Nearly 53% of firms seek to increase staff

ALMOST 53 percent of employers on China’s mainland said they are going to recruit more staff over the next six months, up from the same period of last year, spurred by demand in the financial and technology sectors, recruitment firm Hudson said in a survey yesterday.

The survey, which covered over 1,600 employers and employees, found that 52.9 percent of the firms intend to grow their permanent headcount over the next six months, up from 49.3 percent in the same period of last year, Hudson said.

The banking and financial services sector led the job hiring intention, with 70 percent saying they will hire more, followed by 62 percent for the information technology firms.

“It seems activity in the job market remains well despite the slowdown in the Chinese economy,” said Lili Bi, general manager of Hudson Shanghai. “China is developing the financial industry ... rapid growth is leading banks to hire more staff in internal risk control and analysis positions.”

The survey also found that 65 percent of employees said they were considering or looking for a new job.
