HKTE brings together nearly 50 enterprises at Global Online Career Fair to attract global talent
******************************************************************************************
The online career fair recorded over 26 000 visits in two days, with about 3 000 curricula vitae received. To facilitate connection between talent and enterprises, a one-to-one online meeting session was set up specifically at the career fair, resulting in about 4 800 direct dialogues between talent and enterprises. Participating enterprises expressed that about half of these dialogues would be taken forward.
According to participating accounting firms, they learned through the online career fair that many international professionals were interested in coming to Hong Kong. The event effectively linked global talent with enterprises in Hong Kong, thereby enabling direct engagement, enhancing talent's understanding of the structure and recruitment process of Hong Kong enterprises, and enhancing participating talent's experience.
Participating talent came from over 12 countries or regions, such as the Mainland, Singapore, India, the United Kingdom, Australia, the United States, Malaysia, France and Canada, with 62 per cent of them holding master's degrees.
The HKTE spokesman said that following the career fair held in Malaysia in April in collaboration with renowned enterprises in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, HKTE organised the online career fair to enable talent on the Mainland and overseas to exchange views directly with enterprises prior to relocation to Hong Kong, gain insights into Hong Kong's job market, and reinforce their confidence in pursuing development in Hong Kong. HKTE will continue organising online career fairs tailored to different regions worldwide and professions, as well as local career programmes, to help talent secure employment in Hong Kong and create impetus for the long-term development of the city.
