MULTINATIONAL corporations in China are increasingly looking to hire local talents with fluency in English as they are seeking to close the culture gap with local customers, according to human resource agency ZW HR Consulting.

Concern about culture gap with local Chinese population has urged many MNCs to attract, develop and retain local Chinese talent who fit in key functions such as sales and marketing, customer service and regional roles, which all require proficiency in the English language, the Asia-based headhunting company said.

“We have recently noted that more MNCs based in China have begun to reduce the number of foreign staff, especially in management-type positions, shifting focus to the local market,” said Joyce Jing, general manager of ZW HR Consulting.

Among the most sought-after professionals by MNCs are Chinese candidates who can understand local needs, manage large teams and work with staff based in global headquarters while are fluent in all aspects of English including reading, writing and speaking, according to the consulting firm.

Citing ZW China Salary Guide for 2015, Jing said right candidates who are looking to change jobs are able to command salary increases of approximately 20 percent to 30 percent due to the limited talent pool.
