Can anyone recommend front-office and quant recruiters in Hong Kong?

I'm looking to expand our operation to Asia. Anyone have ideas as to whom I should contact? Thanks.

sorry no, but finding people in HK is a bitch right now so your timing should be great.

Not Singapore?

Singapore will be in our target area, but HK is going to be out primary location.

i spoke to a couple of these people last year, if you want, maybe I can dig the names out.

Martingale - I would also be interested in knowing of any Asia Pac headhunters that you thought were decent & knowledgeable, if you don't mind sending them to me as well.

While we are not opening an office in HK or Sg right at this minute, I only focus on this region so I would like to be aware of and track good recruiters.

just spent the last 3 days out there interviewing people - our interests are obviously a little conflicting but I might be able to suggest a couple of ideas depending on what exactly you want out there.

I appreciate. Give me a call when you get a chance. Thanks.

Give me a buzz. Nothing like being predictable but we too have just set up an office there.

My advice would be to export a US head with a 'cultural sensitivity' hat on, hire local consultants and espc local language skilled research.
