RMG has released the first of its new Recruitment Insider Survey, a quarterly based project aimed at the Great China region with the intention of helping people know more details about the recruitment performance in the region. Data is collected from 10 different types of the company in  more than 10 cities and across 20 industries. The results come from HR managers, line managers or people at a higher level and these give an insight into hiring headcounts, salary package, salary rise, employing demand, etc.

HR and hiring managers from nearly 600 corporations in the Great China area participated in the first quarter survey. Launched at the beginning of the May, the survey found only 8.2 per cent of companies did not have new headcounts, indicating a huge demand  for talent within the job market. Among these companies, SOEs are in the leading position where 99.1 per cent have introduced new talents to the company in first quarter. However, the salary rise is not as powerful as RMG expected, with 80 per cent of companies offering their new talent under a 10 per cent salary increase. In this respect, multi-national companies are still ranked at number one for delivering the highest salary rise.

The report shows that the machinery, IT and legal sectors are on the top list of hot openings in job market. Sectors which are delivering salary rises of more than 30 per cent include the IT industry. While the manufacturing industry is at the lowest level, 22 per cent of them do not have any new hiring positions. Sales, marketing and product departments are on the top three list of sectors looking for talent with 69.5 per cent, 49.8 per cent and 36.3 per cent of those companies looking for candidates. The survey also found head-hunters to be the most important channel to introduce new talent to HR and hiring managers, and nearly a third of manager-level positions are sourced by this route. An emerging channel for recruitment, the social media, is almost as popular as job fair, ranked as the second most popular method of talent-hunting.

“The survey is a stage to present different details of recruitment in various industries, HRs and  hiring managers,” says CEO and founder of RMG Selection, Robert Parkinson. This survey will show people the hottest hiring trends and changes in first quarter and we hope that this could help job seekers and employers figure out their own suitable positions and targets.”
