Executive search and selection firm O’Neill Consulting Group has expanded its global presence with the opening of an office in Shanghai, China.

The new office, located in one of the most important cultural, commercial and communications centres of China, will better enable O’Neill Consulting Group to offer retained executive search and selection services to clients throughout Asia.

According to the firm, a primary focus for the new office will be both US-based and Chinese companies who continue to find it hard to access talent, particularly in the industrial, consumer goods and financial services industries.
