Core Viewpoint - The Hong Kong International Talent Career Expo is primarily attracting job seekers from mainland China, with local and foreign candidates being relatively few [2][3]. Group 1: Job Seekers' Perspectives - Many job seekers from mainland China are looking for better work-life balance opportunities in Hong Kong, as they find the job market in mainland China to be overly competitive and demanding [2][3]. - Job seekers, including those with advanced degrees from Hong Kong, are facing intense competition, with some positions attracting up to 200 applicants [3]. - Candidates like Mr. Lin and Ms. Li express difficulty in finding suitable positions that match their qualifications, with many roles available being in sales or insurance, which they prefer to avoid [6][7][8]. Group 2: Recruitment Landscape - The recruitment event featured a variety of companies, including financial institutions like Hang Seng Bank and Prudential Insurance, as well as non-financial firms such as PwC and Hong Kong Jockey Club, offering roles across different sectors [6][7]. - The number of suitable positions for job seekers appears to be decreasing, with a notable increase in insurance sales roles, which are not favored by many candidates [7][8]. - The job market in Hong Kong is characterized by a preference for candidates with local experience and language skills, particularly Cantonese, which poses challenges for many mainland applicants [15][16]. Group 3: Talent Acquisition Programs - The Hong Kong Quality Migrant Admission Scheme and the Hong Kong Talent Pass Scheme are popular among mainland applicants, with the latter being easier to apply for and having a high approval rate [12]. - As of June 2025, the Talent Pass Scheme received approximately 135,000 applications, with a high approval rate of 80.7%, indicating strong interest from mainland talent [12]. - The Quality Migrant Admission Scheme has updated its criteria, requiring applicants to meet at least six out of twelve assessment criteria, which include age, language proficiency, and work experience [11][12].
