History of Bó Lè


 简体中文    繁體中文


Bó Lè Associates was established in 1996, drawing the inspiration from a famous proverb in the Tang Dynasty about Bó Lè (伯乐), a legend who possessed a unique ability to identify the best horse from among a thousand great horses. We continue the legacy of Bó Lè in our commitment to the "Best of the Best" philosophy. We work for the "best" company to help them to look for the "best" candidates, there are many good candidates, but only Bó Lè can find the "successful" candidate.

Over the past 17 years, we have expanded our presence and network rapidly from one office to 25 wholly owned offices in a number of countries across the world.
