Hays Human Resources - January 2010
CHINA
Hotspots
Staffing professionals are needed as the market slowly recovers. Following the redundancies of 2009, a welcome market recovery and plans for the Shanghai World Expo are creating this demand.
The coming quarter
Good hiring prospects exist for 2010, with many jobs available early this year. Executive activity is also promising. Generic Human Resources Manager and Human Resources Director vacancies are available once more.
Employer trends
During 2009 employers took longer to screen candidates and make an offer of employment. This trend may remain while the market warms up.
Candidate trends
HR professionals were very cautions in 2009, but with the arrival of 2010 and a recovering market we expect candidates to consider their career advancement once more. Market movements are thus expected as people leave an organisation and a new candidate is needed to fill the vacancy. This activity should increase overall recruiting momentum.
