Center needs 3,000 workers, can only recruit 200 people
In Dong Nai province, in the first quarter of 2026, businesses have a need to recruit nearly 68,000 workers, especially in March 2026, the recruitment demand is 14,000 workers. Businesses have offered competitive salaries and good welfare regimes, but recruitment is still difficult and does not meet demand.
In mid-March 2026, the Dong Nai Employment Service Center organized the I/2026 Job Exchange to promptly support rapid employment for unemployed workers, meeting the human resources for businesses in the province with a demand of nearly 3,000 workers. Of which, more than 90% of businesses need to recruit unskilled workers. However, the number of employees recruited is only about 200 people.
Elite Long Thanh Co., Ltd. (Loc An - Binh Son Industrial Park, Long Thanh commune, Dong Nai province) recruits 860 tailors (unqualified candidates will receive free training and will still be paid during the apprenticeship period) and 180 workers in other positions.
In addition to salaries, the company offers many benefits and regimes for employees such as: Gifts for the occasions of March 8th, June 1st, Mid-Autumn Festival, Christmas, Lunar New Year; support for cars to return home for Tet for employees; support for bank loans with preferential interest rates; employees are allowed to work in a green - clean - beautiful, friendly and professional environment...
In particular, when introducing a skilled tailor, they will be rewarded 5.5 million VND and when introducing a non-skilled tailor, they will be rewarded 4 million VND.
Mobilizing labor force to participate in job exchanges
Similarly, Dong Phu Cuong Joint Stock Company (Thong Nhat commune, Dong Nai province) recruits from 800 - 1,000 workers to expand production, the company has introduced many labor recruitment policies such as: Bonuses for referrers, bonuses for newly integrated workers (average 2 million VND/person)... However, up to now, recruitment is still very difficult, only a few hundred workers have been recruited, not meeting the needs.
According to the Dong Nai Employment Service Center, the main recruitment demand is for unskilled labor (over 90%) in the garment, electronics, mechanical, wood... industries. However, the source of labor participating in the exchange is still limited, many people do not meet the requirements, making job connections ineffective.
Mr. Pham Tan - Deputy Director of the Employment Service Center (Department of Home Affairs of Dong Nai province) - said: The Center promotes propaganda and mobilizes labor forces to participate in job exchanges, including many subjects such as: Unemployment benefits recipients, policy retirees, soldiers, police demobilized, youth, workers from poor and near-poor households, remote and isolated areas...
