Talent war intensifies in tech, digital, financial services sector

China's demand for talents in technology, digital and financial services sector will continue to grow, while the education sector may see a tight talent crunch as demand still outweighs supply, a new report said.

The evolution of technology in China has created a shortage of experienced local talent, whereas job options for the middle and senior management level personnel are growing in the technology industry, according to the latest China Salary Benchmark 2019 published by specialist recruitment firm Michael Page China.

"China's reputation as a global technology superpower has led to consistent job opportunities. Leading the employment activities are the entrance and expansion of firms in the large telecommunications, manufacturing, industrial, retail and artificial intelligence spaces," said Mark Tibbatts, managing director, Michael Page Greater China.
