Go Global: Challenges and Opportunities of Talent Strategy, Southeast Asian and European Markets

PageGroup China worked with PageGroup’s Southeast Asian and European teams and hosted a webinar themed “Go Global: Challenges and Opportunities of Talent Strategy, Southeast Asian and European Markets”. Recruitment experts from PageGroup shared the overseas talent market prospects, opportunities, and challenges of building talent strategies, as well as first-hand recruitment suggestions.

The webinar was conducted in Chinese.

Successful Cases

Client’s challenges

Post-pandemic, the domestic market growth has been slow, leading clients to consider overseas expansion plans:

  • Limited understanding of the overseas talent market: Initially tried to expand business in Singapore but found talent costs exceeded the budget, making it challenging to choose the first destination for expansion.
  • As a local enterprise, both management and HR primarily communicate in Chinese: Most headhunting firms' consultants in overseas locations face language barriers, making smooth communication difficult.

Our approach

  • Target Market Identification: Helped the client pinpoint countries receptive to Chinese businesses and male apparel brands. After two months of analysis, Malaysia was chosen as the first entry point into Southeast Asia, focusing on retail and offline channels.
  • Client-Customised Expertise: Deployed a bilingual senior advisor (Mandarin/English) with expertise in cross-cultural negotiations to support seamless engagement in Malaysia.

Outcome

  • Successful Placement: Rrecruited two BD managers for the client.
  • High client interview rate: 73%
  • Client Satisfaction: Our end-to-end support in this first expansion phase earned their trust, leading to further job requirements and cementing our role as a strategic partner.

Client’s challenges

The client needs to expand to Singapore as part of its ChinaGoGlobal initiative, facing three key challenges:

  1. Talent Acquisition: Difficulty finding candidates with industry and local market knowledge.
  2. Cultural and Regulatory Differences: Adapting to distinct cultural and regulatory landscapes.
  3. Time Constraints: Ambitious timelines for establishing a presence in Singapore.

Our approach

  1. Market Research: Conducted in-depth research on Singapore's oil trading market with local insights.
  2. Recruitment Strategy: Identified a suitable candidate through our network and local expertise.
  3. Cultural and Regulatory Support: Provided training to help the candidate adapt to the local business environment.
  4. Collaboration: Kept close communication with the client to meet their specific needs.

Outcome

  1. Successful Placement: Identified and placed an exceptional candidate for the crude oil trader position in Singapore 2 weeks ahead of the client's expectation.
  2. Smooth Integration: The candidate integrated smoothly into the local market, building strong relationships and achieving high trading volumes.
  3. Client Satisfaction: The client was highly satisfied with our services, leading to increased trust and two additional positions currently in progress.

Client description:

One of the world's leading mobile internet service providers.

Client’s challenges

Client tasked us with recruiting a procurement manager in Singapore. The role has high requirements:

  1. The candidate must understand Singapore and the material supply dynamics in countries like Indonesia and Bangladesh
  2. They must be a Singaporean citizen to serve as the company’s legal representative in Singapore
  3. The role reports to teams in China and other countries, with no current staff in Singapore

Our approach

  1. Conducted one-on-one interviews to introduce the client and position, as the client had limited brand presence in Singapore.
  2. Sourced candidates from top Chinese consumer electronics firms and global companies in Singapore, while providing feedback on local talent and compensation.
  3. Cultural and Regulatory Support: Provided training to help the candidate adapt to the local business environment.
  4. Collaboration: Kept close communication with the client to meet their specific needs.

Outcome

  1. Target talent pool mapping and sent 9 CVs
  2. High client interview rate: 60%
  3. The candidate integrated seamlessly and assisted in establishing the client's Singapore office.
