Drawing from job advertisements, interviews with in-house recruiters, and participant observations, Ren offers an in-depth exploration of how elite professional service firms recruit graduates in China.

This book opens the black box of graduate hiring processes from a demand-side perspective, offering a rare look at Chinese recruiters' perception of talent, evaluative practices, and decision-making. It showcases the hiring activities that Chinese employers deploy to capture a homogeneous group of new hires based on cost-effective and rationalized criteria, thereby reinforcing local management and perpetuating the existing sociocultural order within elite firms. Grounded in rich empirical data, the text provides a comprehensive examination of the dynamics behind elite hiring and the local operation of elite professional service firms in transitional China.
