Recruitment Consultant jobs in Hong Kong

Here at Michael Page, we know there’s more to recruitment than simply posting a job listing and waiting for someone suitable to come along. Employers pay good money to specialist recruiters to match the right people to the right roles, so if you’re looking to become a Recruitment Consultant in Hong Kong you’ll need to have an understanding of a variety of different tasks.

Among your many duties in such a role will be screening candidates and paring down a long list of hopefuls to a shorter, more manageable selection of genuine possibilities for the role in question. You’ll need to understand how to carry out background checks, how to evaluate experience in previous jobs and how to fully understand exactly what type of individual the client is looking for.

Above all else, perhaps, you’ll have to be a people person, one who knows how to make candidates feel at their ease, and how to communicate with clients about the plus and minus points of each candidate. It will also be beneficial if you can work calmly under pressure, because there will be times when deadlines for interviews are fast approaching.

Square pegs for square holes is the key to success

Matching candidates to vacancies can be something of an art form, especially with the more senior roles, but if you have the experience and the talent the chances are you have developed a sixth sense about who fits into the scheme of things and who doesn’t. Successful Recruitment Consultants in Hong Kong can earn very well, and of course working here in a major global business hub means there’s always plenty to keep you occupied.

Whilst specific experience in the recruitment field is a major advantage, other roles in your past might help. They include the likes of:

• Recruitment Trainee
• Human Resources Manager
• Development Officer
• Training Advisor
• Careers Advisor
• Junior Recruiter
• Business Development Executive
• Careers Administrator
• Human Resources Assistant

…and many more. There are a number of general recruitment organisations here in HK, as well as some that specialise in certain fields such as education, medical, construction, temp work, senior management and technology. If you’ve recruited in one specific discipline it won’t be overly difficult to switch over to another.
