The Zhongguancun International Human Resources Service Alliance held a forum on talent internationalization on Nov 28.

Leaders of the Zhongguancun Administrative Committee attended the forum and delivered speeches. Members of the Beijing Talent Work Bureau, the Beijing Human Resources and Social Security Bureau and the Beijing Overseas Scholars Center, as well as leaders of well-known human resources service agencies, participated in the forum.

The Zhongguancun International Human Resources Service Alliance was established in Jan 2019 In order to implement the talent policies of the Party and the State and to better serve the growing demands of Zhongguancun enterprises for international talents.

Since the establishment of the alliance, a series of special recruitment activities, information interactions between enterprises and headhunters, and high-end forums have been held.

Deputy Inspector Zhao Qing believes that the alliance should help enterprises and headhunters in the demonstration zone introduce talents with the help of policy dividends. At the same time, it is necessary to focus on the characteristic industries of Zhongguancun, especially the important and key ones, to attract more strategic scientific and technological talents.

Liu Minhua, deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Talent Work, pointed out that Beijing is actively building a world-class development environment for talents to promote the construction of the national science and technology innovation center.

Wang Jun, executive vice chairman and Secretary-General of the Zhongguancun Human Resources Service Alliance, said that since its establishment, the alliance has compiled high-end job demand lists, held supply and demand docking events, carried out exchanges and training for high-end talents, and conducted exchanges and cooperation with UK agencies. In 2020, the alliance will regularly hold headhunting roadshow activities, conduct seminars on how to introduce more international talents, and promote external interactive events.

Qi Yan, senior vice president of Xiaomi Group, said the success of Xiaomi is attributed to the following elements: first, It has well-educated, young and international talents; second, it focuses on culture and values; and third, it has a complete talent cultivation mechanism.

Song Xin, global senior partner of Korn Ferry, said traditional leadership is unable to cope with the challenges of the new era, so headhunting agencies should help companies to recruit international talents with key experience and international leadership competency.

Qiu Xiaoyun, director of Russell Reynolds Leadership & Successor Consulting in China, said that Chinese companies have growing demand for international leaders who not only have basic characters such as learning ability, adventurous spirit, and entrepreneurial spirit, but also have the ability to adapt and lead complex multicultural teams, and possess systematic thinking and long-term vision in a global context.

Headhunting agencies will help companies find international leaders with cross-cultural awareness, cross-cultural management capabilities, and global leadership experience through data-driven, systematic assessment and training programs.

Liu Qian, senior vice president of Glodon, said that a global technology, product, and talent exchange network based on a unified vision, culture, technology platform, and business strategy must be constructed, and pluralism, exchanges and incentives must be a focus of international talent management.

Guests from government agencies, industry associations, investment agencies, representative companies, headhunters, and research institutions expressed their opinions on topics such as how high-end human resources service agencies help internationalization of talents and proposed opinions on how to strengthen the introduction of international talents and achieve sustainable development of the Zhongguancun International Human Resources Service Alliance.
