Why Recruitment Companies Will Be Using Serviced Offices in 2024

Why a serviced office?

There is no such thing as a generic office space that fits all purposes. Every industry has its own requirements: privacy, ample open space, a manager room, a meeting room, a server room. Each serviced office can cater to some of these, if not all. For recruitment agencies, the main needs are simple. They want the flexibility to grow or downsize when needed. They want a spacious office, phone booths, and a lot of meeting room credits, if not a built-in meeting room inside their office.

Today, most Hong Kong serviced offices can adapt and structure a lease that fits a recruitment firm’s requirements.

Privacy When we gather our clients’ requirements, most of them ask for spacious office space. In 2016, serviced offices offered cramped, tiny rooms with 1.1m long desks and basic office chairs. That is a thing of the past. Some operators now provide spacious rooms with adaptable desk sizes, dedicated phone lines, and partitions between each table to lower the noise and improve privacy. Phone booths are also free to use in most centres.

Flexibility Unlike a traditional office, serviced office providers can offer flexible contracts. Leases run from 3 months to 2 years. Companies get flexibility without a long commitment. They can also grow or downsize, and the provider moves them to another room that fits their needs.

Meeting room access Access to meeting rooms matters whenever you meet a new client or candidate. Within the past three months, we represented four different recruitment firms. We structured leases where they get up to 60 hours of meeting room credits a month included in their package. Tenants can also use the common areas to hold meetings for free.

Reception The reception is an essential part of the service package, because the reception staff is an extension of your team. A good welcoming team creates a positive first impression for candidates and visitors, and provides secretarial services.

If you are thinking about a serviced office instead of renewing your current lease, you can get in touch with us today to discuss your requirements. We know which serviced office can fit your needs, so we save you time and effort on research. We also arrange visits and handle the negotiation for you. This service is free of charge for our clients. You can also see coworking space in Central and serviced offices in Central for current options. Bastien Cuny
