Search firms are "head hunters." They get into the market, find the right target candidates, hunt them, and be done with it.
This is particularly true in today's China. Opportunities are abundant if you are a trilingual who speaks English, Chinese and the language of a profession. Top candidates can get calls every week from head hunters offering a better paid position, not necessarily a better career. Young professionals change jobs as frequently as patroning restaurants. Very fast they end up with many great companies on their resume but are often lost in their career.
There got to be a better way to handle this.
