 Leveraging the Unique Talents of Domestic and International Chinese Gen-Y Candidates [8:52m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

More than 75,000 Chinese students represent the second-largest foreign population attending U.S. universities—a number that’s growing by 8.2% annually. Facts like this present global companies with a critical choice of recruiting Chinese talent from within China, or building their Chinese presence with students who have studied abroad.

On October 29th, I spoke with Nancy Dilthey and Alexandra Levit about the emerging population of Gen-Y talent inside China. In this podcast, I talk with Corrine Chen—a member of our employer communication teams and a U.S./Chinese business connector—about the differences between “domestic Chinese” candidates (those who completed their university studies inside China) and their international counterparts (Chinese students who have studied in other countries).

Corrine draws an interesting picture of business and cultural experiences that may impact the way global companies leverage these two very different groups of emerging Chinese candidates. Please listen. Then share your own observations by posting a comment below.
