1. 4 Quick Tips for
Growing a Recruiting
Firm in Asia
By Bernie Schiemer
(CEO & Founder, HRBoss)

2. 1. No universal panacea in Asia
Asia is the world’s largest and most populous
continent
There are five major ‘Business Systems’ clusters
in Asia, each with its own economy and rules of
the game
There is no one size fit all plan
You need a tailored, segmented approach for
Asia- have you got one?

3. 2. A whole new ball game
What works at home might
not work in Asia
Many successful companies
from the West, across all
types of industries, fail
Why do they fail?
What they lacked was
localisation
They applied whatever
strategy they had used with
success at home and simply
replicated it for Asia
You need to welcome
change

4. 3. There’s no ‘wing it’ in Asia
“If you fail to plan,
you plan to fail”
Learn about the
customs and
etiquettes for the
countries you will
be doing business
Build connections,
not contracts
‘Guanxi’ makes a
deal less challenging

5. 4. Perseverance, perseverance, perseverance
Asia will remain the world’s
economic growth leader
The prospect of growing a recruiting
business in Asia seems very promising
There are no quick fixes for the
challenges faced
The most valuable quality you need
is perseverance
