>>Recruitment of Overseas Experts in China

The rapid development in China has been accelerating its internationalization and globalization and narrowing the gap between it and the world. The huge domestic demands of China provide broader and more extensive markets, which means greater room of imagination for talented personnel. 

If the China of ten years ago, in comparison with foreign countries, impressed you with its job employment status featured by lower salary, inaccessibility to outside world and lower standard of management, today’s Chinese enterprises have already taken up a completely new look. More and more enterprises have followed internationalized way of thinking, international outstanding way of management and global demands on talented personnel. In the meantime, they have also accepted the salary system commonly adopted by international enterprises, which promises to satisfy the materialistic and spiritual demands of overseas experts.

 

Advantages of Overseas Experts:

International technical experience: Overseas experts usually have a dozen, or even dozens, of years of experience working in international advanced enterprises. Lack of such experience is the greatest weakness in the development of domestic enterprises. To a certain extent, making good use of the technical experience unique to overseas experts can rapidly make up for our own technical weaknesses. 

 

International vision and industrial insight: Overseas experts have long been working in international leading enterprises and therefore have correct understanding of both the present status and future prospects of relevant industries. What is more, they are especially endowed with irreplaceable industrial insights into the industrial trends in the future. It is for these reasons that overseas experts are in an advantageous position in cultivating the international entrepreneurial vision and determining the orientation of industrial development of enterprises.

 

Team training: Through their long-term working experience, overseas experts usually have worked out their own effective patterns for team training, including the new recruits training, team composition, allocation of responsibilities, team development planning, etc. Experience in these areas happens to be the key problems baffling many Chinese enterprises in the process of rapid development. These capabilities can be improved by introducing overseas experts into China.

 

Technical grafting: Having worked for decades in overseas enterprises, overseas experts usually have thoroughly and systematically mastered the core technology of these enterprises. Such experience is not easily obtainable from cooperation with or from analysis on rival enterprises. However, by introducing some high-end technical experts, enterprises can better understand the technical advantages and core technological competitiveness of relevant foreign enterprises and can make better technical grafting with their existing technology, thereby enhancing capabilities in this respect. 

 

Advantages of overseas Chinese technical personnel returned to their homeland:

Compatibility: Overseas Chinese technical personnel have advantages in the R&D, design, production and quality control of high-end manufacture industries, which happens to be the weak point of domestic enterprises. Therefore, compatibility and development space are the greatest attraction for overseas Chinese technical personnel returned to their homeland.

 

Development space: The requirements of domestic enterprises on overseas technical personnel do not only lie on the level of technical requirements alone, but to a greater extent on the internationalized R&D concepts and the establishment of manufacturing, production and quality control system. Therefore, returned overseas Chinese experts can give full play to their potential technical capabilities. In comparison with the relatively simplistic responsibility they used to assume in overseas enterprises, they can now inject their full energy into opportunities offered by domestic enterprises. 

 

Salary and welfare treatment: Due to much misleading information and misinterpretation, many overseas experts believe that low salary is a restriction that holds them back from returning to work in the homeland. However, this is not the truth. The fact is that the gap between the salary received on domestic technical positions and that earned on overseas technical positions is getting narrower and narrower. Some experienced domestic technical experts even receive higher salary than those in developed countries. Therefore, worrying about salary and welfare treatment is no longer a key factor holding overseas experts back from returning to China.
