Many large employers are facing "difficulties in recruiting", and they will be rewarded with cash rewards when they introduce new recruits-to
directly hit the changes in recruitment in the job market
"Introduce 1 person, the highest reward is 2600 yuan" "Introduce 100 people, earn 260,000 yuan".
Not long ago, many rural roadside wall advertisements about "recruitment" were circulated on social media.
With the opening of this year's production curtain, March has become a hot period for recruitment.
From roadside "pull people" advertisements to long queues of laborers in the labor market, various signs not only reflect the unabated enthusiasm for recruitment this year, but also show the changes in the supply and demand ends of the labor market in recent years.
Where are the recruitment and employment changes?
How do all parties respond?
The reporter interviewed the relevant persons in charge and employees of some provincial and municipal human resources and social departments and enterprises.
"A good start" hits recruitment difficulties
In addition to the attractive rewards, there is a line of small characters "Galanz Recruitment Welfare" under the above-mentioned rural wall advertisement.
It is understood that Galanz has specially produced such advertisements in the main source areas of front-line employees such as Guigang, Yulin, Wuzhou and Qinzhou in Guangxi, in order to make the recruitment information reach the local areas more accurately.
Behind the eager recruitment is the surge in labor demand from companies.
You Limin, director of the planning department of Galanz, told our reporter that since last year, the company has increased its capital and production by a large margin, and the talent gap has also widened.
Last year, the company recruited more than 10,000 employees, including fresh college students, technicians, and R&D personnel; before and after the Spring Festival, the company recruited first-line production personnel from the society again, "there is still a gap of tens of thousands."
Today, in Galanz, about 150,000 microwave ovens are produced every day.
"Since the epidemic last year, the domestic and international markets have been increasing consumer demand for healthy home appliances and home products, and demand for new products has also continued to increase." You Limin said that in the first quarter of this year, the company's foreign trade orders were already full and mature. Orders are scheduled for the second half of the year or even after the third quarter.
Recruitment must quickly keep up.
At the end of February, about 1,000 new employees entered the company every day.
"The sooner the better, registration, interview, training, and entry as soon as you pass." But You Limin also said with emotion, "It's really not easy to recruit mature technicians."
During the interview, the reporter learned that the introduction of new recruits immediately gives cash rewards, and this practice is common in many large employers.
"Difficulty in recruiting" is the common feeling of many business leaders.
"Recruitment is indeed much harder than before." Since the Spring Festival, Wei Xiaoyan, the person in charge of Sunshine Zhongke (Fujian) Energy Co., Ltd. has almost never stopped, and one after another recruitment information has been swiped on her circle of friends. .
Like many companies, Sunshine’s newly opened production line is "waiting for someone to start".
"When workers arrive one day earlier, the production line can start a day earlier, and orders can be delivered a day earlier."
From home appliance manufacturing to new energy, from export industries to emerging industries, many companies ushered in a "good start" for orders in the New Year, but the problem of recruitment difficulties has become more prominent.
The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security released the national recruitment rankings for the fourth quarter of 2020, showing that among the 100 “most job shortage” occupations, 36 are “manufacturing and related personnel”; among the 34 occupations with increasing shortages , There are 16 occupations directly related to manufacturing, and the demand for manufacturing talents will continue to maintain a strong momentum.
From "the boss picks the employee" to "the employee picks the boss"
"Recently, I have seen many people come to the company every morning to report to the company. There are dozens of people in one branch factory, and there may be more in other factories." Zhou Yan has been working in a manufacturing company in Dongguan, Guangdong Province for nearly 10 years and has witnessed the recent The company's hot recruitment has also witnessed the local "people coming and going" over the years.
In her opinion, the changes in recruitment over the years are quite obvious: "In the past, companies recruited two or three people out of 10, and they wanted the best. You can have interviews based on academic qualifications, communication and expression skills. There are several levels. Now, as long as it is a qualified labor force.” There are also business executives who said that in many coastal cities, employees “no matter when they return to work, they don’t have to worry about finding a job” after the Chinese New Year.
From "boss picks employees" to "employees picks the boss", this intuitive feeling reflects the tilt of the balance between supply and demand in the labor market.
Zhou Yan's company has grown from 5,000 or 6,000 employees 10 years ago to more than 10,000 now. The company has expanded to have 3 branch factories, and now the fourth factory is under construction.
"The momentum of the company's development is still good, I have always been hiring people in the impression." Zhou Yan said.
Enterprises continue to grow and develop, which immediately brings about the expansion of labor demand, which is the development trajectory of many manufacturing companies.
But in recent years, significant changes have taken place on the labor supply side.
Looking at the total amount, in 2012, China's working-age population dropped for the first time in absolute numbers in a long time.
Many experts reminded that the pattern of China's population and labor supply has gradually changed, and the "unlimited supply" of labor has become a thing of the past.
Looking at the regional comparison, the difference is shrinking.
