Tao Associates 

Harrison Tao has been in Talent Acquisition since 1975 - long before the term was coined - helping organizations of all types and sizes identify, source, attract, select, hire, and retain the best people.  He has moved easily and successfully between traditional Executive Search (20 years) and in-house Talent Acquisition roles with leading organizations in the Professional Services,  not-for-profit, and Corporate worlds. Born in Hong-Kong, he grew up in Brazil before immigrating to the USA as a teenager.  Harrison speaks Chinese, Portuguese, English, and Spanish.  He is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, PA, his home-base.
