Role definition
Clarify outcomes, responsibilities, reporting line, authority, location, language, experience and realistic candidate criteria.
CHINA RECRUITMENT SUPPORT
Build the China role before you begin the candidate search.
Hiring in China works better when the business need, reporting line, authority and employment structure are clear before recruitment begins. Ensamico helps overseas companies prepare roles, coordinate local candidate research and keep the interview process moving across languages and time zones.
CHINA RECRUITMENT SUPPORT
Recruit for the operating reality—not just the job title.
A strong candidate cannot compensate for an unclear mandate, unrealistic compensation, slow headquarters decisions or an unsuitable hiring structure. The recruitment brief should explain what the person must accomplish and how the overseas team will support them.
We provide recruitment coordination and China-side communication support. Employment contracts, payroll, statutory benefits, immigration, labor-law advice and employer-of-record services must be handled by appropriately qualified and authorized providers.
SCOPE
What China recruitment support can include
The assignment is tailored to the role, location, seniority, hiring structure and level of local coordination required.
Candidate research
Use agreed local channels and outreach criteria to identify potentially relevant candidates for the approved role.
Interview coordination
Coordinate schedules, candidate communication, structured questions, feedback collection and next-step ownership.
Hiring decision support
Maintain comparable candidate records, open questions, reference-check requirements and the approved decision process.
PROCESS
How a recruitment assignment progresses
Each step leaves the next decision clearer.
Design the role
Define the business need, measurable outcomes, management structure, hiring route, location, compensation range and timeline.
Search and screen
Research candidates and conduct agreed initial screening against the role, operating context and non-negotiable criteria.
Coordinate interviews
Run a consistent interview process with prepared questions, timely feedback and clear responsibility for each decision.
Prepare the hire
Organize final information, professional checks and handoff to the authorized employer, HR, payroll and legal providers.

FAQ
China recruitment-support questions
Clear answers before you define the assignment.
Can Ensamico employ the candidate for us?
Employment is not included in standard recruitment support. If you need an employer-of-record or other employment solution, we can help organize requirements, but the service must be provided under a separate agreement by a qualified and authorized provider.
Can you recruit across all industries and seniority levels?
Suitability depends on the role, location, specialization and search channels required. We review the brief before accepting an assignment and may recommend a specialist recruiter for highly technical, regulated or executive searches.
Do you perform background checks?
We can coordinate approved checks, but the scope, consent, provider and legal basis must be appropriate. Specialist screening and legal advice may be required depending on the role and information involved.
Can you help define the role before searching?
Yes. Clarifying outcomes, authority, reporting, location, compensation and hiring structure is an important first step, especially for a first China hire or a role managed from overseas.
