Getting the right people is key to building a strong team and achieving your business goals but it is not easy. With the global race for talent getting increasingly intense, recruiting and retaining top-tier professionals has become a critical challenge for businesses, especially in competitive industries like banking and finance.
Established in 2022, AcWise Recruitment Limited (AcWise) provides executive recruitment and corporate advisory services to the banking and financial sectors in Hong Kong. It is bolstered by a substantial international database, a vast business network, and extensive industry experience.
In addition to talent recruitment services, including headhunting, contingency recruitment, secondment and temporary and contract placement, its scope of business covers professional training and development, payroll and administrative support, manpower assessment and consultancy.
Amid the global scramble for talent, President Xi Jinping has emphasized the need to “accelerate the building of an important talent centre and innovation highland in the world.” Dovetailing with the national plan for strategic development, AcWise is strengthening ties and engaging with stakeholders in the financial industry, as well as training institutions, professional instructors and business organizations to recruit and nurture talent.
In 2023, the company took part in the Ideation programme organized by the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks, gaining access to funding and guidance, which allowed fresh ideas to come to life.
Describing the BLOCKSUM’E programme, AcWise CEO Paris Yeung said it was unlike traditional talent acquisition models, serving as an innovative services platform powered by blockchain and artificial intelligence.
“BLOCKSUM’E connects job seekers with recruiting companies while automating real-time identity and document verification, which helps overcome common pain points in the hiring process,” he said, adding that the platform is expected to enter the market as a pilot programme in the first half of 2025.
Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) has become a corporate priority in recent years. It is an essential indicator for tracking business practices and performance, laying the foundation for companies to win the trust of customers and investors. To this end, AcWise offers relevant professional training courses and corporate advisory services to encourage companies to embrace ESG for sustainable growth.
The company became an HKGCC member last year, hoping to foster business development and explore business opportunities through the Chamber’s knowledge-sharing sessions, networking events and professional training for businesses and individuals.
“We hope to collaborate with HKGCC to organize timely workshops, forums and seminars in the future since talent training and development is also one of our professional service areas,” said Yeung. “By harnessing the wisdom and insights of industry experts on manpower-related issues, we can achieve mutual benefits while helping Hong Kong attract top professionals, establishing it as a talent hub and centre for innovation.”
