Introduction from Callan Anderson
Callan Anderson
It gives me great pleasure to join Gemini Personnel, a firm that is one of the most established recruitment and human resource consultancies in the region, garnering an enviable pedigree and service offering by a dedicated team of consultants and business professionals that I have admired externally for some time.
I am sure over the next weeks and months, I will have the opportunity to meet many of our clients and partners, but also feel a brief history of my background may be pertinent as an introduction. I am a strong believer that the job you start your career with does not need to be the same one you retire with, and this is probably something that I have accepted more and more as my own career and experience developed.
My first job was in hotel management in Edinburgh (Scotland), and then quickly took a sharp turn in the voluntary sector, from where I ended up in the United Nations supporting infrastructure projects during the Bosnian conflict. Giving up my bullet proof vest and blue helmet, I moved into business consultancy and the heady days of e-business, only to be catapulted to Hong Kong in the year 2000 as the dot com bubble was bursting. A number of years in IT operations and regional consulting engagements led me to the recruitment and human resource consulting field, where I have remained happily for the last few years.
For any recruiter, the above career path would make it difficult to pigeonhole me into one particular job function, yet I believe as a professional recruiter, our job is not to pigeonhole candidates, but to think outside of the box in such a way as to help our clients achieve the best hiring decision to take their business forward.
With that in mind, joining Gemini is one of the major highlights of my twenty-year career, and look forward to working closely with all our clients as an enabler in achieving your business objectives and strategies for the coming months.
