Hangzhou turns 'destination of choice' for talent

Hangzhou is rapidly emerging as the most attractive destination for talents who have left China's first-tier cities, as the capital of Zhejiang province has done a good job in cultivating innovation-driven startups, a new report said on Tuesday.

In the first two months of 2018, 13.7 percent of jobseekers who have left Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are heading to Hangzhou for new opportunities, according to the report released by the online recruitment platform Boss Zhipin.

Chang Meng, president of the research institute at Boss Zhipin, said: "A string of competitive tech companies, including both heavyweights and startups, have emerged in Hangzhou. Its appeal will increasingly grow in the coming years."
