On the last days of the year, labor market in Binh Duong province continues to prosper. Many enterprises recruit urgently a large number of labors, notably unskilled workers, and offer attractive policies, incentives.

Companies conducted interviews with labors at the 81st Job transaction session.The increasing demandAccording to Binh Duong Job Introducing Center, recruitment need on year-end’s days is increasing. The recent 81st job transaction session drew participation of 104 enterprises with 6,434 needs of labor. Some fields having high personnel demand are: transportation, mechanics, wood, construction, office, insurance, electronics, telecommunications, garment, footwear, home appliance, bodyguard, plastic, ceramics, kitchen utensil, food processing, real estate, education, and some other services. Experts forecasted that recruitment demand will continue to increase on Christmas time, in New Year, and Lunar New Year. According to Mr. Nguyen Thanh Phuong, Job Introducing Office’s Manager of BD Job Introducing Center, the recruitment demand of business is rising. Some companies have large demand of part-time labors, seasonal labors to work at supermarkets, shops, event organizing companies etc. To ensure the labor supply, BD Job Introducing Center continues to open job transaction sessions and publish widely job announcements of enterprises so that labors can be updated and find suitable jobs.Lowering standards, raising incentivesAccording to surveys conducted at enterprises having recruitment need, many companies have “break” recruitment standards to recruit enough labors to satisfy manufacture need in the next Lunar New Year. Job requirements and incentives are described more precisely and professionally. Particularly, some companies even lower their requirements to recruit more labors.Previously, many companies required that employed labors have to be skillful, finish 9th-grade level. But now these requirements are no longer valid. Trung Dung – T&D International Company at Thuan Giao ward, Thuan An town is an example. The company defined accurate wage accompanied with pensions of lodging, attendance, lunch and dinner. To attract more labors, some companies have offered detailed incentives, wage, working conditions in order for labors to consider and make appropriate job decisions. For instance, companies also accept labors having no experiences and then give more training, or apprentices still have their pay and pensions of lunch, uniform etc.“At the present, our company wants to recruit a large number of unskilled labors. Although we have posted job announcements on media, and joined job transaction sessions, we have not had enough labors yet”, said a representative of Mien Dong Company.At the year-end, enterprises are increasing manufacture to fulfill their business contracts. Some fields need labors to serve high demands on Tet holidays. Therefore, there are real needs of labor on these days. To employees having stable jobs, they want to stick with their jobs to enjoy incentives offered by employers on next big holidays. Thus, employees do not want to switch their jobs during this time. Thanks to attractive recruitment at the present, it is a chance for unemployed labors to have appropriate professions. Reported by T.Vy – Translated by Ngoc Huynh
