There are various channels to identify and reach different candidates. In general, there are three types of candidates that can be identified during the recruitment process:
Due to the high activity level of the recruitment market in China, many demanded candidates do not publish their information in generic databases as this might lead to them being overloaded with irrelevant job offers. Many of these candidates are therefore only approachable via direct contacting and often only promote themselves via niche (e.g. industry-specific) channels and their personal network. This also has the benefit that the candidates are able to realize a higher market value compared with finding jobs via the generic strategies (actively applying, publishing profile in databases).
