Human Capital Alliance

What Human Capital Alliance does

Human Capital Alliance is a Bangkok-based executive search and senior advisory firm founded in September 2003 by a team originating from Korn Ferry Thailand, with an early bolt-on acquisition of Deloitte's executive recruitment arm in Thailand. The firm operates two integrated service lines: a Leadership Executive Search practice that places C-level executives (CEO, COO, CMO, CSO, CTO, CIO, CFO, CPO) and functional directors via retained mandates, and a Senior Advisory Services practice that deploys independent senior professionals for project-based consulting, interim leadership, and strategic initiatives on 1-18 month engagements.

The firm serves enterprise clients in Thailand — primarily subsidiaries of Fortune 500 companies, Asian conglomerates, international joint ventures, and institutional investors — across financial services, consumer goods, healthcare, technology, industrial, and hospitality verticals. Its core asset base is a curated bench of senior advisors with prior multinational leadership experience, supplemented by membership in the SpenglerFox international alliance, which provides access to over 200 consultants across Asia, EMEA, and North America.

The business model is pure professional services: retainer-based fees for search mandates and project-based fees for advisory engagements. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales built on long-term relationships rather than digital marketing or channel partnerships, with thought leadership delivered through an Insights publication channel. The firm is privately held, operates from a single headquarters at Sathorn Square in Bangkok, has 11-50 employees, and does not disclose revenue, funding, or detailed ownership structure.
