The ongoing remote working revolution is not only changing the way organisations function, but also the way they hire. Many organisations in Hong Kong are now interviewing remotely, which has led to faster and more efficient hiring processes.

The COVID-19 crisis has ushered in a new era in the world of work that is impacting both jobseekers and hiring organisations.

The events of 2020 have directly impacted the permanent hiring market in Hong Kong as businesses revaluate their financial resources and focus on curbing their spend.

While most organisations in Hong Kong have returned to work, continued disruptions and the ongoing pandemic has led to a sustained need and demand for remote working options amongst staff. To effectively manage this while maintaining productivity, many organisations are now adopting hybrid working models – where the workforce is split between those in the office and those working remotely.

Strategy and management are essential to leading a company through crisis; but at the heart of any organisation is its people, and organisations around the world have been celebrating the pivotal role that employees have played in tiding their company through unprecedented challenges.
