According to ManpowerGroup Vietnam, due to strong economic recovery, the second quarter of 2025 promises to bring many job opportunities, especially in the IT, manufacturing and finance industries.

Due to economic recovery and digital transformation, technology development, businesses are expanding their human resources.
In Vietnam, experts from ManpowerGroup Vietnam said that recruitment demand will also increase in many industries in the second quarter, especially in the manufacturing sector. Since the beginning of the year, ManpowerGroup Vietnam has received many requests to recruit qualified workers in the field of industry - materials, especially manufacturing (38%).
Then there are the fields of finance - real estate, goods - consumer services and information technology.
In particular, the information technology sector is prioritizing the recruitment of positions with high expertise and extensive experience to lead digital transformation projects and develop new technology ideas.
Meanwhile, the demand for recruiting young, newly graduated human resources in this field is showing signs of slowing down. The reason is that businesses are still closely monitoring the economic situation before deciding to expand personnel, while prioritizing improving the performance of the current team instead of recruiting new ones.
ManpowerGroup Vietnam forecasts the 3 industries that will be recruited the most in the second quarter of 2025, including: Information Technology industry increased by 42%, focusing on artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing and cybersecurity; Finance - Real estate industry increased by 34%, due to the recovery of the real estate market and fintech; Industry - Materials increased by 31%, especially in electric car and renewable energy production.
