„Mr. Schulz-Oster co-worked with me on a talent review project with a focus on our employee development activity and a compensation review project to introduce salary levels, mid points and competitive packages especially for key talents. I was deeply impressed with him not only the professional knowledge and skill sets he shared with us but also the highly active and devout working attitude he exhibited. He also has the analytical skills to diagnose problems and devise viable solutions. I recommend him for any international or Chinese company setting up S.M.A.R.T ta­lent management or competitive compensation structure without reservation.„.
