Reading tips
Right now is the golden season for spring recruitment, but sudden outbreaks have interrupted offline on-site recruitment, and corporate recruitment demand has decreased. With the epidemic situation changing and employment policies intensifying, job seekers and companies seek breakthroughs through "cloud recruitment", and the recruitment market is showing signs of recovery.
Since March, Song Weiwei has insisted on reposting the "Koi Picture" on social platforms every day and leaving a message: "Spring recruit is too difficult. Now I just ask for an offer."
Right now is the golden season for spring recruiting, but the sudden outbreak has made this year's spring recruiting unusual. In order to avoid the gathering of people, the suspension of offline on-site recruitment activities and the scale of college graduates have reached a new high, which has made some job seekers at home feel a little anxious.
With the change of the epidemic situation, a recent interview with reporters found that the recruitment market has shown signs of recovery, and many employers have moved recruitment online. Job seekers are using “cloud recruitment” and other methods to search for suitable positions, introduce themselves, and strive to break through in this special job search season.
Difficulties in employment but rush to work
Song Weiwei is a senior in accounting in a university in Hangzhou. While at home, searching for recruitment information, changing resumes, applying online, and submitting resumes became her daily routine.
When asked if she had any difficulty finding a job during the epidemic, Song Weiwei did not answer, but sent a screenshot of an email to the reporter. The email was from a well-known software company. "Sorry, this year's recruiting drawdown for new students, our admissions should be postponed to early May. We will contact you again in early May, please continue to follow our admissions process, goodbye."
"This is the difficulty." Song Weiwei said helplessly. However, after submitting more than a dozen resumes, in the past two days, Song Weiwei felt some changes, and she received some interview notices one after another. "Come on, there will always be work."
In order to do a good job of graduate employment, many places in the epidemic have increased the promotion of online job fairs. Since February 26, Beijing has successively held 37 online elections for college graduates. At the same time, the two-month spring online recruitment month for Beijing graduates has also started on March 1.
After watching a few online dual elections, Fang Xin, a fresh graduate student of Capital University of Economics and Business, chose to wait and see. Fang Xin, who already has a state-owned enterprise offer, feels that although there are many recruitment companies and positions, his ideal enterprise and position have not yet appeared. "It's better to invest your energy in writing a thesis first. After the epidemic is over, there may be better opportunities."
Interviews by reporters found that although the spring recruitment was not affected by the epidemic, many graduates believe that the difficulties are temporary. There should be a wave of employment opportunities after the epidemic, and it is useless to be anxious now.
It's a test but an opportunity
Under the epidemic situation, some companies negotiated with their employees to reduce wages or even lay off employees as a result of operating pressure, and some companies "retrograde" in the job market to recruit talent.
Ji Bing, CEO of Shandong Blue Valley Human Resources Company, told reporters that since the outbreak, instead of reducing wages and layoffs, the company has expanded its recruitment scale and considered raising salaries for its employees. "When the epidemic happened, it happened to catch up with the Spring Festival, and some people stayed at home, which brought opportunities for local talents. In the past, many places have tried everything for 'inducing the phoenix to return to their nests', and now they can just develop a batch of local employment nearby Jobs and attract talents to stay in their hometowns. "
With this in mind, Ji Bing released job information after resuming work, and interviewed several job seekers with "Cloud". As the head of a flexible employment service company, Ji Bing estimates that the business volume in the first quarter will be reduced by about 30%, but he is confident that it will return to normal in the second quarter. "The difficulties are temporary."
Since the resumption of work for one month, Li Qiang, an executive vice president of a recruitment company, found through monitoring that although there is still a gap between the number of corporate recruitment positions and the number of job applicants' resumes, the gap is gradually narrowing.
"Although the demand for corporate recruitment has not recovered to the level of the same period last year, the demand for some industries and positions has increased significantly." Li Qiang said that at present, the manufacturing industry has grown, flexible office and remote office are gradually emerging, data analysis, mechanics, and clothing production The number of hiring posts and other posts has increased significantly from the previous quarter, and the demand for posts has grown significantly.
"The current stage is still in the recovery period of the recruitment market and is climbing towards the peak of recruitment." Li Qiang predicts that the changes in the talent market in the next few weeks will still be a steady rebound.
Multiple measures to protect employment
The outbreak of the epidemic situation inevitably brought about a decline in market recruitment demand, and many people were blocked from seeking employment. In response, the employment department quickly launched a series of measures to ensure the employment of key groups such as college graduates and migrant workers.
In order to help graduates get employed as soon as possible, the reporter learned that the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Affairs will broaden employment channels, encourage enterprises to absorb a batch, support entrepreneurship to drive a batch, and coordinate the recruitment examinations of institutions and institutions to provide sufficient employment opportunities.
"We will increase online recruitment efforts, launch" e-travelers, level you come "online recruitment activities, organize career coaches to open employment guidance" cloud classroom ", plan early, and once the epidemic is resolved, quickly organize and mobilize public employment Service agencies are launching intensive and specialized on-site recruitment. ”According to You Jun, deputy minister of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Affairs, one million graduate trainees will be organized this year and next, and those who will open trainee positions to enterprises will be given 3 to 12 months. Policy subsidies.
In order to ensure employment, multiple departments have also opened a "point-to-point" employment docking information platform for migrant workers, supporting various companies to report their employees' return requirements online, and to achieve timely docking of information at the input and output locations. A special column is set up to dynamically update the situation of resumption of work in the enterprise to help workers grasp the return information in a timely manner.
