When I find a company with a professional, proactive, and effective staffing strategy I am always impressed.  I believe that the internal staffing functions of most large firms I have worked with are not evolving as quickly as the talent markets in which they work.

I found the following article incredibly insightful and wanted to share it here: How a Former CEO Built A World-Class Recruiting Department

I recommend any business that is operating in China take a look at the article and begin re-purposing their practices immediately.  There are so many good ideas contained in the case-study I wouldn't know where to begin but here are a few of the best and most-necessary in our China market if you want to move ahead of your competition and recruit the best available talent:

- Use recruiting-specific metrics to measure performance

- Get senior management's attention by producing results

- Create a sourcing channel report

- Use a simple SLA to quantify recruiting efforts of all involved

These are only a few ideas that will have a huge impact on the recruiting efforts of your organization in China.
