Quotes from MRINetwork Owners on their success in Asia
In a previous post I had talked about our awards held in celebration of the success in our Asian region. I wanted to give a little more detail around the awards as our offices were recognised during the gala awards dinner at the Goldcoast Hotel, Hong Kong for achievements in the past 12 months.
The MRI China Group with offices in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Seoul and Singapore all collected awards during the ceremony.
“I am delighted with our results and believe it reflects how we have successfully responded to our clients’ requirements”, said Tony Dickel. “We have implemented a number of changes that were necessary for our continued growth and we were able to evolve in a positive manner”. In fact, he believes their success is due to three key factors.
Firstly, they have in-depth knowledge of the industries, and in particular the discrete cultural environments, within the markets they serve. The MRI China Group was set up in 1998 and today, the group has over 250 staff focusing on the Banking, IT, Chemicals, Industrial and Automotive, SCM/Logistics, Manufacturing, Architecture, Real-estate and High Tech industries.
Secondly, Their in-depth knowledge of their industries led them to identifying a gap in the market. Many companies in the region are looking for highly-skilled, specialist candidates, which are in short supply and would often mean that it took a significant length of time to find the right candidate. The MRI China Group therefore established two research and data-mining centres in Manila and Chengdu to enhance market intelligence services for its clients. This enables them to source candidates, such as those with overseas experience and different languages, and therefore respond quickly to their clients’ needs.
Lastly, in 2006, the MRI China Group partnered with Barkers Resourcing to set up Tal-os Asia Limited to provide Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) solutions, large scale recruitment solutions and talent market research solutions to Chinese and global MNCs, which has enabled them to have a dedicated resource to meet these clients’ requirements.
Tony Dickel is a great example of how a successful formula can be replicated among a number of offices. His business continues to grow across the Asian region and we expect this trend to continue,” says Michael Jalbert, CEO of MRINetwork.
Teh Kwan Koon, Chief Executive Officer at MRINetwork MRI Worldwide in Malaysia, also received several awards for his office based in Kuala Lumpur. “We are committed to providing our clients with the ideal candidates for their current and future business,” says Teh Kwan Koon. “I am a firm believer in professional training so all of my consultants undergo full training with regular refresher courses and this is the key to our success.”
Business in the Asia-Pacific region is still growing year on year and it is a significant area of business for MRINetwork. To reflect their truly global organisation and the growth in the Asian region, MRINetwork has recently launched its website in Simplified Chinese www.mrinetwork.cn
