A leading regional company continues to grow in Hong Kong's business-friendly, vibrant recruitment market.
Recruit Express (Hong Kong) Ltd. today (November 16) announced the opening of its third office in Kowloon. The company provides recruitment services in Hong Kong and the Mainland through its three services: Recruit Express, Search Asia Hong Kong & China, and Recruit Legal.
Headquartered in Singapore, the company launched its operations in Hong Kong in October 2005 with initial staff strength of three, housed in a serviced office.
"The last two years have seen us expand our operations significantly in order to broaden our client service ability in Hong Kong's very vibrant employment market. Where initially we worked solely for the legal community, we now offer three brands and services – Recruit Express for temporary and contract work across all industries, SearchAsia in executive search and Recruit Legal for the legal industry," said Mr Cheng Shing Chow, General Manager for Recruit Express (Hong Kong) Ltd.
"Hong Kong is a great market for us to be in – regional headquarters to many international businesses of multifarious industries, strong local businesses, a key gateway into China, Asia's financial capital and a deep pool of local and international talent for us to draw on,"
Mr Cheng added.
Mr Charles Ng, Associate Director-General at Invest Hong Kong, welcomed the company's faith in Hong Kong and wished their continued expansion well. "We welcome the addition of the company's third office in the city. It is testament not only to their faith in Hong Kong, but also to the strength of demand the city has for a talented, well educated and ambitious workforce."
"Hong Kong boasts highly skilled individuals, whose drive and enthusiasm is equally matched by their skills and thorough understanding of the complexities of both the local and Mainland markets," Mr Ng added.
Since the start of operations, the company has grown to a multi-site operation employing over 50 people. The company intends to continue growing and has plans to open more offices in Shanghai, Shenzhen and Seoul by 2010, while at the same time targeting a headcount of over 200 in Hong Kong over the next three years.
