• Highlights successful localisation of Lumesse business in China

London/Shanghai - 29 March 2012: Lumesse has been named 'Best Talent Management Software Solutions Provider in Greater China 2011-2012' in the 'Best HR Service Provider Awards in Greater China' (The Awards) organised by the leading publication in the region, Human Capital Management magazine. This is the second time the award has been given, and the second time Lumesse has won it.

"As the only major talent management solutions provider to have won this award, we demonstrate yet again our promise to be the only global company making talent management work locally," said Lumesse CEO, Matthew Parker. "This is a substantial achievement - all of the major talent management vendors are actively targeting the massive China market and competition is intense. But we were there early and our team has done a great job both in building a strong business there and in creating awareness of our commitment, resources and capabilities in the region. More importantly our delivery on that promise with both local and international brands in China is what sets us apart."

The HR Service Provider Awards have been held six times since 2006. It is the largest and most authoritative awards programme in the sector in the Greater China region, aiming at promoting and encouraging the development of the human resources service industry. The Awards' criteria include the service provider's service implementation, business integrity, brand equity and sustainability. Companies must have been operating in China for no less than 24 consecutive months and maintaining healthy growth in revenue and profits to be eligible to be nominated for the awards.

"We are very proud to have been given this award in both years since it was first created," said Erik Schmit, APAC Group Managing Director of Lumesse. "Three years after Lumesse was founded in China in 2009 we are now working with many internationally leading companies from different market sectors. We have developed great experience in making talent management solutions work locally in China, as well as globally across the world."
