These months, the HR department of FuKang Technology Company Limited in Quang Chau industrial park (IP) has attended almost all of the job transaction sessions, job festivals or online transaction platforms organised by Bac Ninh Employment Service Center No 1 to seek for workers.

The officers of Bac Ninh Employment Service Center No 1 assist workers to attend interviews during an online job transaction.

Besides, the company applied information technology in online recruitment, directly telephoned workers and used social networks to communicate their recruitment policies.

It also cooperated with job service centers in the provinces and cities with abundant labour resources and came directly to the localities to recruit workers. In addition, the company called on their employees to introduce their relatives and friends to apply for jobs.

“The company creates stable jobs for over 10,000 workers now and we need to recruit 2,000 more labourers, mainly unskilled workers”, said Dang Thi Thuong, an officer of the company recruitment department.

Similarly, Dreamtech Vietnam Company Limited in VSIP IP is also looking to recruit 1,000 general workers. This company registered to employ about 800 workers each month until the end of this year to meet the production requirements of its new products.

(Bac Giang) in Van Trung IP (10,500 workers), Foxconn Technology Group in Quang Chau IP (10,000 workers); and Luxshare-ICT Co., Ltd (Van Trung) in Van Trung IP (3,000 workers).

Although Bac Ninh province has a young labour force of around 1.9 million working aged people after the merger, it requires synchronous measures from all level-government, authorities and localities to ensure labour supply and demand balance especially when many enterprises have big demand for workers of the same industries.

The Department of Home Affairs, the state management agency in this field, is focusing on implementing communication strategies and disseminating information about businesses’ recruitment needs to the localities. This agency also continues to expand on-site collaborative training models based on specific employers’ demands.

At the same time, it has directed Bac Ninh Employment Service Centers No 1 and No 2 to actively apply information technology and promote digital transformation to innovate labour supply–demand matching activities, ensuring accuracy and alignment with the actual needs of all parties.

The centers are also instructed to strengthen the organization of online job transactions and mobile job fairs in the provinces with abundant labour forces

According to Tran Van Ha, Vice Director of the Department of Home Affairs, the sustainable solution for businesses to attract and retain a stable workforce lies in implementing appropriate recruitment policies and offering better welfare for workers.

Particularly, it is advisable to loosen recruitment criteria especially age requirements. Besides, enterprises need to give commitments and properly perform recruitment policies that ensure rights and benefits of workers.
