East China’s Jiangsu province launched a talent hunting campaign in Shanghai to lure top-notch professionals by unveiling a slew of preferential policies.
246 enterprises and public institutions from Jiangsu showed up a talent-recruiting fair in Shanghai to offer 3308 job vacancies and 10201 potential jobs.
The demand for applicants with graduate degrees and above made up more than half of the talent quest.
The posts of college teachers are much sought after by the job seekers as many doctoral students with Fudan University and Shanghai Jiaotong University were seen making inquiries at the recruitment booths of leading universities from Jiangsu.
The sustained development of the economy in Jiangsu, as is evidenced by the progress of hundreds of infrastructure projects, has created more employment opportunities, attracting college graduates from all over the country.
Chen Wang, a graduate student with Guangxi University, comes from Yancheng city. He flew back home for the recruitment as he was keenly interested in doing his bit for the high-speed railway construction in his hometown.
Jiangsu has unveiled a slew of preferential policies for the recruitment of top-notch professionals. The annual starting salary for undergraduates varies from 70,000 yuan to 150,000 yuan. That for master’s degree holders is within the range of 100,000 yuan and 200,0000 yuan. For job seekers with doctoral degrees, the starting salary varies from 150,000 yuan to 250,000 yuan with 600,000 yuan offered in some extreme cases. Public institutions and research institutes have offered flexible salary policies for the job seekers.
More than 4000 job seekers attended the recruitment fair with 90% of them holding master’s degree and above. 358 of them reached preliminary employment intention and 23 signed the employment contract on the spot. In the meantime, 60 talent-savvy technological projects were signed at the Jiangsu-Shanghai Talent Exchange and Cooperation Fair.
