□ For the Dongguan government, to solve the structural shortage of labor, the top priority is to supplement the skilled personnel needed by the industry.
□ For enterprises, only by practicing their internal skills and improving their salary can solve the problem of employment fundamentally.
□ For the majority of "hitting workers", "difficulty in recruiting" does not mean "easy job hunting". If you want to get an ideal position, you need to continuously improve your skills and develop "two brushes."
"We have not encountered difficulty in recruiting. On the contrary, because the job is not easy to find, many employees have dispelled the idea of quitting." Recently, the topic of "cannot recruit people with a monthly salary of 7000 yuan" in Dongguan, Guangdong has attracted widespread attention, and reporters have "difficult to recruit When interviewing Chen Junlong, the recruiting supervisor of Guangdong Shengyi Technology Co., Ltd., a Dongguan enterprise, he answered like this.
For Dongguan, the "manufacturing city" with 180,000 industrial enterprises, employment and labor are often new topics at the beginning and end of the year.
Under the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic this year, not only did many companies experience "roller coaster" fluctuations in their orders, but it was also unclear whether it was "difficult to recruit" or "difficult to find a job."
"According to the monitoring, there is no centralized large-scale unemployment and lack of labor in Dongguan." Liu Yuefeng, director of the Dongguan Human Resources Service Center, said that since August, the total number of employees in Dongguan has remained above 5 million, which is close to the level of the same period last year. Real-name employment at the end of October Registered 5.0345 million people; in October, the fixed-point monitoring of the company’s recruitment ratio was 1.15. From the ratio of the number of job demands to the number of applicants, market supply and demand were relatively stable.
Supply and demand are generally stable, but structural employment problems do exist.
"Enterprises will always be at the forefront of the market, and the talent training mechanism will definitely lag behind the needs of industrial development. Therefore, structural shortage of labor is a worldwide problem." The person in charge of the Dongguan Municipal Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security said that the current "difficulties in recruiting" is also good news. , Which proves that orders are picking up and the economy is improving.
This confirms that Dongguan's economic growth in the first three quarters has turned from negative to positive, and the import and export growth in September reached 15.8%.
The reporter's investigation found that the difficulty of recruitment is closely related to industry differences and business conditions.
The electronic information industry where Shengyi Technology is located is one of Dongguan’s pillar industries. Chen Junlong told reporters: “As far as I know, companies in the same industry around it have not been difficult to recruit workers since the epidemic. Although the epidemic has caused a short-term decline in the demand for consumer electronics, medical and The outbreak of the 5G industry will require a large number of electronic raw materials products, so our orders have been saturated and profits have increased significantly."
However, Chen Junlong also said that Shengyi Technology's salary is at a relatively high level in the industry. The annual salary of general workers is about 80,000 yuan, and the maintenance position can reach 150,000 yuan, which has increased by 10% last month.
"In fact, there are not many companies that can raise wages this year. Industries and companies with low profits may be more likely to encounter difficulties in recruiting."
At the same time, with the vigorous development of new business formats and new models, not only has it generated new job demands, but also brought about "difficulties in recruiting" some jobs.
Since the epidemic, Mengda Group, which focuses on providing supporting services for the industrial chain, has been busy building e-commerce platforms and live broadcast bases to help small and medium-sized enterprises "collectively bring goods."
A recruiting officer from Mengda Group told reporters that the company has been dissatisfied with recruiting sales positions this year. Although the online and offline recruitment channels are very rich, it is difficult to find talents that match the job needs.
Like Mengda, many companies said that sales and live broadcast talents who are good at market development are in short supply.
How to solve the employment problem under the epidemic?
The relevant person in charge of the Dongguan Human Resources and Social Security Bureau said that since this year, the human resources and social security departments have maintained a high degree of sensitivity to changes in the labor market, built a variety of labor docking platforms, provided accurate services for companies, and went all out to help companies stabilize their employees.
According to reports, Dongguan took the lead in innovating the "shared employment" model in Guangdong, and established a "shared employment" information release platform. It has accumulated about 20,000 employees.
At the same time, intensive online and offline recruitment activities have been held. 48 "Spring Breeze Action" and different themed recruitment sessions have been held, including online job fairs for resumption of work and production, "Private Enterprise Recruitment Month", etc.; since July, multiple levels have been held There were more than 400 on-site recruitment activities on small-scale "Employment Service Day".
At the same time, the Human Resources and Social Security Department has strengthened the public employment service system, providing job seekers and enterprises with a "one-stop" employment service through the three-level employment service platform of municipalities, towns and villages, and realizing that public employment services are "on the side".
Experts believe that in recent years, Dongguan has firmly moved from a “world factory” to an “advanced manufacturing center in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area”. The current employment problems magnified by the epidemic will undoubtedly exist in the future transformation.
Regardless of the Dongguan government, enterprises, or migrant workers in this city, this year is a year of hard work.
For the Dongguan government, to solve the structural shortage of labor, the top priority is to supplement the skilled personnel needed by the industry.
The mayor of Dongguan, Xiao Yafei, said recently that Dongguan is currently deepening the construction of a "capital of skilled talents", introducing and cultivating more technical talents, striving to complete the set goal this year, and promote 1 million people to improve their skills and education.
Next, Dongguan will formulate special support policies for the order-oriented, foreign-funded enterprises and domestic channel sales talents under the new pattern of domestic and international dual-cycle development to meet the needs of the industry.
For enterprises, only by practicing their internal skills and improving their salary can they fundamentally solve the employment problems.
"Shengyi Technology has been building core technologies and increasing the degree of automation. After a round of automation transformation, the number of employees in Dongguan has dropped from more than 4,000 to more than 2,900. The reduction in employees and the increase in profits have ensured the continuous increase in salaries." Liu Yuefeng gave an example Say.
Many companies in Dongguan facing the "ceiling" of labor costs are also trying their best to enhance their attractiveness through employee care and corporate culture.
For example, Mengda Group has set up fancy paid leave systems such as "mood leave" and "health leave", which not only enhances employees' sense of belonging, but also increases the "weight" for recruiting talents.
For the majority of migrant workers, "difficulty in recruiting" does not mean "easy job hunting." If you want to get an ideal position, you need to continuously improve your skills and develop "two brushes."
"Now many young people are unwilling to do assembly line work and feel that the salary is low and indecent. However, we have provided better remuneration packages, and correspondingly also put forward higher requirements on skills and performance. Now, you must create value, In order to stay in the post." Liu Yuefeng said.
