Shoe company struggles to recruit 1,000 workers
A company specializing in the production of exported sports shoes with a large number of workers in Dau Giay Industrial Park, Thong Nhat District is urgently recruiting 1,000 production workers with attractive income to serve the need to expand production orders. The company offers many benefits and benefits for employees such as support for transportation vehicles, health check-ups, childcare allowances, output bonuses, year-end bonuses, holidays, Tet, etc.
This company also has an attractive bonus policy, continuously increasing the bonus level to attract workers to work. For newly hired workers who are not skilled, the company rewards 1.5 million VND/person. For newly hired workers with skills, the company rewards them with 3 million VND/person. The company also has a policy applied to company employees, introducing a new worker to work will receive a notice fee of 1.5 million VND/person.
After June 2025, this company will continue to recruit 1,000 more workers. However, according to the representative of the company's union, due to the shortage of imported workers in Dong Nai province, the local labor force is small and there is competition from many other companies, there is also a need to recruit workers. Therefore, although it has registered to recruit workers since the end of 2024, the company has not yet recruited enough workers to meet production needs.
"With this situation, businesses are "going their hair" to find a source of labor" - this representative shared.
