About Robert Sheffield

Specialist Area

I am responsible for the growth of our greater China businesses based in Shanghai and Hong Kong SAR. The primary focus is scaling and growing the businesses to meet the growing demand of our clients across the region.

My Advice

We work in a highly mobile environment now, where the demand for skills is ever changing, the challenge of finding the best people in the market is more competitive than every and although businesses may have an idea of what their business needs are now and might be in the future they often don’t know the skill sets that they need or how to acquire them. We understand the talent life cycle from specialisation, attraction and retention. So, my advice is “come and have a conversation with us, you never know where it may lead!"
