Find Trustworthy Employees in China - TeamedUp China

How to Find Trustworthy Employees in China to Grow Your Business

Beau Parrish / 2024-05-25

Today we’re looking at ways to help with and organize hiring reliable, trustworthy employees in China! Sure, a lot of candidates look great on paper – so our main goal here is to find out if they can, in actuality, perform reliably and make a positive contribution to the company. Our team here has helped loads of companies hire in China for nearly a decade now, so I’m going to bend the ear of some our our most senior recruiting pros for some experience-based insights. If interested, check out the past insights we pulled from our recruiting team regarding Resumes in China and Cover Letters in China. Make no mistake, China is full of world-class talent across most every job function out there – the tricky part can sometimes just be identifying these true talents. Here are some of the main tips we’ve found most useful at doing so. Use Reliable Hiring Platforms & Sources When hiring in China, it’s important to start from legitimate places. There are a huge number of job sites similar to that of Indeed or Monster, but not all of them are created equal. Furthermore, most of the big global job sites are not available or not widely used – including the likes of HR behemoths like LinkedIn, Indeed, ZipRecruiter, and Monster. Some of these sites require background checks and have steps for user screening, while others function much like Craigslist and allow for most anyone to apply with a simple account. We’ve spent a whole bunch of time breaking down the main players in the China Job Platforms space. Here’s a list of them, organized alphabetically, with links to explore our full coverage of each as your curiosity compels: 51job (前程无忧): A Look at the Leading Chinese Job Site 58.com (58同城): China’s Largest Classifieds Site and Much More BOSS Zhipin (BOSS直聘): The Most Active Job Portal in China Ganji (赶集网): A Look at the Giant Chinese Classifieds Platform Lagou (拉勾): The Jobs Portal Focused on China’s Tech Talent Liepin 猎聘: China’s Leading High-End Talent Platform Maimai (脉脉): The Closest Thing to LinkedIn in China Zhilian Zhaopin (智联招聘): An Overview of the Chinese Job Platform Outside of job platforms, social networks have become a much more popular place for professional networking and job information. According to data from 51job, this is especially true for younger generations of job seekers in China. Once again, the big global social media players are either not available or widely used in China. Some of China’s biggest social networks include the (super-app) Wechat, Douyin (Tiktok), Weibo, Red (XiaoHongShu), and the LinkedIn-esque Maimai. When sourcing candidates from Social Media, classified sites, and even personal networks – it’s important to qualify every hopeful job seeker and stick to a vetting process (cue the rest of our tips below!). Did you know? TeamedUp China uses our own talent pool along with a combination of the top Chinese job sites to source the most relevant and interested candidates. Our process filters out the non-serious applications early & swiftly (excuse us, and now back to the show)… Watch Out for Early Red Flags – Especially in Communication Pay attention to early communication: “The candidate’s responsiveness in communication and scheduling interviews is telling.” says Ms Zhu, a Recruiting Pro with 10 years of experience doing so in China. “Even the way they present their availability can be insightful – it can help tell us how much are they prioritizing the opportunity” she adds. Ms Chen, our Recruiting Lead based in Shanghai, elaborates that early email and text (WeChat) communication can also be a great window into the future working relationship with this person. Are they responsive? Clear in communication? If they can’t coordinate an interview process professionally, they probably won’t be able to do so with an important company project. Validate References & Background There are a few key things that we believe can help out candidate filtering a whole bunch without too much of a hassle. Background Check A standard criminal background check is an easy one to obtain in China. It may be referred to as a Police Check or just a background check. Our Recruitment Lead, Ms Chen, on the topic: “Be clear early on, that candidates are expected to submit [a police check] before starting. Anyone not OK with this request is probably not a good fit (…for us anyway).” She goes on to state that we don’t see much of a downside or hassle when companies have a police check required for all new hires. References Check & Contact References are a standard in any hiring process. We probably don’t need to tell you to check on some references provided by candidates. The tip here is to make sure the references themselves are legitimate. This point came up when our Hiring Pros Ms Chen & Ms Zhu reminded me of some of the things we’ve seen over the years: Friends & family members posing as a reference on the phone, References being a colleague in an entirely different department, Candidates hiring a service that provides “professional” references. Now this is not a China-specific problem. A quick internet search will reveal entire guides devoted to spotting and dealing with fake references. The difference here is that many of these tactics don’t really work in China. That said, the general principles apply, but will just need that China-twist to prove effective: Locate the reference on a professional platform, and validate their credentials there. If they aren’t on LinkedIn – try China-focused professional networking platforms like Maimai. Communicate through a professional channel. While an introduction via Wechat is common in China, we suggest also asking for a business email – that means a format resembling ‘name@company.com’ instead of something like the QQ wall-of-random email ‘94835680374653845@qq.com’. Double-check their information and qualifications directly. It may be helpful to prep a couple of industry or candidate-specific questions for the reference call to make sure the person on the other end is who they say they

