Head Start Asia

Head Start Asia An end to end Hong Kong based recruitment business covering Property & Real Estate, Sales & marketing, IT, Procurement & Supply Chain and Aviation roles.

All our consultants are well trained, highly knowledgeable and operate with complete honesty and tr Why Head Start Asia was founded

Having worked in the recruitment industry for close to 10 years and, although I didn’t know it at the beginning, I quickly learnt the well-known fact that the role of a recruitment consultant is the ultimate sales role. In recruitment, there are 3 main areas of selli

ng and influencing that is imperative to success:

Firstly, the consultant must sell themselves, and the company to the client to convince them to use their services – easier said than done in a competitive market. Secondly, when searching for candidates for a job, the consultant must sell the job to the candidate to gain their interest. Lastly, once the consultant has a shortlist of interested candidates, they need to sell these candidate profiles back to the client to secure an interview. All the three sales above are very different yet have a lot of similarities – and throughout my career as a manager of some very successful recruitment teams in Hong Kong and in the UK,

I have been lucky enough to hire and mentor several very talented recruiters and excellent sales people. During the interview process for hiring new team members, I have met many people who wanted to be in sales but sadly they did not have the experience. In many instances, they were overlooked in favour of applicants with more relevant sales experiences or attributes. This is premise on why Head Start Asia was founded. I wanted to provide those with an interest in a career in sales a platform and confidence to seek out their first role in the sector. And to give them the fundamental techniques and ideas to allow them every possible chance of success from early in their career. Our 2 day intensive sales techniques course is a great way to stand out of the crowd – please visit our website www.headstartasia.com for more details.

The amount of waste we produce in Hong Kong on a daily basis is shameful. You only need to go around the city during lunch time to see the amount of plastic and polystyrene packaging we consumer every day. I'm not pointing fingers, as I have no doubt done the same, but sadly, this waste ends up in our landfill sites or in the sea.

Starting this month, Head Start Asia will make a donation to a local charity every quarter to help support local campaigns and initiatives to help improve HK for the better. The first charity we are proud to be supporting this month is www.plasticfreeseas.org

By supporting organisations like plasticfreeseas.org we hope we can help educate and reduce HK's reliance on plastics - much like our Asian neighbours.

Add oil Hong Kong! 💪

Recruitment Consultant

Recruitment is a multi-billlion dollar global industry. And being a small Hong Kong founded business, Head Start Asia still has a long way to go on its journey which only started a couple of years ago. Our vision is for all our Recruitment Consultants to use the resources and training available to them to successfully assist Clients in filling openings and Candidates in securing roles through long-term partnerships, openness and honest conversations.

As a Recruitment Consultant, a typical day might include the following:

• Fielding incoming phone calls from candidates responding to Job Ads or returning messages to discuss their suitability for a role;
• Arranging candidate interviews with clients – trying to fit everyone in with people’s busy schedules;
• Scouring internal and external databases for suitable candidates to your portfolio of open mandates;
• Calling Clients, new and old, to discuss their recruitment requirements and share with them the vision of Head Start Asia;
• Taking detailed job briefs from Clients so you can start sharing the role with your candidates;
• Using your creativity to write captivating job ads and posting them on various websites and social media channels;
• Meeting candidates to gain a first-hand understanding of their experience, personality and what they are looking for in their next role;
• Having a coffee with a Candidate to discuss an offer you secured for them and to answer any remaining queries they may have;
• Doing the boring administrative paperwork as well as updating our internal databases;
• Finish the day with a glass of wine or two at a networking event expanding your contacts in the field and building on existing relationships;

This job might be for you if:

You love a challenge. Our industry exists for a reason and the reason is that roles are generally hard to fill and candidates are difficult to identify. Our Consultants are gritty, plucky, resourceful and work intelligently to solve problems.

You think on your feet. You like learning new things and you learn quickly. When things change (almost every day) you know how to roll with the punches.

You are good at juggling your time and prioritising a constantly changing TO-DO list

You communicate clearly. You write well. You speak eloquently.

You can explain just about anything to anyone and you are comfortable communicating in writing and on the phone.

You are motivated and driven. This industry is super competitive, and your drive is key to beating the competition.

To be successful in your application you need to have a year or two of work experience under your belt and can show you are comfortable in talking to people. People looking to change careers are welcome to apply as we are always open in new ideas and skills which you may have picked up in other industries. Fresh Graduates maybe considered for an Associate Recruitment Consultant role – please include as much information as you can on your CV regarding any voluntary work, internships or projects you have participated in to tell us a bit more about you.

Please apply through https://hk.jobsdb.com/hk/en/job/recruitment-consultant-100003005897634?IsInPopupPage=true&JsonData=null&Webflow=MainPage&popupChildWindowId=1 if you think this opportunity is for you.
