If anything i find hong kong recruiters pontscum, so many of them are just lying straight in your face about many different aspects of jobs and salaries. They are careless as long as they get their bonus (global issue) but only a very few i have met the last 10 years were actually helpful the rest is just borderline criminal.
If you like to drink coffees for free then you can have a great time meeting recruiters, because its a lot of promises under the enjoyment off a coffee and seldom proper follow up. Fancy ABCs in a suit, that basically waste your time.
One tip, if you can avoid consultancy/ subcontract work through one of those recruiting agencies, they have wildly various experiences, from consistent late salary pays, very very basic/none existing benefits etc, i currently work contracted, it was my first time and man it sucks so bad..
In particular order of horrible recruiting agencies in hong kong.
Robert Walters - they are riding the very fine line between what is legal and illigal here in hong kong. They look like a good firm with their educated ABCs but honestly its a recruiter you really want to avoid if can.
Robert Half - reasonable not much to add. Not much hits in my field of expertise though.
Randstad - mixed results definately worse than the randstad in my home country netherlands where they originate from.
Then there is are a bunch of local joins based in and surrounding Central and wan chai, often they just mix up some wordings in existing job openings, have little information about the role, the company etc, and just try to shove resumes to potential employer clients. Most of them are pretty hot garbage.
And a few indian companies, i have no experience with them but they seem to be run from outside HK and i basically did not invest any of my time into them.
Honestly i think Worker rights in Hong kong are shockingly bad compared to Europe, Employers have such vast amount of power, its scary.
