I have been following this LinkedIn China group for quite some time. It keeps me updated on job movements in China, ranging from IT to financial roles. The group sends out email updates on job opportunities posted by recruiters. It also has a long list of career network subgroups for different regions and expertises too (see below).
The group was created and is managed by Thomas Zhou who is a partner at DaCare International, a firm that helps foreign companies recruit talent in China. It?s an interesting use of LinkedIn to get crowdsourced job postings focusing just on the Chinese market. Zhou?s LinkedIn profile also states that he is a ?China LinkedIn/Social Media Strategist? who helps other companies better make use of the professional social networking platform.
The group announced recently that it has over 70,000 members which is a pretty healthy number considering its niche nature.
LinkedIn has about two million users in China. Though that is a small chunk of its total user count at 161 million, it does suggest that LinkedIn is a useful platform for China, especially when jobs are at the international level. While Facebook and Twitter are blocked in China ? LinkedIn has an edge merely by still being accessible.
Tianji, a similar local service, previously told us that it is attracting 500,000 users each month which looks like a healthy growth figure. We haven?t heard much about Ushi which is another similar service in China.
In Asia, LinkedIn has offices in India, Japan, Singapore, and Hong Kong. We were told several times in the past by LinkedIn that China isn?t quite yet in the pipeline, though my gut feeling tells me otherwise. Anyway, if you?re on Linkedin, don?t hesitate to connect with me.
