth through:

  • Organic expansion: Rapid expansion of workforce and start-up support
  • Inorganic expansion: M&A support - HR and leadership due diligence, post acquisition support and revitalisation, and organisation transformation
  • Market entry: Full HR outsourcing and general advisory support for entry into new markets
  • Executive search: Resourcing of senior executives, leadership teams and rare skills (including remote sites) and successful managing of localisation.

How we work with clients

We develop close collaborative partnerships with our clients and accept project responsibility. We initially scope the challenges resulting in the provision of a proposal containing a detailed plan to address the issues which is accompanied by a week by week schedule of activities and deliverables/milestones.

Our consultancy projects involve small teams of highly skilled consultants who establish project offices on-site working closely with our clients' management and staff always involving them in problem-solving and solutions.

Salzer Consulting executive search techniques differ from our competitors in that we do not accept clients where we could possibly have a conflict of interest; we can then search across all potential employers. Our well qualified researchers find the best candidate for the job using intelligence and sound business thinking combined with significant value-add as to local talent availability, cost management and retention/integration issues.

Salzer Consulting prides itself on a high degree of repeat business (80%) reflecting a high level of client satisfaction. Most clients use both our consultancy/project management services and our executive search services.

Engagement snapshots

  • We worked with the world's leading manufacturer of precision engines to put in place their regional succession planning in China, India, Japan, Korea, Singapore and the UAE.
  • A major USA based FMCG multinational was committed to a significant new growth programme in Asia-Pacific. All Asian divisions had problems due to non-responsiveness to western practices and lack of transparency. Salzer Consulting led the project to achieve the growth targets, to redesign the organisational structure, re-focus initiatives, initiate cultural change programmes and install a mentoring programme.
  • We assisted a US based company in the acquisition and consolidation of over a 1,000 food outlets across China by assessment and evaluation of the senior management team post acquisition, delivering outsourced HR support while building the HR team, salary benchmarking and conducting our specialised behaviour change programme for China - "Xin De Kai Duan".
