Message from the CEO

Finding and placing the best talent in a top company is more than just a business. It’s an art, it’s a science and it’s a human skill. At a simple level, industry professionals are looking to extend themselves and maximize their potential, while on the corporate side, companies want to tap into that potential and get the very best talent working for them.

But it’s about more than putting pegs into holes. At Slate, we realize that we must connect the best with the best. We also understand that placing a professional with a client means not only knowing our business, but also knowing their business.

Professionals looking for career advancement and personal development know that we will pursue their goals with the same passion they are putting into their own careers. We only look good if they look good.

Our corporate clients can rest easy knowing that our standards of recruitment, ethics and commitment will match theirs to the full. We aim to become ‘as one’ with our clients so that we understand their needs, their vision and their philosophy.

At Slate, we relentlessly track down the best people to put in the best positions in the best companies across the Asia Pacific region. And we don’t compromise. Your standards are our standards. Your goals are our goals. Your success is our success.

Success starts here at Slate. We’re waiting to help you.

Practice Groups

Every Slate professional belongs to an industry or functional Practice Group according to their knowledge, expertise and passion. Through these practices, we pool our sector and candidate knowledge and conduct focused research on the respective industries across geographical borders.

We also recognize that job descriptions and requirements don’t always fall into simple categories. Corporate compliance, Internet strategies and human resource requirements, for example, mean that job definitions and concepts are shifting. At Slate, we are constantly moving, too. We assess, we assimilate and we act. No company can afford to stand still and we recognize that here at Slate. Our instincts are fine, our reactions sharp. We are ready to act.

The Search Process

Slate was built utilizing proactive search processes that help to bring about the most consistent and effective results. These processes produce the best results at global, regional and local levels and guarantee that we meet the expectations of our clients and candidates.

Slate is continuously innovating to stay ahead of the competition. Our leading-edge proprietary systems and technologies have enabled us to create a global network of research centers that help to generate fresh opportunities and fresh resolutions in the field of human capital.

Search Strategy

We carry out in-depth consultations with our clients to evaluate their needs and determine the best approach to meeting their requirements. We target the key factors surrounding these requirements and build up a thorough understanding of the position details and necessary qualifications involved, as well as the client’s position in the market place and corporate culture.

Once we’ve developed a position profile, we define the search area and target sectors before focusing on specific companies and seeking out the ideal candidate for the post.

Assessment

The next step is to conduct preliminary inquiries and develop an initial candidate list. We meet and assess a small number of potential candidates through personal contact and interviews. Slate’s professional staff then prepare a confidential candidate assessment report which is presented to the client for review. When the client is ready to proceed, Slate moves to make the connection and assist further as required.
