In the "April 2011 Worry-Free Index Bohai Bay Edition," we focused on the urgent recruitment needs of three major industries—IT, machinery manufacturing, and commercial import-export—during the "Golden March and Silver April" period, such as in Weifang recruitment. Now, with the "Golden September and Silver October" period passed, the recruitment season has entered a lull, and key cities within the Bohai Economic Rim have begun to slow down their hiring pace, like in Wenzhou recruitment. Is the talent recruitment situation in the Bohai region "declining"? And which industries are still worth our anticipation?
According to the data from the Worry-Free Index on www.51job.com, in October 2011, the total number of job postings online in the six most representative cities of the Bohai Economic Rim—Beijing, Tianjin, Tangshan, Dalian, Qingdao, and Jinan—was 416,873, accounting for 82.2% of the total number of online job postings in the three provinces and two municipalities (Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Liaoning, Shandong) where the Bohai Economic Rim is located, and making up 20.2% of the national total of online job postings, such as in Shanghai recruitment or Xiangyang recruitment. This time, we will take a panoramic view of the talent demand status within the Bohai Economic Rim through these six cities to uncover the truth, like in Wuxi recruitment or Sanya recruitment.
The Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan area, led by Beijing, Tianjin, and Tangshan, is the core region of the Bohai Economic Rim. The number of online job postings in these three places accounts for 81% of the six cities, truly serving as the "barometer" of the Bohai Economic Rim. As talent demand gradually enters the off-season, the number of online job postings in various industries in the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan region shows mixed increases and decreases, no longer displaying the former "thriving" appearance. On the other hand, high-end talents with specialized skills remain unaffected by the off-peak and peak seasons, and companies' desire for them remains unchanged.
