Four pools of talent in China
...It is hard to deny the fact that for the last decade Chinese economic growth has becomeone of the most influential factors of the modern world development. As this economic growthcontinues, the demand for recruiting top quality executives, in a rapidly expanding and highlycompetitive environment, grows exponentially. However, being the most populated country inthe world and the global leader in terms of economic growth, China suffers from a substantialshortage of quality professionals caused mainly by the defects of national higher educationsystem, uneven regional development of the country and unfair hiring practices. Therefore it isimportant that professional recruitment companies appear on the market.
Antal International is an international executive recruitment company, well suited to providingmultinationals with the very best mid to senior level candidates and professional recruitmentsolutions. Since 1994, Antal International China has successfully placed talented candidatesin various industries and core disciplines of this diverse marketplace. From our experienceand knowledge of the Chinese recruitment market, we can distinguish four main pools oftalent in China.
Western expatriatesbuild up the first group. Traditionally they are being sent from the headoffice when a Western Company opens up a China office in order to bring technologies,management strategy and quality assurance systems, as well as to find qualified locals totake their places in future. The next pool is “filled” with Asian Expatriates –Mandarinspeakers from Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Attracted by business andcareer opportunities in China, many of them have a favorable combination of Western andAsian mentality, expertise and necessary language skills, thus are being successfullyemployed by MNCs. The third pool is represented by Locals, which have never left China.Usually they are being employed for “junior-to-middle” level position. However, the ones thatare at the most demand are Returnees, who are People’ s Republic of China nationals thatgot their first degree in China and a graduate or post-graduate degree from the USA, Europeor Australia. Usually they have essential working experience in multinational corporations orcurrently working for one and are either already back to China or would like to do so. AntalInternational has an extensive experience of brining Chinese nationals back totheirmotherland, which is particularly important considering the present shortage of talents Chinais facing with. High demand for returnees is caused by several obvious reasons –they havevaluable experience, they know the local market better, they speak Mandarin and they arenative Chinese. At the same time, it is logical that high demand has led to the returnees’salaries rise and the number of those who decided to return. According to the China Ministryof Education, 27, 200 Chinese nationals chose to return to China to work after completingtheir studies abroad at their own expense in 2005, which is 48 percent higher than theprevious year. Thus, the booming economy, increasing opportunities to start up their ownbusiness or develop their career in MNCs, and preferential policies for the returned studentshave returnees home, creating a vast pool of top quality candidates.

For companies recruiting: Make Decisions!
In a recruitment market as hot as China – decisions are key to success in attractingand retaining the best candidates. Many new investors in the market wait to find theideal candidate – the ‘sheep with 5 legs’. They don’t exist. Be very aware of this.The most important aspect of any successful hire is that there is a good relationshipbetween candidate and employer, the candidate has most of the skills required to dothe job, they have the right attitude, and there is a cultural match.Many clients waitto find the candidate that has every last one of the skills required to do the job andloose the personal connection – the chemistry that will make the relationship work.The moral of the story is: Take decisions! If you meet someone who you like, andcan either do the job or be trained in areas where they are weak, hire them,because if you don’t someone else will………
For Candidates: Cash is not king!
“Never ever accept a candidate who is solely motivated by money””! This is a quote from a recent Antal International Induction training session to the new summer recruits. This is so very true. Cash really is not king. If you are considering a career move, think about why you really want to do it. Think about your training and development. Think about how this will appear on your CV. 50,000 RMB more a year might feel better in the short term, but in the long term if you ignore your career in favor of short term cash, you’ll miss out on training, promotions, development and ultimately more cash in the future!

Howcanwehelpyou?
Are you looking for in-house lawyers or need to add value into your management team? Antal Legal can help.
Just over a decade ago, in-house lawyers in China were almost nonexistent. Moreover, according to scholars, even though China hasalong legal history, only in August 1980 was the legal profession officially legitimized. Since then, the ranks of the legal profession in Chinahave expanded swiftly.
What is igniting this phenomenon is China’s business boom. In 2006, China is expected to become the fourth-largest economy in theworld, and what is more, China is cranking out more laws and regulations to govern all that business activity. The result is anunprecedented demand for legal talent. Therefore nowadays more and more companies in China are no longer rushing to costlyinternational law firms for help every time a question comes up. On the contrary, they are increasingly grooming their own legal teams tocompete in the heated China market. Why? Because in-house lawyers add value to the overall business process and, thus, save timeand money. At the same time, having in-house lawyers has become a sort of status symbol –an unalienable part of company’s businessimage.
However, even though multinationals and elite Chinese companies are eager to fill these jobs, many of them are still trying to find a perfectblend of skills, which would best fit their needs. From our experience on and an understanding of China recruitment market we know thatthe legal talent pool has never been stronger: bilingual lawyers with top law firm experience, particularly those Westerns, who landed inChina or Hong Kong in the early ‘90s and are now seasoned dealmakers, ripe for top in-house legal jobs. Meanwhile, there is a whole new
