China's jobless have best chance in Q4

By Lu Hong (China Daily Shanghai Bureau)

The tide may be turning for Chinese who have been unemployed due to the global economic crisis as China plans to do more hiring this quarter than other country in the region, according to the latest study released by Hudson Asia in Shanghai.

The report from the international human resources firm said that 39 percent of respondents forecast a hiring increase in Q4, up from 27 percent in the last quarter. The data is based on interviews with over 650 executives from key industries in Shanghai and Beijing. It surpasses expectations for Hong Kong and Singapore.

"Employers in every sector forecast a headcount growth this quarter, showing a strong sign of recovery," said Mark Carriban, managing director of Hudson Asia.

Meanwhile, over half of respondents, or 56 percent, of the study said they will maintain a steady workforce over the coming months. Five percent plan on reducing their staff in Q4, compared to 12 percent who did so in the previous three months.

This all spells good news for those who have been jobless for a while: they are the most desirable hires for employers now, said the report.

Getting back on the market may prove tougher for people who have been out of work longer. Only 23 percent of employers said they will hire candidates in this category; 58 percent were non-committal.

Chinese with a specialized skill set and extensive experience have the best chance of landing a job regardless of when they last worked.

With the exception of the consumer sector, the majority of respondents said they have difficulty recruiting enough suitably qualified local candidates to fill senior positions. In such cases, companies are forced to look to foreigners, particularly in the banking and financial sectors, said Carriban.

"In recent years, the sector has put a lot of effort and money into introducing new products and services from abroad," he said. "Because these products and services are brand new in China's market, it's quite difficult to find specialists locally."

The banking and financial sectors, and consumer and IT industries, are expected to see the biggest hiring surge.

Meanwhile, respondents across the board ranked talent development, improving employee staff retention and organizational development as their top human resources priorities for next year.

根据上海Hudson(亚洲)公司最新公布的研究显示,全球经济危机影响中国失业率的情况开始转变,中国计划在于本季度增加雇员并且数量超过周边国家。国际人力资源公司对上海和北京重点行业的650多家企业进行了采访,并报道这些接受调查的人群中友39%都预测本季度雇员人数会比上季度同比增长27%。这个数据超过了香港和新加坡的期望值。 Hudson(亚洲)常务董事Mark Carriban说,“各个行业的雇主都预计本季度会增加雇员,显现出强有力的经济回暖现象。” 同时,超过半数(或56%)的企业表示他们不会继续雇新员工。与12%的企业在前3个季度裁员相比,本季度有5%的企业表示将继续裁员。该报道还提到这些消息对于暂时失业的人们来说无疑是一个好消息:他们正是最适合这些雇主的人。但是对于长期失业的人来说重回职场很难。数据表明仅有23%的雇主表示他们会雇佣此类员工,而58%的雇主则没有表态。中国拥有专业的技术设施和丰富的经验,能为广大人群提供良好的工作平台。(这句感觉好像打广告...有待修改) Carriban说,“除了销售行业,大多数企业都认为现在很难雇到合适又高质量的当地员工来当任公司主要工作。有时候,一些公司不得不雇外国人,特别是银行和金融行业的外国人。最近几年各个行业投入大量人力物力从海外引进新型产品和服务,因为这些产品和服务对中国市场来说还太陌生,所以很难再本国雇一个合适的专家。” 目前,银行和金融业、销售和IT业被认为是增加雇员最多的行业。另外,所有企业都将开发人才、提升员工记忆力和组织能力作为明年首要招聘要求。
