Leading HR company to expand operations in Pudong

Career International, the first human resource service company to be listed in China's A-shares market, is planning to expand its operations in Pudong New District, Shanghai, local media reported.

The Beijing-based company established its East China headquarters in Pudong, which has helped the company's development, as the district is home to a number of comprehensive industrial chains and serves as an international financial hub, according to Duan Lixin, vice-president of the company.

"We are considering setting up new offices at the Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park and expanding into advanced industries in Pudong, such as biomedicine, artificial intelligence, and integrated circuits," said Duan.

Career International is one of the most comprehensive HR companies in China and currently has more than 2,200 professional headhunters providing a wide array of services such as including executive search, recruitment process outsourcing (RPO), flexible staffing, HR consulting, talent assessment, as well as talent training and development services to clients in 18 fields and industries.

It has maintained a long-term partnership with more than 3,400 transnational corporations, domestically-listed companies, State-owned enterprises, governments, and non-profit organizations, and has the largest share in the RPO market in China.

In response to the central government's call for Chinese companies to go international, Career International started entering overseas markets in 2004 by setting up branches and joint ventures and acquiring foreign companies. It currently has operations in Asia, North America, Europe, and Australia.
