Hong Kong Hong Kong's 2020 job market perspectives After a turbulent 2019 and start of 2020, Hong Kong's labour market is expected to remain conservative with hiring in 2020. Nonetheless, developments such as the Greater Bay Area, Greater China's Tech industry, and the emergence of virtual banking, will lead to high demand for talent supporting these developments.
With the growing number of businesses entering and expanding their presence, a steady demand for highly skilled talent, particularly within the technical and professional sectors will continue. Experienced talent within the Information Technology, Digital Sales and Marketing as well as Life Sciences sectors will particularly be in demand.
More specifically, Hong Kong's eight new virtual banking licenses are likely to increase the demand for finance, digital and project management talents to support organisations with the implementation of virtual banking programmes. The virtual banks themselves are still in the stage of first hiring, focusing on senior management.
The demand for Tech talent will continue to increase. Digital transformation will continue to disrupt traditional industries and high-tech companies and start ups will invest in R&D and innovation power in 2020. A large focus on digitisation is expected in Hong Kong's Insurance industry, with organisations looking to hire talent with Automation and AI knowledge and skills. The shortage for Tech professionals with Big Data, Mobile Development, Software and User Testing, Database Management Systems, and Cloud Computing skills, results in these talents remaining in very high demand.

The people era: investing in talent We are in the era of people. The era where corporates are spending vast amounts of resources on their staff’s development, well-being and retention, where Human Resources encompasses more than just Recruitment and Compensation & Benefits.

Attraction Gemini supports clients’ talent selection processes with a range of assessments tools. The Gemini Competency Assessment and the Gemini Ability Assessment are ideal tools that allow companies to select the candidate with the desired competencies/abilities. Development Due to the shortage of talent available in the market, companies are nowadays shifting their attention from talent acquisition to retention of talent. One of the determinants for employees to remain with an organisation are opportunities for personal and professional development. Gemini has been providing tailored development programmes, career and executive coaching, 360° feedback assessments, team building programmes and HR advice to SMEs and major corporates in Hong Kong and throughout Asia. Transition Demand for outplacement and redeployment support has boomed over the last few years and many companies are starting to realise the true value of it. Next to softening the blow to the staff involved, it also helps manage the risk companies face when it comes to employer branding during workforce rebalancing.
