Hong Kong
Our executive recruitment in Hong Kong was launched to take advantage of the city's strong business environment, which is home to a large number of multinational companies and provides a gateway to the rest of Asia.

Additionally, Hong Kong is renowned for its diverse workforce, which makes it easier to find the right people with the right skills and expertise for the job.
Hiring effective leadership in this complex region is the biggest challenge facing VC backed start ups and multinational companies. Our Space Executive team, based in Hong Kong, are regional experts, supporting companies to build teams that will drive forward their Greater China growth and change strategies.
Commuting and Culture:
Commuting in Hong Kong can be a challenge due to its dense population and limited public transportation options. The public transportation network is extensive, but can be crowded and slow during peak hours. For those who drive, traffic can be notoriously congested, especially during rush hour. The MTR (Mass Transit Railway) is the most popular form of public transport and is relatively reliable, however, its stations can become extremely crowded during peak times.
The work culture in Hong Kong is fast-paced and highly competitive. People here are highly motivated and ambitious, and often work long hours to achieve their goals. Respect for hierarchy is important, and there is a focus on efficiency and productivity. There is also a strong emphasis on teamwork and collaboration, as well as a commitment to quality.
