Q: No such thing as a "legitimate" headhunter company in China?

I still have a number of months left on my current contract in Beijing, but I'm already starting to think ahead about finding a new job somewhere here in China, preferably in PR or something business related. I've been looking around this website and others and it seems like there's not a lot of nice things to be said about headhunters here, or anywhere, really. I saw a question from a year ago asking the samething, but it wasn't really answered, so I thought I might try again to see if anyone has any new tips.

Are there any semi-decent headhunter companies in China that aren't 100% out to screw me and ship me off to some 4th tier city? I occasionally get messages from Chinese HHers on linkedin, but haven't responded yet, out of concern about scams. Is there anything specific I should know about the process to avoid getting scammed? Or paying unnecessary fees?

Thanks everyone!

I used to think Michael Page was legit but they got busted for advertising fake jobs not too long ago just to get a database of foreigner applicants. If you find a real one that is licensed with a verifiable track record let us all know!

Q: When do you need to get a medical examination?

A: Your potential employer is right! Demand for Medical exam before

A:Your potential employer is right! Demand for Medical exam before granting Z visa is to make sure, you won't be entering China in any abnormal and harmful to others condition.Few days after your arrival to China, you'll be required to complete another ME ... If ME in China will be OK, you'll get a Residence permit stamp into your book some 10-days afterwards. Imagine, you're an employer, who can sponsor my entry and work in China, but after my arrival to China, it would be found I carry some sickness, which would prevent Chinese .gov to issue a Residence permit. Rule is: Z visa should be converted into Residence permit in 30-days after entry to China. So, my advice is:"Complete ME in your home country and forward medical results to your employer".Z visa grant will follow shortly afterwards. Employer is not wrong at their demand for the pre-arrival ME from your home country hospital. -- icnif77
