Bridging the Gap between DACH Companies and Talent in Asia

As DACH companies expand into Asia’s dynamic and fast-growing markets, one of the most critical success factors is identifying the right talent — individuals who not only bring the required expertise but also align with both the your company’s values and the local culture.

The Challenge: 
Navigating Two Worlds

Recruiting for cross-border roles often means balancing different expectations, cultures, and communication styles. Companies frequently face the challenge of coordinating between headquarters in the DACH region and local dynamics in Asia. While internal HR teams or external partners may bring valuable strengths, they sometimes lack either the deep local market knowledge or the nuanced understanding of DACH business culture — especially when it comes to the specific needs of mid-sized, family-owned enterprises.This can result in misalignment during the hiring process, making it harder to identify professionals who truly fit — both in competence and cultural compatibility.

At Passenheim Consulting, we close this gap.
