Head-hunters marching into state-owned enterprises?

According to the China Talents-Flow Survey by RMG Selection, nearly a third(32%) of employees in state-owned enterprises(SOEs) had changed their jobs last year. Of those, half found their jobs through headhunting.

The survey found that 60% employees willing to change jobs through job head-hunters. Online recruitment and friends’ recommendation accounted for 24% and 13%. As seen in the flow of tanlens, the corperate head-hunter is playing a increasely important role.

Where preciously SOEs easily acquired their own staff, they now face tougher competition from the private sector. The survey found that 35% employees of SOEs choose to accept their roles via a heathunting connection. For employees in US and European firms in China, head-hunters and recruitment agencies are undoubtedly the preferred choice, accounting for 72% of the total jobs changes.

More than half of employees think that calls from head-hunters are professional oppotunities, and trust is extended even further for employees at larger firms.

Over 40% of employees in companies of less than 1000 staffs think that headhunters are credible job sources; while over 55% employees in companies of over 1000 staffs think the same.

Robert Parkinson, the CEO of RMG Selection thinks that the headhunting companies in China vary in quality, with only a small number of them having professional work  procedures and genuine guidance and training toward candidates.

“Although the business is becoming more and more mature, how to select professional partners will be a big challenge for most employers and job seekers in the future.” says Parkinson.
