80+ US associate offers in Asia in the past year! This post space will be a shameless advertisement of Kinney Recruiting’s recent accomplishments in Asia. Why? The information we have presented about the market over the last couple of years has been spread around and there are some slick recruiters out there who do not have nearly enough to do in their home markets these days. How do YOU determine whether a smooth talker has real experience in Asia before you put your trust in him/her? Our first recommendation: don’t focus on flashy banner ads highlighting a couple of placements made in Asia. By all means, listen to whether the recruiter really knows what he is talking about. No one who talks to our Asia team is going to have any doubt he is dealing with someone who knows his business. We’ve been named one of the 15 most important recruiters to know by LawDragon.com, for gosh sakes (see our related flashy banner ad coming soon). But since a lot of us focus on the recent offers and placements above all else, and because so many recruiters are claiming expertise in Asia now, we think it is time to go “open kimono” and give you some specifics. Without further ado, here is a list of some of our recent, in the past year, associate placements and offers received in Asia. We have left partners out of this list (who are my focus) and a few of the recent offers were probably missed, but we still couldn’t fit all of it in a banner advertisement. We’ll edit this to add about 10 more offers as we pull the information together.
