CHINA

One of the biggest challenges for most foreign companies in China lies in dealing with and understanding the cultural differences, especially regarding communication and personnel management.

In recruitment, apart from assessing a candidate’s professional qualifications, the accurate evaluation of the candidate’s so-called ‘cultural fit’ presents a significant challenge for foreign companies due to a lack of understanding of cultural differences.

With many years of experience and our extensive network in China, we assist you in bridging the cultural gap and developing the recruitment solution that best aligns with your business strategy.

VIETNAM

Vietnam is one of the rapidly growing countries in Southeast Asia. An increasing number of Vietnamese individuals value higher education and have the means to seize the opportunity to benefit from the new and diverse trainings offerings.

Despite the relatively low average age of the Vietnamese population and the high availability of affordable labour, recruiting skilled professionals and managers remains a major challenge for foreign companies. With the burgeoning economy and the shortage of qualified personnel, companies need to anticipate that the competition for the best employees will remain highly intense, and salaries will continue to rise.

JP contagi has extensive experience in recruitment of senior personnel in the so-called ’emerging markets.’ We would be delighted to leverage our expertise and insights for your benefit, enabling your company to thrive successfully in this extremely competitive job market.

SINGAPORE

In the competition for the ‘best talents’ in the global talent pool, progressive Singapore aims to build a sustainable economy. The high cost of living has surged even more post-pandemic, ultimately impacting salaries and thus personnel costs.

The (bureaucratic) barriers to bring in non-local professionals, especially non-local skilled professionals, have recently been increased, adding to the complexity of this matter. Hence, designing a meaningful and intriguing job profile followed by a precise candidate- search and -approach and finally making the right selection are of utmost importance.

JP contagi supports you in creating a suitable job profile and effectively identify and win the right candidate for you.

THAILAND

Despite relatively low labour costs, Thailand still faces a shortage of qualified workers, posing a challenge for foreign companies in regard to communication and collaboration with the local entities. High demand for qualified employees results in high employee turnover which in turn can have a negative impact on the quality and efficiency of the company’s business operations. Employee retentions starts with the right selection of employees. JP contagi assists you in finding the right personnel and in developing recruitment solutions that align with your business strategy in Thailand.

MALAYSIA

In Malaysia, companies can count on a highly developed infrastructure and at the same time benefit from comparatively low business costs. Malaysia is thus positioning itself as a first-class choice for entering the market in (Southeast) Asia.

Local university graduates have a solid academic education and good English skills. However, there is a shortage of skilled workers in Malaysia and well-educated people often emigrate abroad. Recruiting qualified specialists and managers is therefore a major challenge for national and international companies in Malaysia – similar to other Southeast Asian countries.

Thanks to our experience in executive search in Asia, JP contagi has a network and the necessary expertise to find the right candidates for your company in Malaysia in a timely and targeted manner.
