According to the 2019 Employer Brand Research survey (Hong Kong) conducted by Randstad HK, 39% of respondents are willing to forfeit more than one-tenth of their salaries in exchange for job security. This is 10% more than the Asia Pacific's average.
Natellie Sun, Managing Director, Randstad HK said, “The
last thing any employee wants is to be made redundant because of factors that
are beyond their control, especially if they have just gone through a tedious
job search process.”
Another 43% look for an ideal
employer that can guarantee job security and ‘Salary and benefits’ remained the
most important factor that job seekers look for in an ideal employer, followed
closely by work-life balance.
Half the respondents have sought the counsel of a recruiter when looking for a job and 34% had successfully found a new job in 2018 because of a recruiter.
