​Pousung Vietnam Co., Ltd. regularly recruits workers at the company

Increase recruitment of unskilled workers

As one of the large-scale production enterprises in Long Thanh, Topband Vietnam Co., Ltd. (specializing in the production of electronic products) is also recruiting over 1,000 unskilled workers. A representative of the company's human resources department said that although the company has only been in operation for more than a year, it is attracting more than 500 skilled workers. It is expected that in the next month, the company will continue to complete new production workshops, so at the beginning of the year, recruiting labor becomes urgent to have resources ready to start working immediately. The company has posted job opportunities on websites with many incentives and benefits, but the number of current employees coming for interviews is very limited compared to the demand.

Meanwhile, in Nhon Trach District, many businesses have arranged human resources to stand at the company gates or at the corners of the roads to Industrial Zones to recruit employees. The atmosphere of recruitment here is quite bustling these days. However, enterprises said that they can only recruit a few dozen workers per day, so it is difficult to meet the demand as well as the production plan from the beginning of the year. Specifically, Hwaseung Vina Co., Ltd. employs 2,000 workers, Eclat Vietnam Textile and Garment Co., Ltd. recruits unlimited unskilled workers. Almost all enterprises offer support policies such as fuel, transportation, housing, attendance and monthly bonuses, etc. so that employees can trust and start working.

In Long Khanh City, many businesses are recruiting workers right from the beginning of the year. Specifically, Cibao Co., Ltd. has a need to recruit more than 1,000 workers with an income of VND7 million per person per month and VND3.5 million in bonus for accepting jobs; Pro Well Co., Ltd. employs 2,000 production workers with an income of VND6.5-10 million per person per month and many other benefits. A representative of Cibao Co., Ltd. said that recruiting at the beginning of the year was still quite difficult because workers went to their hometown to celebrate Tet and had not returned to work. The company's Human Resources Department has both recruited directly at the company and posted information online for employees to know, come for job interviews.

In the past few days, to meet the needs of production expansion, Taekwang Vina Industrial Joint Stock Company (Bien Hoa City) has been recruiting more than 5,000 new workers, requiring only basic reading and writing skills with an average income of VND7.5 million per person per month. In order to recruit workers, the company offers many attractive incentives such as: bonus for new workers, VND7.2 million; reward people who introduce their relatives to work at the rate of VND4 million per person. For workers in remote provinces, the company also supports accommodation for the first 6 months. In addition, the company also commits that when workers come to work, they will enjoy many welfare and benefits such as Tet bonus, support the bus tickets to their hometown for the Tet Holiday, bonus for Tet Holidays of the year, breakfast support and taking care their children in the company's nursery.
