In contrast to the practice of "open pricing" for almost every position in the post-holiday labor market, there are few instances where salary packages are clearly marked in talent recruitment. However, through interviews with reporters, it was found that salary treatment remains a crucial consideration for many job seekers. Many job seekers, when faced with unfamiliar companies such as Jiangsu Talent Recruitment Network, often inquire about salaries first. On the other hand, for larger-scale and more influential enterprises, they tend to ask more about various benefits and personal career advancement opportunities. After years of market adaptation, college graduates have mostly lowered their expectations, and their desired salary packages generally fall within a reasonable range. Moreover, an increasing number of them are willing to start from grassroots positions to gain knowledge and experience.
The Spring Talent Exchange Conference has traditionally been the first activity in our city's talent services, an effective measure to promote the aggregation of basic talents, and also an important part of attracting Jiaxing-native college graduates to return home for employment. This event offers over ten thousand positions, with around forty percent targeted at recent graduates. In terms of required majors, the top ten professional fields include marketing, management, secretarial work, machinery, computer science, engineering technology, construction real estate, finance accounting, teaching categories, and chemical chemistry, accounting for 58% of the total demand. Skilled service talents, spread across various professional fields such as machinery, textiles, clothing, and materials, remain the most sought-after positions by enterprises, with a total demand of over 3100 positions.
To better provide a platform for enterprises to "recruit talents and intelligence" and for talents to "choose employment", the human resources and social security department specially created a recruitment announcement right after the New Year's Day, posted in various streets and communities, and released the information of this job fair in relevant universities and media within the province and the city. During the exchange conference, public welfare services were further highlighted with multiple free measures, including free entry for job seekers, free distribution of information materials on-site, and free distribution of job application registration forms, to alleviate the economic burden on job seekers. The employers showed great enthusiasm and anticipation for this job fair. Within half a month after the New Year's Day, all the recruitment seats for the entire exchange conference were booked out. Yesterday's job seeker turnout also reassured many employers, with long queues forming in front of many employers' booths, and a batch of job application information harvested early. At some recruitment booths, people came one after another, and the staff were busy connecting with job seekers, leaving no time for interviews with reporters.
From the overall recruitment activities of the day, positions requiring associate degree or above accounted for 34.5% of the total, among which there were 16 high-level education (master's degree or above) talents needed. Compared to previous years, enterprises have lowered their requirements for educational qualifications, placing more emphasis on the reserve of basic talents. Talents with vocational school education or above and specialized skills are the most popular. High-level education talents demanding enterprises are almost all concentrated in engineering technology positions. Compared to previous years, employers recruiting hundreds of people at once have significantly decreased. In this exchange conference, only six enterprises had personnel demands exceeding 100 people, among which the enterprise with the highest demand needed over 150 people.
The two-day 2012 Spring Talent Exchange Conference kicked off yesterday at the municipal Human Resources Center Market, with the entire recruitment activity continuously presenting scenes of crowded talents. This is also the first large-scale comprehensive talent recruitment conference held in our city after the holiday. The situation where recruitment booths were hard to come by left many enterprises sighing outside the venue, while various talents entering the venue had to use all their might to carve out a path for job hunting. According to statistics from the organizer, more than 300 employers provided over ten thousand positions. A total of 152 units entered the venue for recruitment yesterday, with 11,946 job seekers entering. The enthusiastic atmosphere made the employers feel very "refreshed", with 2,992 people reaching preliminary agreements with employers on the same day.
Through interviews with reporters, it was discovered that although each position has marked educational qualification requirements, many recruiters frankly admitted that ability matters more! Mr. Yao, responsible for recruitment at a securities company, told reporters that during recruitment, they not only focus on the quantity of applicants but also place greater emphasis on the quality of applications. Moreover, in the process of utilizing talents, they value capability more than seniority or educational background. Due to the significant career advancement opportunities within the enterprise, the annual salary at the middle management level is already quite substantial, thus attracting many excellent talents. Speaking about the recruitment situation of the day, he said that overall, it was satisfactory.
