Deloitte To Hire 2,400 Staff for HK, China Next Year – Report
HONG KONG (Dow Jones)–Accounting firm Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu plans to hire as many as 2,400 new staff for its mainland China and Hong Kong operations, the South China Morning Post reported Monday citing a senior executive.
The hiring campaign “reflected the firm’s belief that (China’s) economy would rebound to strong growth despite the recent poor market environment around the world,” Kester Yuen, regional managing partner for southern China at Deloitte, was cited as saying.
Around 400 of the jobs will be in Hong Kong, while the rest will be based in mainland China, the report said.
It said the new recruitment will represent an increase of 18% in the headcount of the Hong Kong division and a 25% increase in the mainland China division.
