The leadership read
A change at the top rarely stays at the top. The PuLi Group's move reshapes the layer beneath it in the sector as a new leader sets priorities and the team re-forms. Watch the first two or three appointments that follow; they signal direction more reliably than any statement.
Market context: MitchelLake's Talent Market Index sits at 104.6 (Hot), down 1.9 on the prior month; Asia hiring signal is running steady (-1pts).
The PuLi Group: 1 signal in the last 90 days; 0.1% of MitchelLake's Asia signal flow.
