Clients and Friends,
With Q2 well underway, we wanted to update you on recent Nosal Partners news and milestones. Throughout the first part of the new year, we continued to experience steady demand in assignments involving top-grading of talent and bench strength building across industries and functional areas. In addition to CEO, CFO, CMO, COO and President/General Manager searches, we are currently conducting numerous senior-level searches in functions ranging from ecommerce to merchandising, to product development and customer relations.
Recent Publications
Nosal Partners is at the forefront of thinking on talent acquisition and leadership challenges experienced at the highest organizational levels. We would like to share with you our most recent publication on recruiting senior-level talent in China.

With many of our client organizations continuing to expand into China, we took a closer look at the challenges to recruiting and attracting talent in a region where senior leaders are in scarce supply. Lee Brantingham, Managing Director of our Shanghai and Beijing offices through NGS Global, and I wrote a white paper that investigates the causes of the talent shortage in China and provides strategies for building best-in-class teams in a highly competitive environment.
