Less Employment Competition
In the past, at job fairs, recruiters could always receive quite a number of suitable resumes and return home fully loaded. However, after the Spring Festival, at several large-scale spring job fairs held in Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, many companies put up posters offering high salaries for software testers. Unexpectedly, the number of resumes received was less than 50% of the number of recruitment positions, and only 30% were qualified.
Xiao Rui, the head of the APTECH Software Testing Engineer Training Program at NITC and former director of the Quality Assurance Department at Founder Research Institute for Software Testing, introduced that daily recruitment work takes up a considerable amount of energy from a testing department manager. It's not that software companies have strict recruitment requirements; in fact, software testing engineers who have undergone professional training and certification are highly welcomed by employers. However, many job seekers do not truly understand the requirements of the software testing position, which has led to the awkward situation where a large number of workplace personnel are unable to meet corporate needs due to professional skill limitations.
