What are Returnees?

Returnees

Need to find the right candidates for your operations in Asia? Frustrated that the best candidates in Asia have multiple job offers before you even find them? Consider returnees. Returnees are Western-educated, bilingual, bicultural individuals, many with significant work experience in the United States or Europe, who are interested in returning to their home countries and are looking for exciting positions at international companies such as yours. Recruiting returnees offers the following benefits:

  • Returnees combine their local, native knowledge, expertise, and language skills with their knowledge of the West, including Western business practices, English language skills, and advanced computer know-how.
  • Returnees are almost always cheaper than expatriates, and oftentimes more geographically flexible - they will sometimes be willing to work in the hinterlands.
  • Returnees often prefer to work for Western companies in their home countries.
  • Returnees represent a virtually untapped pool of potential candidates.

Pacific Bridge was the first full-service recruiting firm to specialize in recruiting returnees for Asia. We have spent years building an extensive network of relationships, not easily duplicated, with the Asian-American community, including relationships with:

  • Over 300 University Japanese, Chinese, Korea, and other Asian Student Associations and Clubs
  • Over 75 Chinese-American Associations
  • Over 50 Japanese-American Associations
  • Over 25 Korean-American Associations
  • Over 150 Japanese University Alumni Associations in the U.S.
  • Numerous other Asian cultural and professional organizations

We are well known and respected by many Asian-American student groups, cultural associations, and other organizations, and continue to build relationships every day. Many of the returnees we have placed also spread the word about our services, expertise, and professionalism. PBI staff also speak at a variety of conferences on Asian recruiting and HR issues and have written and published numerous articles, including those in our Publications section.