Most Popular Job Search Methods in China - TeamedUp China

How Modern Chinese Workers Look for a Job in 2024

Beau Parrish / 2024-04-08

So how do China’s skilled, bright, and young professionals find a job in the modern era of the 2020s? We’re going to break down a 2023 data set from one of China’s largest HR companies: 51job. It is among China’s biggest job portals and has some of the largest amounts of local, first-hand, high-quality data points. In this survey, recent graduates were asked to choose all of the main methods they have used to obtain recruitment and hiring information in their job search. The Job Search or Recruitment information sources were divided into 6 categories. Let’s dive into some data! Most Popular Job Search Tools Used by Chinese Job-Seekers Is Guānxì (关系) still king? Taking the #1 spot in a 2023 survey by 51job, 74.8% of new graduates claimed Recruitment Websites/Apps as a main source of recruitment information. Interestingly, the least chosen method for obtaining job & recruitment information was via networking, with only 14.1% of those surveyed utilizing the method. Here’s the full results: Recruitment Websites / Apps / Platforms: 74.8% Attending Online Presentations / Seminars: 56.1% Job Fairs / Offline Recruitment Events: 33.4% Social Media: 31.1% University Employment Services: 25.7% Personal / Professional Networks: 14.1% Highlights from the Data #1. Recruitment Websites / Apps / Platforms It’s no surprise that in today internet-first, post-COVID environment that Job Platforms are thriving. The major Job Search Apps in China have extensive features for job seekers and the most opportunities for young professionals listed in one place. There are quite a few successful job and classifieds platforms in China. We’ve covered most of the alternatives in this discussion – Chinese HR firms that you may think of as similar to LinkedIn or Indeed. Check out our deeper look here: 10 Chinese Alternatives to LinkedIn, Indeed, ZipRecruiter, and Monster #4. Social Media It’s interesting to see how far social media has come in the professional world. That holds true for China especially. The country’s most popular super-app, Wechat, has grown to become the #1 communication tool in both the personal and professional spaces. Companies are able to promote themselves in a professional way not only on WeChat, but also on other social media platforms including Weibo, Douyin (Tiktok), Red (Xiaohongshu), and the LinkedIn-esque hybrid platform, Maimai. We took a deeper look at the social and professional platforms that Chinese professionals use in the wake of LinkedIn leaving China here: LinkedIn Has Left China. Here Are The Apps Chinese Users Will Shift To. #6. Personal & Professional Networks Only 14.1% of those surveyed reported using their own networks to seek out job opportunity information. Networking, often referred to robustly as Guanxi (关系 Guānxì) in China, has long been a popular backbone of the country’s business culture. While I have no doubt that Guanxi is still a big part of business in China, it is interesting to see such a low number in this poll from, essentially, the next generation of workers in the Middle Kingdom. And since it is indeed a pool of the next generation, these job-seekers are young and most likely to have yet to establish a useful professional network. Deep and beneficial Guanxi comes from long-term relationships – so this may all add up just like that. That being said, technology is enabling the way job-seekers gather and process information at an astounding rate, and it’s no surprise that China’s youngest working generation is using all of these convenient, modern tools they have. Survey Bias It is important to note that this survey came from a leading Chinese Job Platform, 51job. Because of this, the results may be skewed towards the winning option ‘Recruitment Websites’. Allow room for bias here by adjusting this result down. Hiring in China? We can help, and stay within your budget! The TeamedUp China Recruiting Pros are at it again!

Beau Parrish / 2024-04-11

This one goes out to all those beautiful newlyweds-to-be in China! Today we’re covering Marriage Leave, or 婚假 Hūnjiǎ, in the Middle Kingdom. To be clear this is about Marriage Leave, which is also known as Wedding Leave. This is separate from, and sometimes confused with, other benefits such as Maternity Leave, Paternity Leave, and Parental Leave in China. First off, let’s get the big question out of the way… Are Employees in China Entitled to Marriage Leave? On a national level, China’s minimum paid marriage leave is three days. Many provinces choose to extend this, and some have extended marriage leave up to 30 days.

Yes, the mandatory national and province/city-level marriage leave times (outlined above) are paid. Marriage Leave is considered paid leave in China. Leave for Second Marriages + The country’s Labor and Social Security Department has stated that those getting remarried in a second, third, etc. marriage are treated the same and enjoy the same benefits as in a first marriage. From the Department: “According to the spirit of the Civil Code and the state’s provisions on employee marriage leave, the legal status of remarried people is the same as that of first-married people. Employers should refer to the above for remarried employees.” More Marriage Leave in Recent Updates (2023) In early 2023, some Chinese provinces raised paid leave for newlyweds to as many as 30 days. Namely – Gansu and Shanxi provinces, in the relatively northern part of China, have extended their Paid Marriage Leave window to the 30-day mark. One of the main intentions behind the extensions is to increase fertinility rates. It’s no secret that China’s policymakers have been working to increase this for years, and especially evident since the 2015 reversal of the one-child policy. Yang Haiyang, dean of the Social Development Research Institute of the Southwestern University of Finance and Economics (In coverage by Nikkei): “Extending marriage leave is one of the effective ways of increasing the fertility rate, the extension of marriage leave is mainly in some provinces and cities with relatively slow economic development.” Enjoy that extra time off, newlyweds!
