HR and Recruitment Innovation Talks: outlook on China’s
talent market
This fall has seen Hult Shanghai host HR and Recruitment Innovation
Talks, which addressed the trends and challenges in China’s talent
market. The latest talk invited speakers Simone Groeneveld, Director of
Solution for ManPower Group, and Jacob Bonk, Recruitment Director
for L’Oréal China, to discuss the challenges in the Chinese talent market,
and to put forward new ideas to help tackle the issues employers face.
The session provided students with a great insider view on how the job
market operates in China, as well as an opportunity to network with
recruiters and hiring managers in the region.
Robin Bew, Managing Director of The Economist Intelligence
Unit, visits campus
In November, Hult Shanghai kicked off ‘The Economist Series’ with
Robin Bew, Managing Director of The Economist Intelligence Unit, as
guest speaker. As the global economy is seeing a major shift in growth
patterns, the BRIC economies faltering, Europe stagnating, and the U.S.
economy slow, Robin discussed how this is affecting investment patterns
and consumers’ confidence in major markets, and highlighted recent
global economic trends. The event was a major success,
attended by current students, alumni, and even prospective students.
International Cultural Festival
November 14 saw the International Cultural Festival come to Hult
Shanghai. Now in its third year, over 35 countries were represented at
the festival, as the entire campus was transformed into an airport where
students could ‘travel the world’ in three hours! Students enjoyed tasting
food and drink from around the world, while the national costume parade
kept everyone entertained. A fantastic time was had by all our students,
as they discovered more about their classmates’ homes countries.
