“Our global clients have been asking us to follow them to areas where Human Capital needs are even more acute than in the United States,” said Managing Partner, Ken Vancini. “Certainly the Asia Pacific Region, Canada, and Latin America are on the top of most international firm’s lists of areas for talent acquisition because of their phenomenal economic growth rate.
