Firms to hire staff in first quarter: survey
(01-15 19:53)

More than one-third of Hong Kong companies plan to hire more staff in the first quarter of this year.
That is according to a survey by the human resources company, Hudson, which also found that just over half of the firms it questioned intend to keep staffing levels steady, RTHK reports.
But Hudson's General Manager in Hong Kong, Tony Pownall, says the local labour market has a shortage of highly-skilled workers.
