Companies face challenge in hiring qualified talent

Chinese blockchain entrepreneurs received far more job applications than they needed to fill positions over the past year, but finding qualified talent continued to pose a challenge.

Last year, the number of applicants for blockchain-related jobs outpaced demand 3.6 times, according to a report by online recruitment platform Zhaopin.com.

However, candidates with blockchain-related skills and working experience only met 7 percent of the total demand.
