🚀 Client Success Story: How Collaboration and Market Insight make all the difference🚀 We are thrilled to share a recent client experience that underscores our commitment to collaboration and deep market insight. 💼 Challenge: A year-long search for a Marketing Manager position Here’s how we did it: 🤝 Collaboration and Commitment: The success was achieved through the dedicated collaboration between our consultant and the client. No magic spell—just a consultant wholeheartedly committed to the assignment and a client serious about the hiring process. It was a challenging task, given the extensive number of candidates approached over the year. While Indonesia is rich in talent, the high-end retail industry can feel small, with everyone knowing each other. 👨🔧 Market Insight: With all available candidates within the targeted market already approached, we advised our client to broaden their search criteria and focus on transferable skills. This strategy, rooted in our deep market insight, allowed us to find the right candidate outside the conventional industry pool. The Result? Our client now has a dynamic Marketing Manager driving their brand forward. This success story highlights our dedication to excellence in recruitment and our ability to adapt and find innovative solutions. We are proud to have made a significant impact on our client's business, candidate and look forward to continuing to provide exceptional recruitment services. #ClientSuccess #RecruitmentExcellence #MarketInsight #HighEndRetail #MarketingManager #TalentAcquisition #Efficiency #SpeedInRecruitment #TransformativeHiring #IndustryExpertise #CareerGrowth #ConsultingSuccess

THE GREATEST COMPLIMENT TO A RECRUITER! This week marked exactly 7.5 years since our first placement, an Account Manager, at City Vision. Fast forward to today, it has been a great pleasure watching them grow to be one of the largest, most innovative OOH companies in Indonesia. To date we have placed over 40 candidates, with the majority of them are managerial-level and above. One of our proudest moments was when the owners invited us to the opening of their new, much larger & very comfortable office. They hosted & showed us around, and while at the conference room, one of the owners said, "𝐖𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐟 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧'𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐮𝐬.  𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮." If you are a recruiter, you would know the feeling – this is why we do what we do. There are no greater compliments.

Strategy to Execution When I receive a brief from a client about a new hiring need, I always ensure to fully understand their expectations. I ask questions like: What are the KPIs for this role? What does the business process look like? What specific competencies, both technical and interpersonal, are crucial for success? This in-depth approach is not just about filling a position—it’s about finding the perfect fit that aligns with the company's goals and culture. It’s a process of understanding and translating client needs into actionable recruitment strategies, much like how I approach challenges in marketing. --------------- During my time as Marketing Communications Director for a property company managing a large mall, I faced the challenge of not only increasing foot traffic but also creating a unique and memorable visitor experience. This required a deep understanding of both the market and the cultural elements that could resonate with our audience. One of the most impactful initiatives I led was the revival of Wayang Potehi, an almost forgotten art form. Wayang Potehi, originating from southern China and brought to Indonesia centuries ago, is a glove puppet theater that blends Chinese and Indonesian heritage. "Potehi" translates to "puppet made from a cloth bag" and has historically been an integral part of the cultural tapestry in various Indonesian communities. --------------- Just as I delve into understanding the specific needs and cultural dynamics of a company when recruiting, I applied the same principles to marketing. By deeply understanding the cultural significance and the emotional connection potential audiences might have with Wayang Potehi, we were able to reintroduce this traditional art form as a vibrant, modern cultural experience that captivated new audiences. This experience underscored the importance of aligning strategy with cultural and market insights—whether it's in recruitment or in marketing. By taking the time to understand the nuances and deeper needs, we can create strategies that not only meet but exceed expectations. --------------- Has anyone else had the chance to see Wayang Potehi? Or experienced how understanding cultural nuances can transform business strategies? #wayang #strategy #execution #traditional #cultural 📷 Pardon the blurry picture, this was 2012

"To manage a team that excels in your expectations, requires a profound understanding of how to fulfil their needs, and how to motivate them to show up and do the work." - Mieke Claerhout, The Marketing House - Vietnam ❌Your business performance equals your employees’ performance. Full stop. ❌ Having worked for many years in Vietnam we know for a fact that many CEOs, managers and business owners struggle with their employees: - low integrity (words and actions not aligning) - low productivity (slow progress, smartphone addiction, fail deadlines) - difficult communication (tasks not executed as explained) - low employee retention (not being able to keep employees) - staff not doing what you need them to do ❇ How to solve this in the long term?❇ 1. Empathy and Understanding: Showing genuine empathy towards employees. Recognizing strengths and challenges. Understanding and appreciating the unique qualities of an employee is better for a happy and productive work environment.   2. Effective Communication: Having a clear and open communication. Keeping employees informed about the company's vision, goals, and strategies. Transparent communication makes sure that employees understand better what the leaders want for the company and what they expect from them. That way employees will also put more trust in their employer.   3. Support and Mentorship: Supporting employees' professional development. Giving constructive feedback, guidance, and opportunities for them to grow their skills. Mentorship is crucial in growing young talent and building a culture of continuous learning. 4.

If you have a prior market exploration in Indonesia, you might notice how every venture can be a challenge, especially when talking about realising a full-scale operation. One of the reasons might lie in the government prioritisation to support local MSMEs, as there is huge economic dependency despite non competitiveness issues arising from it. I firmly believe that market testing and interacting with industry professionals provides invaluable insights in identifying product gaps. Exploring your unique selling proposition (USP) and aligning it with the market is critical, as there is no one-size-fits-all model. In the early stages, hiring dedicated local talent is a practical solution, as it will answer all necessary product development cases and help build a strong network for your brand. One significant challenge lies in the hiring-to-signing process, given Indonesia-specific requirements and commitments beyond payroll. However, hiring local talent that understands the business landscape can significantly improve your operations. In Asia, business is often done through familiarity, and having someone with local expertise can make a big difference. Below an idea of how cost-effective it can be to hire local experts to kick-start your business. ‐------‐------------‐----------------‐-------------------------------------------------‐ As a full-service market entry and investment company, BI International is committed to growth. This commitment led us to launch PeoplePals, a platform that connects international businesses with well-curated local talent.
