Specialist recruiter Hays has today opened an office in Hong Kong as part of their continued expansion and growth.
“Hays is an international group of specialist businesses and the opening of our Hong Kong office is our first step into Asia, clearly a significant recruitment market on the world stage, and the next target of growth and expansion for us,” said Matthew Underhill, Director of Hays overseeing the new venture.
“Business confidence is now strong in Hong Kong. As a result, an impressive number of job vacancies were advertised during 2005, signalling the strength of the local economy. We are excited with the timing of our entry into the market and believe we can have a positive impact in the region,” said Matthew.
“The world is now a much smaller place with migration of skills and knowledge an everyday part of modern business. The ability to leverage off our market leading positions in Australasia, the UK and mainland Europe for both candidates and clients is very much in our thinking.“
With teams in Accountancy & Finance, Construction & Property, Engineering, Legal and Information Technology, the business will mirror the specialist focus that has proven to be so successful for the group in other regions around the world.
With the opening of the Hong Kong office, Hays now has a presence in 18 countries. Hays’ network of over 3,600 specialist consultants will complement the Hong Kong team and ensure Hays continually source candidates using a combination of local and international strategies.
Hays was formed in the UK in 1969 and dates back to 1976 in Australia and 1990 in New Zealand.
Hays Hong Kong is located at Level 31, 30 Queen’s Road, Central, Hong Kong. The office can be reached on +852 2168 0862 or email hongkong@hays.com.hk
