ROLES & MARKETS

Match each role
to your market and organisation.

International business leaders

A business leader may be responsible for market entry, channel development or operations. Before starting a search, clarify the market, business stage, budget, authority and arrangements for reporting to headquarters and accessing internal resources.

We discuss relevant industry and market experience, business responsibilities and team leadership, rather than searching by a "country manager" title alone.

Typical roles: country manager, regional business lead, head of sales or channel development.

Local specialists

Local experience, technical skills and language requirements depend on the work. Customer-facing sales, field support, procurement and corporate functions require different criteria.

Tell us what the role owns, how it works with local customers and colleagues, and how it coordinates with headquarters. We will use that context to discuss the candidate profile and search scope.

Typical roles: sales and marketing, technical and application support, procurement, supply chain, finance and HR.

International workforce planning

When building an overseas team, start with the business objectives, then define initial hires, later additions and existing responsibilities. Hiring priorities should reflect business progress and interview capacity.

Start with the target country, planned operations, existing China and overseas teams, and immediate priorities. We can clarify hiring requirements and sequencing during recruitment discussions. A full workforce review, staffing plan or development programme requires a separately agreed advisory scope.

Topics: business stage, initial roles and priorities, headquarters and local responsibilities, hiring budget and interview owners.

Coordination with China headquarters

Clarify what support the overseas team needs and which responsibilities remain in China. Product, R&D, operations and management responsibilities affect the experience and collaboration skills required overseas.

Key roles in China can be discussed alongside the international hiring plan. China-based roles are scoped by city and responsibilities; overseas assignments require further discussion of location and terms.

Southeast Asia

For recruitment in Southeast Asia, specify the country, city, work location and responsibilities of the local team. Sales, technical support and operations roles call for different experience and communication skills.

We start with responsibilities, working languages, local conditions and headquarters coordination to agree search scope and delivery arrangements. If you are expanding an existing team, share its structure and the roles you need to add.

Africa

Africa is an area of focus for UB hunter. For local hiring or overseas assignments, tell us the country, business stage and initial roles so we can discuss requirements and feasible arrangements.

Clarify the actual work location, languages, assignment conditions and collaboration requirements. We then assess the service scope and responsibilities for the specific country and role.

Other markets:For other markets, start with the country and roles you have in mind.

BEFORE WE BEGIN

Frequently asked questions

Questions about scope, arrangements and fees.

Can we discuss hiring while overseas operations are still being planned?

Yes. Share the country or city, business objectives and what the first hires need to deliver. We can clarify priorities and identify which searches should start early and which can follow business progress.

Does every candidate need to speak Chinese?

It depends on the work. Customer communication, site management, headquarters reporting and written materials may use different languages. Define essential language requirements for each role, then consider where team support is practical.

Can we discuss several overseas roles at once?

Yes. Share the full role list. We first align on business objectives, priorities and assessment criteria, then discuss search scope and interviews. For ongoing hiring, we confirm country and role coverage before agreeing RPO activities and responsibilities.

Are visas, employment contracts and payroll included?

This service covers sourcing, recruitment discussions and coordination up to the start date. Work permits, employment contracts and payroll are arranged by the employer and relevant specialist providers. Responsibilities and handovers must be agreed in advance.

How are timelines and fees determined?

We discuss the market, seniority, requirements, languages and number of hires before agreeing scope, fees and arrangements. Candidate responses, interviews and employer decisions affect progress and the next steps.
