The document discusses an international search conducted by a company called safesearch to find a Divisional Director of Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) for a client in China. Specifically: The client required a Chinese national with at least 15 years of EHS experience in a multinational company to develop and implement a safety program across over 100 Chinese cities.

1. International Search
EHS Director – China
The Challenge
Our China based client engaged safesearch to undertake an international
search for a Divisional Director EHS. They required a Chinese national to
develop and drive a behavioral safety program across the entire China
region and their footprint in over 100 Chinese cities. This was a highly
diverse role responsible for the delivery of safety across multiple
manufacturing facilities, 100 branch offices, over 500 individual
construction sites and three corporate offices.
To successfully deliver this assignment we were required to identify a
EHS professional with a minimum of 15 years EHS experience gained
within either a US or European multi-national and with exposure to the
heavy industrial and/or construction sectors.
The solution
safesearch undertook an extensive market mapping and social media
campaign to identify senior Chinese EHS professionals within either a
multi-national heavy industrial or tier one construction organization.
Once identified we directly engaged the candidates to determine interest
and suitability. This included a behavioral interview in which we assessed
technical capabilities and cultural fit. The direct approach allowed us to
engage and influence high level EHS candidates by selling the features
and benefits of the organisation and the opportunity.
We then prepared the candidate summaries, organised client/candidate
interviews, reference checking and remuneration negotiations
Result
We successfully placed a senior EHS professional with experience
successfully delivering a strategic safety program for a European multi-
national.
