Five talent pools in China

On ChinaForum - an online community for financial professionals - Martin Tang, Spencer Stewart’s chairman for Asia, described five talent pools from which executives are chosen.

  1. Western expatriates;
  2. Asian expatriates;
  3. Chinese natives who return after earning graduate degrees abroad;
  4. Chinese locals who have remained in China.

Of these, the most valuable are the Chinese who return from abroad, according to Tang. That’s because they have education, knowledge of both cultures and the advantage of being Chinese themselves.
