Recruitment will increase from early 2025
Mr. Nguyen Van Chi - Chairman of the Trade Union of Crystal Martin Company (Bac Giang) - said that each month the company only recruits about 40-50 workers. According to Mr. Chi, the reason the company recruits few workers at the end of the year is because the orders have stabilized; the labor force is enough to meet the production needs of the business.
Speaking to Lao Dong Newspaper reporters, Mr. Ngo Duc Thang - Chairman of the Trade Union of Industrial Parks in Bac Giang province - said that at this time, companies in the province's industrial parks are hardly recruiting, only a few companies are recruiting to compensate for the loss of labor, but the number is insignificant.
Mr. Nguyen Van Thanh (30 years old) - an employee in charge of recruiting human resources for a garment company in Nam Dinh said that by the end of November, his company must recruit 200 more workers to produce goods before the Lunar New Year 2025.
“Up to now, we have recruited almost enough staff. Since September 2024, the company has signed long-term orders with 2 new customer partners. Therefore, the company's leaders decided to establish a new branch and recruit more workers, the order is expected to last until mid-2025,” said Mr. Thanh.
Mr. Nguyen Van Nam - Head of Human Resources of a garment company in Nam Dinh said: "Currently, the company has only recruited 110 workers, so the old workers have to work overtime 3-4 hours/day, we hire more workers to work on weekends to be able to meet orders before Tet."
