Well, i've been looking so much treads here all about the experiences of job hunting in hk, where people from different backgroud and cultures, and nations. glad to know that some are successful. and i'm now looking forwards into it.

I'm graduated in IT fields from UK. Having 3 years working experiences in IT (programmer). i realized it's too dull and bored for me and recently i'm looking for a change in career, i would like to try something like recruitment firm and i think this will be a quite interesting job? i can help ppl to get good job with good pay, and i myself can gain the commissions... why not of trying? i can speak english, cantonese, mandarin, hakka fluently. i can read/ write both simplified/ traditional chinese.

i'm a Singapore PR and currently working in Singapore. Any chances for me in HK? greatly appreciate for your helps.

there are tonnes of recruitment/HH jobs around. there are just not that many jobs to be filled now that the market is tanking.

Seriously .. I think Shanghai might be a better place. Things are going to start heating up there pretty soon, in expectation of 2010.

obviously you are right. but i'm looking for some chances in HK, anyone have any idea? especially if i've the alternatives joining in IT team recruiment as i'm having IT background and i think this will be one of the advantages.

Hi anyone? anyone has any ideas for any recruitment firms looking for people who have IT background in joing their team?

Thanks.

just try any of the big multinational agents as you're in I.T you should know who they are.

But just because you have I.T experience it doesn't necessarily mean you are a great fit to work as an I.T recruiter.

You need to also be very resilient and have very strong sales skills and especially in cold calling etc as you will have to generate your own business and create leads, Leads are not always handed to you.

As per freeiers comments, The market has indeed gone quiet and having spoken to a few HH firms they have told me that hiring is currently on hold.

hi jimbo0, greatly appreciate for your advise.

do you have any ideas of what are the companies that actively looking for people like my case? or any company that have branches over here in Singapore and hk?

thank you so much !

[jimbo]

I don't know of any that are actively looking to be honest as I haven't asked them and not interested in working in recruitment at this present time.

But try, Hudson, Robert Walters, Robert Half as a starting point.

If you have specialist software skills then you could try the relevant software cos which may be aware of clients who are possibly short of staff using their software products eg Oracle, IBM etc
