What to Expect

At ConnectedGroup we firmly believe that we should represent our clients and candidates equally. We work hard to protect the interests of both parties and ensure that any placement is a mutually beneficial arrangement for the long term.

When you work with us, you can expect:

Complete confidentiality. We never release your details without prior discussion and your express consent to do so.

To be talking to experts in your field, with the ability to offer you market insights and perspective.

An interview process that involves open dialogue and discussion and which is designed to ensure we truly understand where you have come from and where you are (or should be) heading.

Advice and guidance throughout the process on the suitability of a role or company in terms of meeting your career aims through to tips on how to improve your performance at interview.

Direct and constructive discussion on your market value, salary expectations and the most effective way to position yourself in any negotiation process. We do not believe in the ‘if you get more, we get more’ approach to offer management – we expect direct conversations throughout the process to lead to a close that leaves all parties feeling valued and excited about the beginning of a new employer/employee relationship.

Support, advice and information that will enable you to make the best decision for you and your career. We do not push candidates to make decisions, we simply enable and equip them to make an informed choice.

Delivery on our values. We will be Candid in our discussions with you, offer Creative ideas to support how you may achieve your career goals, as well ensuring you are Connected to the right companies and people so that the most relevant opportunities present themselves. Finally, we will demonstrate a Caring attitude and lead with empathy and understanding.

We are often approached about different recruitment or HR related awards but, came to realise that (in the majority of cases), the only real criteria to win is agreeing to pay for it. There is an industry built around creating events to deliver these awards that ultimately have nothing to do with any performance metrics. They can be good PR opportunities, and a chance for industry professionals to network but, at ConnectedGroup, we made a decision that these 'pay to win' awards do not align with our values . External review is absolutely of value and so, when we identified the Great Place to Work® Greater China framework, we realised this was a well aligned opportunity to more deeply understand our culture. There are 2 phases to the assessment: Complete the employee survey. This is a comprehensive cultural questionnaire that requires a 70% pass rate on its 'Trust Index' to gain certification. CG scored 94% and hence are able to celebrate our certification. This also provides us with meaningful feedback on where we can improve and a baseline to monitor this metric in the future. Undertake a 'Culture Audit'. This involves much deeper answers and the provision of evidence and examples to support the strategies we have undertaken. If we score over 80% on this and the survey combined, we will qualify as one of 'Hong Kong's 2023 Best Workplaces'. For us, this ability to independently verify our efforts to make CG a great work environment is more gratifying than other awards. We deeply believe that having a motivated team who have a strong sense of belonging is how we can best serve our clients and candidates and consistently deliver on our ConnectedPledge .
