Businesses face hiring challenges

Ma Ying, head of talent acquisition for the Human Resources Department of Siemens Ltd China:

Siemens has received a stable number of applications over the past 10 years. However, it has always been difficult to find qualified candidates for some challenging positions or locations.

Market behavior has changed recently. In the past, jobseekers would actively follow companies' recruitment posts and send applications at the proper time. Nowadays, social media platforms, such as LinkedIn, have offered another channel through which to be approached by companies.
