We have access to some of the most senior executives working across the region. But we don't stop there; our objective is to find the best candidates, no matter where they are located. Having placed senior management resources in over 100 MNC's, we understand the process of search and selection to a level rarely experienced in the SE Asian market.
As employees progress through an organisation, opportunities for management roles emerge and we have developed an unrivalled track record in successfully identifying and attracting mid and senior management staff that can grow within your organisation into the future executives and management team for your growing business needs.
In today's commercial environment, the themes of globalisation, enhanced competition and increased customer expectation are the common challenges facing all leading organisations requiring competent, focused and proven executive professionals with outstanding leadership and management skills.
At RSI International Asia, we focus on Senior Management and Director search assignments for a wide variety of organisations.
These organisations include both large and emerging publicly held and private corporations, together with "not for profit” entities.
Our mission is straightforward; to add value to the Board of Directors and their shareholders by identifying, evaluating and presenting exceptional senior management candidates.
Types of assignments include:
As we see continual investment and market expansion in SE Asia, the need for highly skilled finance professionals has become increasingly apparent. In line with this, businesses are also becoming increasingly aware of the need for diversity, whereby organisations are keen to hire a true representation of the demographics of the region. The roles of chief financial officers and other senior finance executives are growing more complex and demanding. Not only are they expected to run the financial day to day operations of the company, they must guarantee the integrity of an organization's financial condition and reported results, enhance shareholder value, oversee mergers & acquisitions, establish an optimal risk management program, and keep a close watch on costs.
In addition, this must be done under scrutiny from the board of directors and shareholders alike. RSI International Asia focuses on finding experienced and proven senior finance managers who are seasoned finance professionals in all aspects of financial management.
Types of assignments include:
Finding really "hands on" dynamic and commercially astute and productive senior sales professionals in today's commercially driven environment is not for the timid.
Today's global customer base requires a multi-faceted approach to sales and marketing. With increased competition and an array of choices, customers have become very demanding and senior sales professionals need to really understand the needs of their target audience and more importantly build sound commercial relationships with their clients and customers alike.
At RSI International Asia, we focus on finding highly accomplished sales business development and marketing professionals across all the sales and marketing disciplines: VP Sales and Marketing, Business Development Director, Business Development Managers, Marketing Directors, Sales Directors, Sales Managers and Marketing Managers.
Types of assignments include:
The Human Resources function is playing an increasingly important role in organisations which now expect a strong commercial focus and a drive for business results from their HR partners.
As organisations focus on finding and retaining the best talent across all their disciplines, it is the HR function which is ultimately responsible for driving the talent agenda.
Successful management and retention of top talent will always be a key priority in any business and this can only be truly supported if the HR function also has these competencies and experience. At RSI International Asia, we focus on finding HR professionals across all the HR disciplines: HR Generalist, Learning and Development, HR Recruitment, Organisational Development, Employee and Industrial Relations, HR Compensation and Benefits and HR Shared Services. We work across a broad range of sectors.
Types of assignments include:
Supply chains have existed for a long time but many organisations have only recently understood, much less managed the entire chain of activities that ultimately delivered products to the final customer. The result was disjointed and often ineffective supply chains. Most companies now actively manage their supply chain activities in order to maximise customer value and achieve a sustainable competitive advantage. It represents a conscious effort by companies to develop and run supply chains in the most effective & efficient ways possible. The organisations that make up the supply chain are "linked" together through physical flows and information flows. Physical flows involve the transformation, movement, and storage of goods and materials. RSI International Asia focuses on finding exceptional candidates from the entire supply chain which covers product development, sourcing, production, and logistics, as well as the distribution systems needed to coordinate these activities.
Types of assignments include:
Among the first casualties in tough times are development activities and investment in people. However, it is exactly in times of great challenge that forward-thinking organisations show conviction and courage. They recognise that addressing the demographic trends that are shaping the future for consumer companies will require exceptional leadership talent. Further, history tells us that organisations which have made a thoughtful investment in talent enjoy positive returns even in a downturn and outperform their competitors over the longer term. This approach includes acquisition of key talent, as well as an effective strategy for developing and optimising the effectiveness of international teams. RSI International Asia is clients in Consumer and Retail comprise companies manufacturing and distributing food, beverages, personal care, durable goods and general merchandise.

Types of assignments include:
The compelling financial attraction for software development in Asia has long been known, but with the increasing sophistication of users and the need for Asian regional offices to offer local support, so the increase in regionally based resources has increased. Overseas IT vendors cannot rely on periodic visits to Asia if they wish to be taken seriously, no matter how compelling their proposition appears to be; face to face dialogue and local office presence is essential. This is fuelling demand in the IT sector for local expertise with comprehensive understanding of local business practices and processes. In addition, the increasing usage of sophisticated IT implementations for Cloud computing and related data security, CRM, PoS, ERM, etc. is driving demand for local business development, project management, implementation and technical support resources. RSI International Asia has in-depth expertise in this sector with a combined knowledge spanning more than 50 years in the IT arena.
Types of assignments include:
The insurance industry in Asia is undergoing significant change. The introduction of Risk Based Capital is leading to a huge demand in actuarial, underwriting and risk management resources.
In the case of capital adequacy shortfalls, raising reserves in the current climate can be a challenge and as a consequence we are seeing M & A activity leading to increased personnel requirements.
The focus of foreign insurers to establish and expand across the region continues to grow and this is driving the demand for skilled insurance executives at all levels.
