Background

When one of the world’s leading fish and seafood wholesaler wanted to set up an operations hub in China, PageGroup was exclusively appointed as their partner to head the office set up and provide their overall recruitment needs.

Approach

Due to the language requirement, niche industry preference and tight on-boarding timeframe, this was a challenging assignment.

For the recruitment of the General Manager and China Finance Manager, we assigned a senior consultant and established a roadmap which covered each stage of the recruitment process. We advertised online across China and Hong Kong job boards and our Asia websites, conducted a comprehensive database search and utilised proactive networking and candidate referrals. We held face to face interviews and candidate assessments and provided a shortlist to the client within three days. After which, we will be assisting with the final interviews, candidate selection and on-boarding process.

For the recruitment of management and all other staffing positions, we established a dedicated team of six consultants across Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou and agreed on a roadmap which covered each stage of the recruitment process. We designed a customised Asia Pacific hiring website with the client’s branding, advertised online across China job boards and our Asia websites, conducted a comprehensive database search and utilised proactive networking and candidate referrals. We held face to face interviews and candidate assessments and provided a shortlist to the client within three days. After which, we will be assisting with the final interviews, candidate selection and on-boarding process.
