Hiring prospects set for rebound

More companies to boost headcount by end of year, says Hudson study

Employment prospects remain robust in China, with more companies expected to boost headcount during the second half of the year, thanks to the rapidly stabilizing economy and renewed business optimism, a leading global talent solutions company said on Wednesday.

Though Chinese employers added fewer employees during the first six months of the year than the same period of last year, their confidence in the country's economy still remains high, Hudson said in its Employment Trend Report. Hudson said that 53.2 percent of the 1,057 Chinese employers it polled for the report indicated that they would increase employee intake in the second half of this year.
