This fall has seen Hult Shanghai host HR and Recruitment Innovation Talks, the first installment of <i>The Economist<\/i> Series, and the third annual International Cultural Festival.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trends and challenges in China&#8217;s talent market<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The innovation talks invited HR and recruitment professionals to discuss the trends and challenges in the Chinese talent market, and propose new ways of tackling some of the issues employers face. Simone Groeneveld, Director of Solutions at ManPower Group, and Jacob Bonk, Recruitment Director for L&#8217;Oreal China, were the guest speakers and local job seekers also joined to give their perspective. For our students, it offered a great insider view on how the job market operates in China, as well as an opportunity to network with recruiters and hiring managers in the region.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>\u2018The Economist Series\u2019 addresses global economic trends <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Next, Hult Shanghai kicked off \u2018The Economist Series\u2019. Robin Bew, Managing Director of The Economist Intelligence Unit, was the inaugural speaker.
