Your HR consultancy
for China
With us, you’ll find hand-picked executives who ensure your goals on-site in the long term.
Finding key personnel for China means: High costs for misplacements, cultural barriers, and uncertainty about long-term success. These risks are magnified over 8,000 kilometers of distance.
We create predictable results through proven selection processes and 20 years of on-site experience. As intercultural bridge builders, we find personalities who fit your company professionally and personally.
Misplacements in China: More than just a cost factor – a strategic risk.
Are you facing a crucial decision for your China business? We understand the complexity and urgency of your situation:
- Time-critical replacement: Has an executive unexpectedly resigned? Every week of vacancy costs you momentum, market share, and unsettles your team.
- Long-term succession planning: Is a wave of retirements approaching? Secure your legacy and growth without risking operational disruptions.
- Transformation Change: Does your company need to reorient – proactively for growth or reactively due to performance or compliance issues?
Each of these situations carries significant risks – far beyond mere recruitment costs. Wrong decisions lead to friction losses, demotivation, reputational damage, and jeopardize your China strategy.
Selecting leadership personnel based on superficial job descriptions often results in ruinous recruitment cycles that waste time, money, and opportunities. Hesitation costs the future.
The Steinkellner Method: We don’t search for resumes – we find key shapers for your goals.
An impressive resume is not enough. Where standard processes fail in China, our Steinkellner Method goes a step further: We focus not only on qualifications but on clear impact goals – so your executive can do what they’re supposed to do.
- Guaranteed Intercultural Fit: Our two-stage European-Chinese selection process ensures executives who fit culturally and strategically – you minimize risks and accelerate implementation.
- Unique Insights Efficiency: Thanks to video recordings, you gain a well-founded impression independent of time – you conserve resources and increase your decision quality.
- Active Process Control Planning Security: We actively manage the process with a project management attitude – you gain reliability and focus.
- Uncompromising Quality Transparency: You receive honest assessments – you avoid detours and make sustainable decisions.
Methodical clarity and structure in the recruitment process for executives
To minimize risks and maximize results, we follow a proven methodology for clarity and transparency. This structured process guarantees an efficient and successful placement process:
- In-depth Analysis Situation Understanding: We analyze your situation, advise you on the task, and provide an honest initial assessment.
- Definition of Impact Goals: Together, we define what your executive must achieve.
- Calibration Profile Sharpening: Using dry profiles, we ensure that we understand your needs exactly.
- Structured Search Selection: Our team in Europe and China starts the direct search and conducts the two-stage, intercultural selection process.
- Presentation Decision: We present you with hand-picked personalities, accompany the interviews, and support you until the choice between two top talents.
- Guided Onboarding: Our responsibility and our partnership do not end with the signing of the contract.
Your Result: Sustainable success through hand-picked executives.
Our Steinkellner Method serves your lasting success and strategic security. With our success alliance, you gain:
- Tailor-made Shapers: Hand-picked leadership personalities who understand your vision, live your culture, and implement your goals.
- Strategic Security: You end ruinous recruitment cycles, avoid costs and risks, and secure your growth.

„Steinkellner China Search ist ein mittlerweile langjähriger Kooperationspartner von DEWETRON GmbH – dies auch mit vollem Erfolg und großer Zufriedenheit.
Dies Zusammenarbeit erfolgte vonBeginn an mit umfangreicher Vorbereitung, dem ausgeprägten Verständnis für die Anforderungen unseres Business – es wurden uns Kandidat/innen mit optimalen Anforderungsprofil vorgestellt – als auch die hervorragende Zusatzkomponente, sich in das Gegenüber rein denken zu können und daraus resultierend, entsprechend zu Handeln.
Auch in dieser herausfordernden Zeit mit COVID-19, war das Rekrutieren in Zusammenarbeit mit Steinkellner China Search sehr professionell. Anstatt persönlicher Gespräche, wurden sehr zeitnah sowie flexibel Video-Calls für ein Erstinterview durchgeführt.“
„Obwohl sich das Anforderungsprofil mehrmals geändert hat, hat Steinkellner China Search schnell darauf reagiert und uns dem Anforderungsprofil entsprechend sehr gute Werksleiter-Kandidaten präsentiert. 9 Monate nach Rekrutierung kann ich sagen, dass ich mit der Wahl und der Performance des Kandidaten sehr zufrieden bin.“
„Die intensive Beratung vom Anfang bis zum Ende war für mich sehr wichtig. Das kann nicht jeder. Außerdem war ich von der Geschwindigkeit überrascht, mit der wir den richtigen Kandidaten gefunden haben.“
„Wir haben jetzt endlich einen unschlagbaren Mann vor Ort, mit dem wir wirklich vorankommen – und das obwohl wir ihn trotz Corona nie persönlich kennen lernen konnten.
Der neue Werksleiter war die beste Personalentscheidung des Jahres 2021!“
„Sie haben uns zwei perfekte Kandidaten für die finale Auswahl geliefert und einen davon konnte unser Joint Venture Partner auswählen. Genau wie wir es vorab geplant hatten.“
Let’s take the first step together: Let’s talk.
Filling key positions in China is strategically crucial. Act now, because vacancies cost market opportunities.
As a boutique consultancy, we ensure the highest quality through intense focus and close guidance by Manfred Steinkellner personally – our capacities are therefore limited.
If you’re ready for a sustainable solution, let’s begin the dialogue:
