Why Cornerstone
Why Cornerstone
Your Partner for China and Global Success
As a CEO, you’re focused on innovation, growth, and building a resilient organization. To do that, you need more than a service provider—a partner who understands your challenges, shares your vision, and delivers tangible results. That’s where CORNERSTONE comes in.
Our Story
Rooted in China, Anchored Globally
Since 1995, Cornerstone International Group has been a trusted partner for organizations in China and beyond. Launched initially as China Team Executive Search, we were among the first headhunting firms licensed by the Shanghai Government.
Our journey reflects a commitment to excellence that has earned us accolades like Recruitment Firm of the Year and Most Trusted HR Service Provider in China. Our proven track record of delivering tangible results is a testament to our commitment to your success.
In 1999, we rebranded as Cornerstone and quickly established ourselves as experts in retained executive search, specializing in Industrial, Consumer, Life Sciences, and Financial Services sectors.
Cornerstone Offices
A pivotal moment came in 2012 when our founder, Simon Wan, became the Chairman and CEO of Cornerstone Worldwide. Under his leadership, we adopted dual headquarters in Shanghai and the USA, making us one of the only global HR consulting firms firmly anchored in the world’s largest economies.
Our “High-Service Orientation” DNA in 40 countries and 60 offices sets us apart—a dedication to delivering tailored, high-impact solutions. Whether bridging cultural divides or sourcing top talent across borders, we excel at helping our clients succeed locally and globally.
