Active Emerging Business Cities Fortune China recently conducted its fifth annual Emerging Business Cities survey, hearing from 1,278 Chinese senior managers who ranked 50 selected cities based on the overall business environment, the cost of doing business, the local talent pool, and the quality of life.

  14. Part 2: General Employment Market

  15. Key Grow Areas • Development of China’s western regions to narrow the country’s development gap, as part of the 12th Five-Year Plan is expected to bring more jobs across China. • Healthcare, energy and technology will receive a major boost from the 12th Five-Year Plan since they are identified as China’s new Strategic Emerging Industries. • The country is shifting from labor-intensive manufacturing to high end technology resulting in higher demand for skilled workers and technicians, and increasing wages.

  16. Chinese Key Business Cities

  17. Largest Employer and Regional Workforce • LARGEST EMPLOYERS – mostly state-owned companies • According to CNN Money’s “Top companies: Biggest employers for 2011”, companies in the petroleum and electric utilities industry have the highest number of employees in China. China National Petroleum, State Grid, and Sinopec Group are considered three of the biggest employers in the world. • Second largest: services sector – postal service, aviation, telecommunications, banks – which are also on CNN Money’s top 20 biggest employers lists. • REGIONAL WORKFORCE • Central and Western China are seeing higher job growth since employers are now looking for cheaper labor. Some technical companies like Foxconn have set up their business in these areas, prompting other companies to follow suit. • Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, on the other hand, have been expected to increase the need for financial talent. Foreign and domestic banks are even offering higher pay to get the needed candidates.

  22. Market Observation 1 • The service-oriented sector has overtaken agriculture as the leading employer in the country, driving stronger demand for staffing as service-oriented firms have continual staffing needs (vs. agriculture jobs where workforce mobility is limited). • Talent shortages continue to be a problem for almost 50% of the employers in the Asia Pacific region. 23% of Chinese firms surveyed mentioned that they are experiencing difficulty in employing talent - a slight improvement over 24% in 2011. • About one fifth of China’s 300 million urban employees are labor dispatch workers. The number of temporary workers is likely to grow another 30% to 50% in 2012 as companies scramble to cut costs in the face of rising minimum wages.

  23. Market Observation 2 • Recruitment market appears due to the change from planned economy (before economic reform) to market economy; • More university graduates competing for limited jobs; starting salary rises; • Senior level executive and management positions’ salary surpass its equivalents in the mature market like US or Singapore; • Contracting (staff dispatching), RPO, Perm Recruitment, Executive Search are gradually evoluting into its own pace and shape, towards to international standard;

  24. Workforce to shrink in 5 years China has capitalized on its large, young labor force to rise as an economic powerhouse by opening opportunities for various companies to tap its seemingly endless pool of workers at lower costs. It has been resilient during the economic slowdown, although expanding at a less buoyant pace.

  25. Workforce to shrink in 5 years (cont.) • It is expected that in the next five years, the working-age population will be smaller. • This was partly attributed to the one-child policy established in 1979 – producing a declining young talent pool and a booming number of seniors in the market. • It is expected that by 2030, there will be 240 million Chinese aged 65 or older, accounting for approximately 17% of its population.

  26. Wage Growth in China 1 • According to a 2011 Hays Salary Guide, 68% of Chinese employers raised salaries between 3-10%, and 22% by more than 10%. Increases are expected to be higher still in 2012, with 51% intending to increase salaries between 6-10% and 33% by more than 10%. Raises of 10% to 20% are common in China, as talent shortages make retention vital. • In Aon Hewitt’s 16th Annual India Salary Increase Survey, Chinese wages were projected to increase by 9.5%. Aon Hewitt reported in January 2013 that the 2012 national average salary increase in China was 9.1%. SOURCE: 2012 Culpepper Salary Budget Update Survey SOURCE: BusinessWeek

  27. Wage Growth in China 2 Most companies are willing to pay substantial salary increases when recruiting new managers. More than one-third (36%) of respondents to The Hudson Report (Q1 2012) say they expect to pay raises of more than 20%, while a similar proportion (34%) expect to pay 11-20%. More than four times as many respondents are prepared to offer increases of more than 20% compared to either Hong Kong or Singapore. These figures suggest that employers in China are taking a realistic approach to recruitment. They are aware that many candidates are reluctant to risk changing jobs during a time of economic uncertainty and are therefore prepared to pay generous rises to offset this risk.

  33. Part 3: Set Up Recruitment Business in China - Key considerations • Positioning – which market and level • WOFE / JV (relations with local partners) • Culture – awareness and “culture fusion” • Financials – expectations and timing of ROI • Growth - conservative or aggressive

  34. Part 3: Set Up Recruitment Business in China - Scenario 1 • WOFE • Silent local partner • Migrate Management (DNA) & System • Core team – how many, service length from headquarter • Connection with local team – attitude and daily operation • Culture – awareness, respect, fusion

  35. Part 3: Set Up Recruitment Business in China - Scenario 2 • JV / clear leadership by local partners • Core team – set up, responsibility share, trust, mutual agreement • Localization – value, management system, know-how transfer • Culture – awareness, respect, fusion

  36. Part 3: Set Up Recruitment Business in China - Scenario 3 • 50 / 50 equal partners (challenging) • Core team – how many, service length • Connection with local team – attitude and daily operation • Culture – awareness, respect, fusion

  37. Challenges in managing recruitment business • Staff turnover • 10% to 30% are regarded as very normal range, some up to 50%! • Talent acquisition • Hire no business background or non-sales attribute quality lead to failure • Challenging to hire good people due to the industry reputation • Training • Systematic training not yet available for most of the firms; • General mentality – long-term vision, quality expectation • Frequent job hopping for short-term benefit rather than long-term and quality

  38. Opportunities for Recruitment Business • Clients and candidates are getting used to the service and expecting more and higher level of services; • Market is fragmented – no “superpower” yet appears in the perm market having over 2% of the market share; (no firm is having over 20Mio UK Pounds per year); • International firms not localized, large enough, and they are slow! While local firms are not up to the scales and international standard; (eg. Productivity level);

  39. To re-cap for China market: • Exciting, young, dynamic market, full of opportunities yet challenges; the market is more open; • No clear No. 1 player in each level, category of recruitment market; • Very different market from political and culture perspective, so be fully prepared; • International experience and network are effective resources for the market; • Having right local partner, developing local leadership is the key for long-term success;
