Q: No such thing as a "legitimate" headhunter company in China?

I still have a number of months left on my current contract in Beijing, but I'm already starting to think ahead about finding a new job somewhere here in China, preferably in PR or something business related. I've been looking around this website and others and it seems like there's not a lot of nice things to be said about headhunters here, or anywhere, really. I saw a question from a year ago asking the samething, but it wasn't really answered, so I thought I might try again to see if anyone has any new tips.

 

Are there any semi-decent headhunter companies in China that aren't 100% out to screw me and ship me off to some 4th tier city? I occasionally get messages from Chinese HHers on linkedin, but haven't responded yet, out of concern about scams. Is there anything specific I should know about the process to avoid getting scammed? Or paying unnecessary fees?

 

Thanks everyone!

I used to think Michael Page was legit but they got busted for advertising fake jobs not too long ago just to get a database of foreigner applicants.  If you find a real one that is licensed with a verifiable track record let us all know!

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change student visa to labourer one is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
