Hi, I'm Jared from PeopleSearch Hong Kong. I'm the business leader from Hong Kong and also a specialist recruiter focusing in private banking searches covering Greater China region and Singapore. I started my career in recruitment with PeopleSearch 23 years ago. In fact, I was part of the pioneer team that was tasked to launch the company from scratch in Taiwan. Started off as a consultant covering information technology. I subsequently helped to launch new businesses in areas such as financial services, retail, FMCG, and pharmaceutical. I was eventually offered the opportunity to start People Search Hong Kong in 2006. Recruitment in the financial services sector has been our bread and butter in Hong Kong since our inception. We are focused in mid to senior level searches, partnering many leading financial institutions in helping them attract talent in a highly competitive market. Most of the roles that come to us are usually quite challenging. This is This is especially so in the financial services sector whereby our clients would have their own talent acquisition team. As such, we will need to be very highly specialized and very proactive in reaching out to candidates who are not readily available through the usual channels. What differentiates People Search from our competitors is not the process or the methodology, but our commitment to deliver quality results and the strong passion that we bring to our work. Our goal goes beyond making a quick sale. We believe that satisfied clients and candidates will serve us better over the longer term. More than 80% of our current clients have been with us for more than 10 years. Our average conversion rate is more than 70%, and more than 90% of our placed candidates will stay with our clients for over a year. We are able to achieve such good results as we make it a point to meet all our candidates and clients to really understand their needs. And we only put forward qualified candidates with genuine motivation to move to clients whom we know well. In one of my recent cases, I met a candidate whose experience I know would be a great asset to my client. There was no actual role there, but I got my client to meet the candidate anyway, and they ended up hiring this person, and both parties are very happy. We like to think that we are the extended arm of a client's organization, keeping their needs close to our hearts at all times, and this is what makes us different. We hope that with our commitment and passion, we will be able to make positive differences to clients and candidates who cross our path. As such, please feel free to reach out for confidential discussion on any hiring needs or career consultations.
