15 April 2013:Global recruitment firm Michael Page is celebrating ten years of operation in Mainland China, reflecting both the strength of the business and the developing and evolving recruitment industry within Mainland China.

The company opened its first Mainland China office in Shanghai (Puxi) in 2003 and in that time has achieved remarkable business success and established the Michael Page brand as a clear market leader across multiple cities in the world’s largest country.

Since setting up in Puxi ten years ago, Michael Page has demonstrated its commitment to providing a premium recruitment offering across Asian markets, particularly in China. The Michael Page Beijing and Shenzhen offices opened in 2008, subsequently followed by Guangzhou in 2010, Pudong in 2011 and most recently Suzhou in 2012.

Across the Greater China region, Michael Page has experienced tremendous growth. Taiwan, the most recent office opened, has been operating very positively and going from strength to strength. The first Greater China office in Hong Kong will celebrate its 20th anniversary next year and despite the relative maturity in this market, the Hong Kong business continues to experience strong growth.

With around 400 Michael Page employees across China, the business remains focused on its strategy of organic growth and reinforcing its position as the leading recruitment firm in Greater China. Its progressive and market-leading management team comprised of native Chinese Directors, Regional Directors and Managing Directors, all with outstanding local industry knowledge, ensures the business is best placed to understand the recruitment needs of local organisations as well as the local jobseeker perspective.
