            Here are the key components that make ConnectedGroup a great place to work:
  • Reward Scheme

    The key elements of our incentive scheme operate as follows:

    • A market leading, transparent personal bonus scheme based on directly attributed fee revenue, calculated quarterly based on contracts signed and paid monthly based on collections. There are no penalties for late client payments. 
    • Additional quarterly bonuses paid based on achieving grade based target thresholds for Associate Consultants through to Managers.
    • Quarterly events for both individual high achievers and overall company performance.
    • Annual cash or incentive trip reward based on achieving an annual grade based target (as opposed to a single target for all levels).
    • Management override for those with leadership responsibilities ensuring financial reward for team performance. 
    • Decreasing % of salary cost allocation to personal bonus threshold as leadership responsibilities increase.
    • Generous internal referral scheme for introducing talent to the business. 
    • Access to a loyalty platform offering discounts on a range of products and services.

    We have a track record of experienced recruiters joining us from both larger and smaller firms who earn more (due to an exceptional scheme) and generate record levels of revenue (due to the platform and culture). In 2018 we surveyed our staff who joined us with at least 1 year of previous industry experience and who had worked for us for at least 12 months - over 80% of them had both billed the same or more (on average over 40% more) and earned more (on average more than a 60% increase in net earnings). 


    In 2023 we repeated the survey which showed that, based on the same criteria, 92% had earned the same or more with an average of a 54% increase in billing. That 92% had all earned more with an average increase of 43% in net earnings.

  • Leadership

    We have a defined approach to leadership as a skill in its own right. Our leaders are all highly knowledgeable in their own industry sector or function as well as in recruitment and executive search, so they are ideally placed to help both clients and candidates achieve their objectives.


    Our leaders are the front line of our business as direct revenue generators and not hidden away in offices or behind spreadsheets, so they intrinsically know what makes great recruiters and how to develop them. . 


    We have always believed that a person's revenue record is only half of what makes a good manager. We look for leaders who are balanced, supportive and inspiring and those who walk our values consistently. 

  • Resources

    ConnectedGroup operates with the heart of a family business and the mindset of a corporate. We are always aspiring to provide the right tools that ensure our teams have what they need to deliver the best possible service to our clients and candidates. These include:

    • A corporate profile as one of the most followed recruitment firms on LinkedIn in Hong Kong and one of the most socially engaged in the Asia region.
    • The operation of a recruitment system that is integrated with Outlook and with full mobile access.
    • Remote e-mail access to all staff via mobile and web.
    • Multi-platform job posting through a single portal.
    • A video interviewing platform (via CGConnect) with both real-time and automated recording functions to enable video presentations to the client, alongside the candidate profile that integrates with MS Teams.
    • Full Microsoft 365 driven environment.
    • A dedicated Learning & Development Manager who supports the ongoing development of staff through a combination of classroom, at desk and online resources and tracked via a Learning Management System.
    • A portfolio of innovative and attractive client agreements that can be utilised to foster long term partnerships. 
    • A dedicated Business Solutions Manager who is constantly developing access to data and insights via PowerBI and driving efficiencies with other tools.
    • A dedicated Marcomms Manager supporting both corporate and desk driven branding and media initiatives.
  • Culture

    In addition to the framework outlined here that feeds into our culture, we endeavour to support our staff with other policies and practices that make ConnectedGroup a great place to work:

    • A relaxed 'client appropriate' dress code.
    • Quarterly open discussion forums with our MD and all non-management staff.
    • Flexibility to work from home on Mondays
    • Friday office-wide roundups for information sharing and results updates and a 4pm finish time to close the week.
    • Dedicated Social Committee that allows input from staff on what events and initiatives we run.
    • A mature approach to developing individual business plans without depending on blanket KPIs.
    • A consultative and flexible approach to supporting staff with health issues. 
    • Transitionary and flexible schemes for mothers returning to work after maternity leave.
    • Most importantly, we are always listening and open to new ideas. 

Social Purpose

You can learn more about our social purpose here but what does this mean to our employees?


Whether it is through our sponsorship of under-privileged children, the low-bono recruitment work we do for Hong Kong charities, our Recruit4Good platform, our support of The Fair Employment Foundation, or our role as a connector of knowledge and resources in the NGO world, our goal is to give our employees confidence. Confidence that every day that they come to work, every hour they invest and every dollar they earn, the business is providing value beyond just making profits. We don't expect our staff to invest their personal time in these initiatives but, of course they are welcome to and we will support them in championing their own causes wherever possible.

We are delighted to be a Great Place To Work™

In April 2023, ConnectedGroup received official certification and 96% of our team voted that we are a Great Place To Work™.
