Vu Quang Thanh, deputy director of the Hanoi Employment Service Center, said that in the last two weeks, the recruitment needs of businesses have begun to increase again. By the end of April, there were more than 1,000 enterprises registering to find jobs via job exchanges, only about 20% lower than the end of 2019.

“This was the period when the Covid-19 epidemic was under control. Enterprises focus on restoring production and dealing with backlog of orders, so human resources are needed. After the epidemic, employers are also less strict than before, if previously they often required candidates to have experience, now they no longer put this issue seriously. They recruit and support training candidates so that workers can soon adapt to the job", Mr. Thanh said.

Labour demand is high for business development, marketing and technical jobs in e-commerce.

Although the supply of human resources for e-commerce is still scarce because it is a relatively new industry in Vietnam, businesses are giving priority to recruiting candidates who have experience in the industry and are paying high salaries to attract talent.

The salary range for candidates in the industry tends to be higher than traditional businesses and will remain that way for the next three to five years. Vietnamese candidates are also being given more priority because of language and work culture.

In the coming time, there will be many new investors in the Vietnamese market, which will increase recruitment demand in the e-commerce field.

Other industries such as energy, IT, and manufacturing had high recruitment demand for mid- and high-level personnel in the first quarter.

Demand for mid- and high-level jobs in Japanese enterprises in Vietnam was stable. However, some Japanese candidates have had to wait longer for visas and work permits, so their first work day may be delayed.

As a result, some Japanese enterprises have considered expanding opportunities for Vietnamese candidates for managerial positions, according to Vietnam News.

Nguyen Phuong Mai, managing director of Navigos Search, said: “The unexpected impact of the COVID-19 pandemic globally has become a difficult problem for businesses to maintain their human resources and operations activities.”

"However, once the pandemic is controlled, recruitment demand will thrive because businesses will need human resources to revive production and business activities,” he added.
