🌏 My Week 2 Recruitment Trends

(Subscribe to my newsletter on my website!)

Week 2 of 2026 has been another insightful one for me in recruitment. 

Compared to last week, I made fewer BD calls but I balanced that by meeting more clients in person and sending out more CVs. 

Here’s a snapshot of the roles I picked up this week:

🌍 Overseas

- Dubai → Investment role

- Singapore → Sales role

- Shanghai → Product Manager (garment industry)

🏢 Hong Kong (myself & my colleague)

Accounting Manager for an insurance firm

Operations role for a bank

I’ve started writing these weekly updates to track my own productivity, but also to share how the Asia recruitment market is moving. 

It keeps me accountable, and hopefully gives you a window into the trends I’m seeing across different regions.
