01. Challenge

A Dutch garment retailer sought to capitalize on the growing Greater Chinese market. With a legal entity only in Hong Kong and none in mainland China, they required rapid recruitment for a sales team to support new store openings in Hong Kong. Additionally, they needed residential permit support for expat hires, along with payroll and social benefit management as requested by candidates.
  • Lack of a local presence in mainland China made it challenging to establish operations and recruit the required workforce swiftly.
  • Traditional service providers could not deliver the necessary speed and expertise in expat recruitment, onboarding, and compliance management.

02. Solution

We executed the recruitment process swiftly, planning simultaneously for Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Beijing locations. Leveraging our expansive local network and expertise, we provided solutions for expat residential permits within just one week, enabling seamless workforce deployment.
