Foreign corporate banks in China are increasingly trying to buildrevenues from Chinese state-owned and privately-owned enterprises (SOEs andPOEs) and reduce their reliance on multi-national clients. “They valuethe market opportunity of the China-outbound business from these organisations,” says EdisonGao, a partner at search firm Pro-Matrix & Co. “Therefore,SOE and POE coverage bankers and relationship managers are on fire – every bankis fighting for them. Local corporate-coverage bankers are earning 30% to 50%more than their peers at same level who manage MNC accounts.”? 2) Local vs foreign: it’s a stark careerchoice? The 41 international banks in China – HSBC and StandardChartered are the largest – employ about 44,000 people, have a market share of under 2% and are“struggling to find and retain talent” in face of a “rapidimprovement in career prospects” at Chinese institutions, according to the Foreign Banks in Chinareport, published earlier this year by PwC. “There’s no levelplaying field between Chinese state-owned banks and foreign banks: employees oflocal banks receive higher salaries as graduates, don’t have tolearn English or report to a foreigner, pay less tax and work fewer hours,” says BenTang, manager, client solutions, at Randstad. “Foreign banksusually leverage their global reach and target employees who are seekinginternational experience.”? 3) Bonuses are a mixed bag? “Guaranteedbonuses, although getting rarer everywhere, are even rarer in China. Whileverbal guarantees are sometimes given, more often than not they don’tmaterialise,” says Alistair Ramsbottom, managing director of search firm The BlacklockGroup. “Domestic institutions can have a broad range of allowances which arenot common in foreign ones – for example clothing, hot-weather and holiday allowances orvouchers.”? 4) You may not need to stay in a job for long? The traditional tendency for finance professionals in Singapore andHong Kong to frequently change companies is on the wane, as we reported lastmonth. In mainland China, however, where skill shortages are more extreme,short stints are still de rigueur. “Amid the tight industry-widewar for talent, job hopping is common in the Chinese banking sector and notlooked upon as negatively as in other countries in Asia,” says Tangfrom Randstad. “Changing jobs within three months is considered acceptable, leadingto ongoing high turnover rates.”? 5) Retention policies really matter? As we reported in April, banks in China have been forced to step uptheir family-friendly policies in a bid to boost recruitment and retentionrates. “Engaging a diverse workforce is another effective solution torelieve the manpower shortage in the banking and finance sector,” says Tang. “Welcomingreturn-to-work mothers and mature-age workers to the workplace would expand thetalent pool.”? 6) The regulatory skill shortage is dire in China? We’ve already highlighted just how hard it is to find compliance andrisk talent in Singapore and Hong Kong. In mainland China, the shortage is evenmore extreme. “There is growing economic confidence, but this is coupled withfinancial-sector uncertainty and a general increase in risk awareness, all ofwhich contributes to a more buoyant recruitment market in compliance and risk,” says JackLiu, a banking and financial services consultant at Morgan McKinley. “Given theshortage, organisations are facing high salary demands and there are manyopportunities to move be up corporate ladder in these functions.”? 7) Returnee Chinese need more time to settle in? While Chinese bankers who have recently studied or worked overseasare still highly prized as new recruits, these so called “sea turtle” (hai gui)returnees often take much longer than expected to integrate back into a Chineseworkplace. “They need time to learn and adapt to different market trends andregulatory requirements,” says Laura Yu, manager, financial services and banking at RobertWalters. “As relationships are key in doing business in China, they also needtime to build up their networks, especially for front office positions.”
