The China HR market continues to attract talented Mandarin-speaking HR leaders.

Posted: 04.06.08

Interest remains strong among Singaporeans and other Mandarin-speakers for HR assignments in China. The Chapman Consulting Group is continuing to see a steady number of HR leadership figures from Singapore and Hong Kong move to China to take up both Regional and Country HR roles.

Beijing and Shanghai are obviously still the two key main locations for HR expatriates, but secondary cities like Guangzhou and Dalian are beginning to feature too, according to Oscar Fuchs, Associate Director with The Chapman Consulting Group. "China is increasingly being seen as a valuable market to gain HR experience - especially if you have the language skills.' says Fuchs. "Managing such high rates of organic growth while leading large teams of junior HR practitioners is challenging at the best of times. Add to that the prevalence of M&A activity in the region and you have an increasingly complicated set of expectations to manage, both domestically and internationally".
