Supporting every step of your private credit recruitment journey
China has become a significant growth market for private credit across Asia. The country combines large state-linked institutions, expanding private lenders, and a rising interest in alternative credit strategies. Selby Jennings works within this environment, giving us access to talent that understands Chinese regulation, local credit behaviour, and cross-border lending patterns. This makes China a practical base for firms that need people who can handle complex transactions and operate in a fast-changing market.
Diverse pool of private credit talent
China draws professionals with experience in private credit, direct lending, and debt across domestic and international markets. Many have worked on non bank investments and regional transactions, giving them a wider view of structured lending and risk. This range allows us to introduce candidates who meet technical standards and fit naturally with your organisation’s working style.
Specialised knowledge in private credit lending
Private credit in China calls for people who understand the needs of small and medium businesses, direct lending structures, and local regulatory and risk frameworks. We work with candidates who can conduct detailed assessments, structure deals for domestic and cross border markets, and manage portfolios with discipline. You gain access to individuals who add practical skill and informed thinking from day one.
Personalised private credit recruitment
We build each search around your hiring priorities. Our work spans direct lending, mezzanine financing, distressed debt, and structured credit. We consider cultural fit, long-term contribution, and the operational needs of teams working in China. This helps you build stable groups that can adapt as market conditions shift.
Long-term partnerships
Our support continues after the hire. We provide insight on compensation trends, diversity planning, and changes in the Chinese credit market. As your organisation grows, we stay involved, helping you add capability, identify future leaders, and respond to new talent demands. This ongoing partnership strengthens your ability to build and maintain strong private credit teams in China.
