The Taplow Group Adds New Member Firm in China
March 18, 2021 – Even in the face of a global pandemic, executive search consultants are seeing an increase in hiring mandates from around the world. To meet demand, they continue to develop new practices, hire new recruiters and open new locations. Global recruiting consortiums, meanwhile, are taking advantage of a resurgence in certain geographic areas. Global recruiting consortium The Taplow Group has expanded with the addition of China Dox as its newest member firm. The firm will now be known as Taplow China and will offer executive search, human capital, and board advisory services in China and internationally.
