102、RE&LIFE SCIENCESIn 2023,the healthcare and life sciences fields had a significant demand for talent recruitment in production operations and quality management.While large companies are targeting the Southeast Asian market,the Chinese market remains unmatched in terms of growth,scale,and innovation.
103、Whether its local or multinational medical companies,there is a strong need for establishing pro-duction bases and managing quality sys-tems.These companies require individuals with experience in factory construction and product introduction.Local companies prior-itize government resources and risk
104、manage-ment,while multinational companies seek talent familiar with relevant laws and local policies.In 2023,there has been a notable decrease in the recruitment demand for companies in the healthcare and life sciences sectors com-pared to the previous year.This decline has resulted in changes to re
105、cruitment plans,including job freezes,and has consequently led to a longer recruitment process.While the salary increase itself has been reduced,the salary increase brought about by job-hopping is generally cautious.Overall,the salary increase for candidates in this industry has slowed down both wit
106、hin and outside the company.2023 marks a significant year as it signifies the complete transition into the post-pandem-ic era.This transition has not been without its challenges for global medical device com-panies,as the global macroeconomics have undergone changes.The demand for COVID-19 testing h
107、as drastically decreased,putting pressure on these companies to find new avenues for business growth.Conse-quently,the industry has experienced a slow-down in development.In response to these challenges,major multinational companies have been forced to adjust their business focus and restructure the
108、ir organizations.Rather than investing in the diagnostic field,these companies have chosen to increase their investments and foster innovative col-laborations in China in the areas of imaging,IVD(in-vitro diagnostics),and medical artifi-cial intelligence.This strategic move aims to capitalize on opp
109、ortunities and ensure sus-tainable development in the ever-evolving medical device industry.In contrast,the biopharmaceutical industry is experiencing a slowdown in both the pro-duction and sales of chemical generics drugs.This has led foreign companies to reassess their presence in the Chinese mark
110、et,while local life science companies are increasingly venturing abroad.As a result,there is a growing emphasis on candi-dates possessing their own customer and channel resources when hiring for market or business development roles,reflecting the increasing demand for overseas market expansion.28KEY

117、ceeded expectations.Globally,there is significant uncertainty sur-rounding economic growth,geopolitical ten-sions continue to escalate,and inflation levels in Western economies remain abnor-mal.Looking domestically,the economy may continue to be under pressure in 2024 due to a decline in external de
118、mand,insufficient domestic demand,employment pressure,and a slowdown in investment.However,with the implementation of a series of growth stabilization policies in China,the potential for service consumption continues to be released,and the endogenous growth momentum of the economy is expected to str
119、engthen.Notably,important market partici-pants such as Central Huijin Investment,insurance funds,listed companies,and asset management institutions have gradually increased their market entry efforts under the support of low market positions and poli-cies.It is worth mentioning that in the past vola
120、tile year,not only has the overall perfor-mance of quantitative private equity funds been outstanding,but the number of billion-dollar quantitative private equity funds has also continued to expand.As of the third quarter of 2023,the number of billion-dollar quantitative private equity funds has inc
121、reased to 33,an increase of 3 from the end of the second quarter.However,behind such rapid development,the issue of homogenization has emerged,and how to achieve differentiation through talent will be one of the important topics for financial insti-tutions.In the dollar fund segment,investments in C
122、hina have generally tightened or stagnated due to tensions in the US-China relationship,31which has made the new round of fundrais-ing for dollar funds challenging and difficult.However,sovereign funds represented by petrodollars such as Mbadala and Abu Dhabi are expanding their investments in China
123、,which brings new opportunities for domestic hybrid PEVC and dollar funds.From the recruitment perspective,there is a general increase in job opportunities in investor relations,and the demand for invest-ment jobs in new energy,hard technology and other directions is also quite abundant.Among the se
124、gmented investment tracks,consumer PEVC is now focusing a lot of energy and resources on the Southeast Asia region,while domestic consumer projects already invested in are vigorously carrying out post-investment management and em-powerment,therefore,the demand for con-sumer investment talents very m
125、uch expects candidates to have Southeast Asia invest-ment experience and emphasizes whether the candidates have strong post-investment management capabilities,and some cross-discipline candidates such as those from the management consulting field Can-didates from across sectors,such as man-agement c
126、onsulting,are highly sought after in this change.The life sciences investment segment has seen a general slowdown in the pace of investment due to the impact of domestic aggregation and pharmaceutical anti-corruption.Innovative pharmaceuticals and IVDs remain popular areas,and the requirements for c
127、andidates usually require a Ph.D.degree in biopharmaceuticals and the ability to have successful investment experience in the segment.The hard tech track,on the other hand,prefers to welcome candidates with industrial experience and a background in science and technology.32KEY SALARY INCREASE FIGURE

143、tial competencies of HR professionals.It is worth noting that the Chief Human Resourc-es Officer(CHRO)also needs to closely integrate the development of human resourc-es with the strategic objectives of the enter-prises forward-looking strategic thinking and team management capabilities.Unlike multi
144、-national enterprises and large domestic enterprises on the requirements of the HR director in the organizational development capabilities,small and medium-sized enter-prises need more HR directors with the abili-ty to build teams from 0-1.For HRBP/man-ager-level positions,companies will focus on th
145、e assessment of talent for business aware-ness,talent development strategy,and inter-nal diagnostic capabilities for the organiza-tion.Legal and ComplianceIn response to the introduction of personal information and data-related laws and anti-corruption requirements in China in recent years,companies
146、 have strengthened their requirements for legal and compliance talents.For companies of different sizes and natures,the recruitment of legal talents will focus on diversity,specialization and com-prehensiveness.Among them,multinational enterprises,due to their large scale and business scope often di
147、vided into countries or regions,need to have legal talents with better collaborative ability in order to In 2024,talent acquisition in corporate ser-vices areas will face more challenges and opportunities as the market becomes more competitive.Finance and AccountingIPOs and fundraising will be evolv
148、ed as one of the core competitive advantages for the Chief Financial Officer(CFO).With the power of the capital market,CFOs need to lead companies in capital operations and support their growth through the analysis of economic data and risk control.At the same time,they also need to maintain close c
149、on-tact with investors,business partners and the media to enhance the market capitalization management ability.For the CFO,when the company is in the stage of survival and growth,in addition to the traditional finan-cial budget management and risk control responsibilities,the key responsibility asse
150、ss-ment will include data analysis and forecast-ing,as well as upward communication with senior management,to provide strategic financial advice.Likewise,the FA manager is also the most to-be-ignored group of talent,the most important core competency in its accounting management and cost control cap
151、abilities,for example,through a reason-able cost control strategy,reduce the operat-ing costs of the enterprise,improve the level of profitability,increase the stability of the development of the enterprise is an import-ant criterion in the assessment of candidates for the FA manager.3738achieve the
152、 purpose of globalization collab-oration;large domestic enterprises have higher requirements for professional knowl-edge in the fields of data compliance and overseas experience on the basis of the day-to-day increase in the demand for over-seas business.This also makes the recruit-ment requirements
153、 increasingly refined,requiring more solid professional knowl-edge and experience to be competent,while SMEs pay more attention to relevant cultural adaptability and comprehensive legal literacy when recruiting legal talents.Compared with large enterprises,the busi-ness of small and medium-sized ent
154、erprises is relatively broad,and the corresponding legal issues are also more common,so talents are required to have rich experience in corporate legal affairs and a solid legal foundation.CORPORATESERVICES39KEY SALARY INCREASE FIGURESAverage salary increase receivedby employees2022202310%3%Average
