Meanwhile, Sanjay Sharman, Partner, Assurance & Advisory Services at Deloitte Singapore will give the Summit a view into the wider economic context for the recruitment industry. The Asia Pacific is the fastest growing economic region in the world today and recruiters need to be prepared in order to engage effectively with the speed and nature of business if they are to be successful. 

On day two the Summit will be addressed by Bernie Schiemer, CEO and Founder of HRBoss. Schiemer’s intention is to offer a case study of a successful recruitment business in the region, based on his own experience having created Japan’s largest IT recruitment company and selling it to Hays in a ground-breaking deal. Schiemer will give insights into laying the foundations for growth, how to maximise expansion and the particular approach required to manage a successful business in the region.

The summit, now in its third year is the largest event of its kind in the region and is well established in the recruitment industry calendar. Visitors use this occasion to access business critical information about recruitment in the region to plan new initiatives or ensure their existing businesses enjoy ongoing success.

This year the Summit takes the theme of Asia Pacific In Focus and has been specifically designed to deliver value to recruiters keen to target particular countries. While Sanjay Sharman and Steve Shepherd will give a detailed overview of the industry, breakout sessions will concentrate on the opportunities and challenges associated with the recruitment industry on a country by country basis. These countries include some of the more established and well known markets such as Australia, Singapore and Hong Kong, but there’s also the chance to hear about the industry in Indonesia, Myanmar, Malaysia and the Phillippines.

With its worldwide remit and network, The Global Recruiter is able to secure industry leading experts for these areas, bringing them together in order to provide recruiters with a concentrated resource that can power their businesses into the future. Attendance at the Summit will make and real different to the businesses of those who attend.
