Hong Kong Talent Engage (HKTE) held a two-day Global Online Career Fair last week, featuring nearly 50 renowned Hong Kong enterprises that offered over 700 quality job vacancies across sectors such as accounting, finance, consultancy services, legal compliance and engineering.

The online career fair recorded over 26,000 visits in two days, with about 3,000 curricula vitae received.

To facilitate a connection between talent and enterprises, a one-to-one online meeting session was set up specifically at the career fair, resulting in about 4,800 direct dialogues between talent and enterprises. Participating enterprises expressed that about half of such dialogues would be taken forward.

According to participating accounting firms, they learnt through the online career fair that many international professionals were interested in coming to Hong Kong.

The event effectively linked global talent with enterprises in Hong Kong, thereby enabling direct engagement, enhancing the talent's understanding of the structure and recruitment process of Hong Kong enterprises, and elevating the experience of such talent.

Participating talent came from over 12 countries or regions, such as the Mainland, Singapore, India, the UK, Australia, the US, Malaysia, France and Canada, with 62% of them holding master's degrees.

The HKTE said that the online career fair enables talent on the Mainland and overseas to exchange views directly with enterprises prior to relocation to Hong Kong, gain insights into the city’s job market, and reinforce their confidence in pursuing development in Hong Kong.
