昨今香港ではアジアの人材供給の「ハブ」としての機能を強化しており、Manpower Hong Kongでも中国・ベトナム・台湾にマネージメントレベルの優秀な人材を積極的に送り出しています。
リージョナルオフィスの多い香港は、地理的にもグローバルな人材の供給地点であり、多くの日本人も活躍しています。今回は、Manpower Hong KongでのCase Studyを紹介します。

Case Study I – Hong Kong – China (Manufacturing and Retail)

Our client, a large China-owned and based manufacturing and retail company in southern Mainland China was seeking to hire an experienced Vice President of Sales.

The client was particularly interested to hire a candidate from Hong Kong, as they were determined that candidate's from Hong Kong would possess the sufficient international experience required to help grow the business and expand into international markets. Having identified a shortlist of potential candidates from Hong Kong, our client subsequently offered one particular candidate the job. Our candidate accepted the position on the strength that the role would provide him with the opportunity to fully utilize his existing Greater China and international business experience. In addition, our candidate was delighted with the chance to further develop his career with an ambitious and progressive China-based firm. At this time, he has successfully taken up the responsibilities, is currently recruiting his own sales team, and performing well and enjoying his new role.

Case Study II – Hong Kong – China (Management Consulting firm)

A job for a senior Centre Director in southern China had become vacant due to retirement within our client, an international management consulting firm.

Our client had tried unsuccessfully to recruit from within the local market and experiencing no success, decided to expand the search to include out-of-country-based candidates. Given the level of seniority of the Centre Director and the depth of experience and expertise required, Hong Kong became an obvious source of potential candidates to fill this role. Having spoken extensively to a number of potentially suitable candidates, we identified a candidate who possessed significant previous China experience and who was seeking to return to the China market with a view to utilising his experience and business connections.

Subsequently, the candidate was offered the role and delighted to join this internationally recognised and reputable firm, famous for providing high-level business consultancy services. Our candidate has quickly gained traction within the firm, as he is familiar with the China market and, more importantly, is able to add enormous credibility to our client's operations, given his previous background and exposure in both the Hong Kong and China consultancy sector.
