According to Anphabe Company, looking at macroeconomic indicators and survey data from human resources offices, it is not difficult to recognize that the labor recruitment market is quickly regaining its form. Personnel alignment and the need to attract talent are returning to an accelerating trajectory after a long period of austerity.
Anphabe Company said that if the period 2023-2024 was considered a "hibernation" period for defense, then to date, the number of businesses struggling in a state of "trying to survive" has drastically decreased, from 24% (period 2023-2024) to only 8%. Conversely, up to 74% of organizations confidently position themselves in the "low growth - stable" group and 18% break through in the "high growth" group. This proves that the restructuring strategies, cost optimization and business model transformation of operators have begun to bear fruit.
At the same time, the human resource thirst is widely activated because in 2026, the recovery in business immediately activated the recruitment market. According to Anphabe Company's records from the strategic orientation of businesses, 57% of organizations (companies, businesses in all fields) affirmed that they will increase the scale of personnel to serve the upcoming growth goals.
This demand is not evenly distributed but strongly focused on key industries – where technology and consumer demand are reshaping the rules of the game:
Information/telecommunications technology (63%): Under the pressure of the AI wave and comprehensive digital transformation, the demand for data engineers and network security experts has never cooled down.
Construction/Real Estate/Materials (58%): The return of large infrastructure projects requires an abundant force of engineers and project managers.
Hotels, services (56%): The boom of the tourism and high-end services industry after the recession promotes the re-establishment of the operating apparatus.
Manufacturing/electronics/technics (55%): The trend of shifting the global supply chain turns Vietnam into a new manufacturing capital, leading to demand for high-tech labor.
Fast-moving consumer goods/pharmaceuticals (49%): Domestic purchasing power recovery forces brands to increase supply and distribution chain personnel.
