Can anyone point me to a discussion forum that discusses this? I've found one that is good in Beta concept and is growing, but does not yet have enough posts to answer my questions... http://www.9spaces.com/en/public/China-Jobs-Forum/index.jsp I’m involved in Legal consulting and am trying to do some basic research for a client on wage inflation trends in China.

The talent is getting tighter and tighter not only in economic powerhouses like China and India. Business hubs like Singapore and Hong Kong are scrambling for every last expertise they can find, using a mixture of agencies, job boards, print ads etc. However, few managed to devise a strategy that is forward thinking and pre-emptive. Many are reactive towards the current 'problem' at hand and opting for instant painkillers. For companies outside Asia who need to build recruitment competencies in this part of the world, your best bet is to join hands with local experts whom have 'been there, done that'. While the recruitment industry here is much diversified and it's hard to qualify the right partner to work with, a number of industry players stand out from the rest. Ask around and you will get a few consistent answers. I am glad to be working for one of them. As for the conference, I am rather perplexed. The speaker line up seems to be very Australia- and New Zealand-focused. Save for one speaker from Singapore, what happened to the experts from India and China? How about industry leaders whom encompasses the entire Asia Pacific region? Personally I think this is a great article and you have pointed out many of the truth on the state of recruitment in Asia.
