Laowai Career helped me find a successful job that I'm happy at. So far I cannot complain. I have already recommended them to a lot of different coworkers. Emily and Lindsay were very easy to reach and full of information.

I'm writing here to thanks LaowaiCareer, the best job board to find jobs in China I ever found, when I firstly contacted them to ask something, they almost replied me instantly and pointed me to the right direction on how to get in touch in the company that posted the job I was interested. They also said that if I have problems directly getting in touch with that company, to let them know so that they can call that company HR and tell about me.

I was looking for a job in China and was not sure where to start, I could see some alternatives, agencies, and so on, but it is hard to find the right service these days. Then I came across LaowaiCareer and was amazed how easy everything was!

The website was very easy to navigate and easy to use so I found everything I needed quickly, which is a great thing, otherwise you can dig into a website for hours and still don't get what you need.

Anyway, they helped me find a job which I really like and I can't thank them enough. So I will use this website to thank them in a way! :)

Moved to China a few months back. I was really in need of a job to sustain myself, I had few job offers but none really interested me. A friend recommends me to LaowaiCareer and there and then, I started my job hunt. Applied a few times to mouth watering offers and I got a job in a span of a week. Really recommend

Phew! I was really worried about coming to China and finding a job. I had looked all over the internet for something, but it seemed like a lot of the offers were scams or wanted me to sign up my email address to something (I've done that before and just ended up with loads of spam).
Anyway, LaowaiCareer seemed a bit more of a professional option. I signed up and low and behold, I've moved to China. I arrived in Beijing about a month ago. The company I work with is really nice and the people here seem very trustworthy. I don't think I would have found as good of a position in China if it weren't for LaowaiCareer

Tip for consumers:
Make sure to keep looking at the new opportunities each day. I managed to catch mine before practically anyone else got to it. They even said they liked that I had applied first during the interview.

Thank you so much for your kind feedback! Have a great weekend!

From the business

LaowaiCareer is a premium job search website designed for both foreigners looking to find employment in China and employers seeking for suitable international candidates. LaowaiCareer’s mission is to connect the increasingly large Chinese employment market with foreigners looking to find work in China. We aim to help bridge the language gap, offer integral advice to both candidates and employers, and provide an unequaled service.

Business History

LaowaiCareer first started operating in January 2016, in response to a problem which the Chinese employment and job-seekers market faced. That problem was one of communication. Yuri Khlystov, having lived in Beijing since 2008, noticed that Foreign employees looking for employment in China would constantly be sent through middlemen and agents. This seemed to be in large part due to companies and organizations looking to recruit foreign employees, facing language or cultural issues when it came to communicating with potential candidates.

Yuri Khlystov wanted to change that, and so LaowaiCareer was conceived of as a type of bridge between the two parties. Not only as a platform for posting and finding job opportunities but as a tool for aiding in communication and understanding on an international level. For those looking to start a career in China, it was to be a gateway into the middle kingdom and its booming career market. For employers, it was to be a way to access international markets by introducing international employees into their companies.

Having already had a lot of experience with the employment market, and knowing how to fix the problem, Yuri Khlystov set about using that experience to set up LaowaiCareer. Having established partnerships with over 2,000 companies, small businesses and organizations during his career, his team began to establish the foundations of what would become LaowaiCareer.

Since then, LaowaiCareer has expanded greatly. Currently, the site has over 120,000 viewers per month. Candidates can check for new opportunities, create their own industry-standard resumes, and use LaowaiCareer as a great source of information.

In addition to this, over 500 companies are now signed up to promote their job opportunities to foreigners, including business giants such as BMW, CCTV, and EF Education First. Every day, new jobs are posted on the platform and countless foreigners who have signed up either apply to them or are invited to interview.

For these companies, LaowaiCareer has also spread its influence into over 400 WeChat groups and other social media platforms, including Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. Currently, an excess of 10,000 social media users are reached by LaowaiCareer, with this number growing every day.

For the future, LaowaiCareer looks set to only get bigger. The market and need for a recruitment platform in China which does more than act as a place to post and find jobs is there, and LaowaiCareer is filling it.
