What EFC Link（华嗣咨询） does

EFC Link (华嗣咨询) is a privately held Chinese human resource management solutions provider founded in 2014 and headquartered in Shanghai, China. The company operates an integrated services portfolio across eight branded product lines: Rightraining public training (open-enrollment courses in six cities), Rightraining internal training (customized corporate programs), project consulting (covering HR management, labor law, strategic management, organizational change, and equity incentives), Amoeba Institute (localization of Amoeba management methodology), Team Building (500+ customized experiential programs), SAC or Special Advisor Center (zero-cost on-demand expert talent matching), President Circle (总裁圈) executive networking platform with 20,000+ active members, and HRES (vertical HR headhunting at 10% of annual salary). Underlying capabilities include a database with tens of millions of HR data records, a network of approximately 1,000 contracted lecturers across 18 industries, a content library of more than 2,000 customized training courses, and a case repository of nearly 1,000 consulting projects. EFC Link serves over 5,000 enterprise customers annually, with named clients spanning financial services (CITIC Bank), automotive (Mercedes-Benz China, FAW Group, Toyota), home appliances (Midea, Gree), energy (State Grid, CNPC, Sinopec), telecommunications (China Mobile, China Unicom), real estate (Wanda, Vanke), and education (Tsinghua University executive programs).

The business model combines transactional and subscription revenue mechanics. Public training operates on per-person, per-course pricing (RMB 4,580–6,800 for typical 2-day programs), while internal training and project consulting are sold as professional services engagements with custom pricing. HRES uses outcome-based pricing at 10% of annual salary (versus traditional 20–25%), and SAC operates on a zero-recruitment-fee model. President Circle generates subscription and event revenue from a membership community. The go-to-market blends digital lead capture via efclink.com with enterprise field sales, and leverages the President Circle community as a referral channel. The company maintains offices in Shanghai (headquarters), Beijing, and Shenzhen, and delivers public training across Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Guangzhou, and Hangzhou. With 71 employees supplemented by ~1,000 contracted lecturers and 100+ coaches, EFC Link is a founder/management-owned private company with no disclosed external institutional funding, subsidiaries, or parent entities.
