Permanent Hiring Built to Last

Competition for the right long-term hire is fierce across Hong Kong and Mainland China’s technology, insurance, and banking sectors, especially in the defining institutions: banks and insurers. Our permanent hiring teams place technology, insurance, and banking & investments professionals across Hong Kong and Mainland China, from technology specialists within banks and insurers to actuarial, underwriting, risk and quantitative talent. These are the long-term hires who help financial institutions grow and adapt with confidence.

When a hire is meant to stay, fit matters as much as skill. Before we put a candidate forward, our consultants get to know your team, how it works and where the role is heading over the next few years. For candidates, that means being introduced to opportunities that genuinely match their career ambitions.

Open, honest communication for your permanent hiring.
Long-term hires deserve a process that isn't rushed. Taking time to understand your culture, career progression paths and team dynamics before sourcing begins is what makes the difference between a hire who settles in and stays, and one who moves on within a year.

Candidates hear from us at every stage, with clear feedback along the way, so your employer brand comes through from the very first conversation. Communication flows both ways. You gain a clear view of each candidate’s motivations and expectations, and they gain a full picture of the role, the team and the package.

Local compliance expertise, built for permanent employment.
Permanent hiring carries its own compliance considerations, distinct from contract engagements. Statutory entitlements under Hong Kong's Employment Ordinance, Mandatory Provident Fund (MPF) contributions, and probation period requirements all need managing correctly from day one, and cross-border hiring between Hong Kong and Mainland China adds its own layer of complexity when a role spans both.

Our recruitment and compliance teams work together on contracts, statutory entitlements and onboarding documentation, making the move from offer to start date a smooth one for you and your new hire.

Our Permanent Hiring Process

From Scoping to Offer

Permanent hires shape a business for years, not months, so the process is built for accuracy over speed alone.

Role and culture discovery

Requirements, career progression expectations, and company culture are explored in depth, so the brief reflects the real role, not just the job title.

Tailored sourcing strategy

A sourcing plan specific to your role draws on our active and passive networks, whether that's a technology, insurance, or banking specialist through our Hong Kong team, working inside a bank or insurer, or an insurance and banking specialist across both Hong Kong and Mainland China.

Interview management

Scheduling, briefing, and candidate preparation are managed end-to-end, keeping the process professional and consistent throughout.

Onboarding and probation support

Check-ins through the probation period catch issues early, on both sides, well before they become a retention problem.

Market insight and salary benchmarking

Competitor activity, candidate availability, and salary and benefits benchmarking inform a realistic, competitive offer before the search even begins.

Technical and cultural assessment

Every candidate is assessed against both the technical requirements and the team fit, before reaching your shortlist.

Salary and offer negotiation

Expectations on salary, benefits, and MPF contributions are aligned early, so the eventual offer is one your candidate is ready to accept.

Adding value to your business

Whether you need one specialist or an entire team, a well-planned permanent hiring strategy builds value that lasts, in different ways for each.