"In terms of income, regional differences are not too big now, and you can get similar wages locally, and the willingness to go to work is not as good as in the past." Chen Xiaoquan, director of the human resources department of Guangdong Changhong Electronics Co., Ltd., has feelings about the recruitment situation in recent years. .
This year, Changhong made early preparations, stabilized jobs during the Spring Festival, coupled with the help of the local human and social department and long-term school-enterprise cooperation with surrounding vocational colleges, the current employment situation is good.
However, in the eyes of enterprises, the reality that the supply of labor in the market has been declining year by year and the cost of recruitment has continued to increase cannot be ignored.
"Now the economy in the central and western regions has also developed. Many places have been able to get rid of poverty through industrial development and have more local employment opportunities. In addition, there is more room for self-employment and young people have more choices for employment and it is easy to feed themselves." Wei Xiaoyan said.
Looking at the crowd, the new generation of workers is also different.
"Post-95" and "Post-00" workers show different characteristics, they pay more attention to the living environment and self-development." Chen Xiaoquan said, now, the proportion of young workers in Changhong has reached more than 40%, and it is increasing year by year. the trend of.
You Limin said that the age structure of Galanz's front-line employees has become younger, and the "post-90s" and "post-00s" have become the main force.
"No matter which circle they live in, their demands for a happy life and happy work are more prominent, they have stronger requirements for work and life balance, and they desire a more equal and respectful working environment and better treatment."
Some people in charge of the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau bluntly said: "Post-90s" have become the main force of the labor force. Compared with "post-80s" and "post-70s", they are more reluctant to work in the workshop. The problem of "difficulties in recruiting workers" in the manufacturing industry has become more prominent.
"Fancy" initiative to recruit talents
Nowadays, selecting talents and employing labor has become an increasingly prominent examination question for enterprises.
On February 20, just two days after the Spring Festival, the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau of Zhongshan City, Guangdong sent a working group to Zhaoqing, Henan, Guangxi, Sichuan, Hubei, Guizhou, Yunnan and other major labor export locations in and out of the province to recruit people. The job of recruiting talents.
"It's the first time for such a large-scale grouping out in history." Zheng Haisheng, deputy director of the Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security of Zhongshan City, led the team to Guizhou.
This time out, in addition to returning old employees, they are also committed to recruiting new employees and opening up labor markets in new regions.
Not only the staff in the bureau, but also the heads of key enterprises and human resources organizations also went there.
Speaking of the reasons behind, Zheng Haisheng explained that there are more export-oriented enterprises in Zhongshan City. Many enterprises have received strong orders this year, and the demand for general workers and skilled workers is greater than in previous years.
The new measures of work are exactly what is needed to adapt to the situation.
In fact, from enterprises to local human resources and social departments, in recent years, recruitment and employment related work has also been continuously adjusted.
"When I went to Guizhou this time, the locals generally reported that the monthly salary was more than 4,500 yuan before they were willing to come." Zheng Haisheng learned.
According to reports, the current average salary of general workers in Zhongshan City is about 4,500 yuan, and the average salary of skilled workers is over 5,500 yuan. After the Spring Festival this year, local salaries have generally increased by 10%.
At present, there are 100,000 new migrant workers who have come to Zhongshan.
Remuneration package is the "threshold", and the supporting benefits cannot be dropped.
Nowadays, many factory parks are no longer simply the configuration of workshops, dormitories, and canteens, and many large companies are striving to improve the "soft environment."
"There are sports fields, gyms, libraries, cafes, and cinemas in our park; beautiful factories are also built in the workshops, and there are adopters for flowers and plants." "Hot water, air conditioning, TV, internet, and laundry are necessary in the dormitory. , The living area also has a football field, basketball court, gymnasium, reading room, etc., and it also arranges team building every month." Some business leaders said.
Zhou Yan also saw this change.
"The conditions are indeed improving. Otherwise, if someone came to take a look, you don't have the ones from other factories, so naturally you don't want to come."
On the one hand, it is raising salaries, improving the production and living environment, and recruiting talents; on the other hand, it is the enterprise's intensive transformation and upgrading, automation and intelligence upgrading.
"As the phenomenon of difficulty in recruitment becomes more and more prominent, companies will also pay higher costs for recruiting talents. In addition to the government's policy support for stabilizing jobs, companies themselves also need to rely on internal process optimization and intelligent enhancement to continuously enhance their competitiveness. "Chen Xiaoquan said.
In recent years, "machine substitution" has been gradually promoted in the manufacturing industry, but while saving human resources, it also places higher requirements on the level of operation of workers. In addition, some types of work cannot be replaced by machines.
"Basically, a large number of employees are still needed. Simple and repetitive dangerous jobs will gradually be replaced by robots. However, with the advancement of Industry 4.0 bases and intelligent manufacturing, the requirements for man-machine cooperation will be higher, and more skills will be required. Operators.” You Limin said that in the future, there will be a continuous and stable talent team, which requires independent training by enterprises and the cooperation and support of professional colleges and universities.
