Against the backdrop of a years-long corporate localization trend in China, a surprising shift is unfolding across global businesses.

DCCC invites you to join our exclusive commercial webinar co-organized with DI Sense China to decode this pivotal talent trend and gain actionable industry insights.

A recent surge in hiring foreign managers and specialists for positions in China has caught widespread attention. The development comes at the back of a decade-long localization wave, which has seen foreigners being replaced with Chinese executives.

Why is it happening now? Is it a temporary development, or does it signal a bigger change in how international companies approach the Chinese market? When should a company consider localizing their China leadership team and when does a foreign decision-maker makes sense?

In this webinar, HR expert Miriam Wickertsheim explains how hiring practices are evolving across Chinese industries. Miriam also offers strategic insights and practical advice on what companies should keep in mind when recruiting for jobs in China.
