The country's natural resources support the economy, with mining, oil and gas and FMCG creating the majority of export wealth. China holds significant interest in the country, and accounts for 54% of the total export market. As the continent's leading human capital consultancy, Global Career Company has been working in DR Congo with multinational and regional brands to complete succession planning, EVP promotion, staffing and job posting, as well as offering invaluable advice services including employee engagement surveys, leadership development and capacity building support through our GCC Advisory initiative.
