Businesses in Dong Nai crave unskilled labor

HÀ ANH CHIẾN (báo lao động) 15/09/2026 14:35 (GMT+7)

Faced with the labor shortage situation, right from the beginning of 2026, businesses in Dong Nai have posted recruitment for a large number of workers, but so far they have only recruited in small quantities.

Since the beginning of 2026, Elite Long Thanh Co., Ltd. (Loc An - Binh Son Industrial Park, Long Thanh Ward, Dong Nai City) has continuously advertised for labor, participated in job fairs to expand production, but so far has not met the number of workers.

Mr. Nguyen Quoc Hung - Chairman of the grassroots Trade Union of Elite Long Thanh Co., Ltd. - said that the company's recruitment demand is 700 workers to serve the expansion of production in the late year when the demand for goods is high. However, on average, only 50-70 workers can be recruited each month.

Currently, Elite Long Thanh Co., Ltd. is recruiting 360 tailors, 110 general laborers, 30 office workers... To attract labor, the company offers a "introduction bonus" policy of 5.5 million VND for company workers who introduce a skilled tailor and a introduction bonus of 4 million VND when introducing a non-skilled tailor; for outsiders who successfully introduce a tailor, they will receive a introduction bonus of 500,000 VND.

Similarly, Dong Phu Cuong Joint Stock Company (Thong Nhat commune, Dong Nai city) specializing in garment production also posted recruitment from the beginning of 2026, but so far the whole company has only about 2,650 employees, currently lacking about 300 employees. In 2026, the company expanded another smart factory with about 800 - 1,000 workers, so it needs a large number of employees.

Toan Cau Dynamic Mechanical Co., Ltd. (Giang Dien Industrial Park, Trang Bom Ward, Dong Nai City) with the specific characteristics of manufacturing in the mechanical industry currently has about 1,400 employees, but has also been facing difficulties in recruiting workers recently.

Representatives of the company's grassroots Trade Union said that the labor supply is very limited, causing recruitment to be fragmented, currently the company is short of about 300 technical workers to general workers.

To attract workers, the company also offers many preferential treatment regimes such as income from 12-15 million VND/month, 13th month bonus on average 2-3 months' salary, holiday bonus, attachment bonus. In addition, the company also has 7 days of preferential leave enjoying 100% salary, annual tourism...

Dong Nai Employment Service Center organizes the September 2026 Job Exchange, attracting 20 businesses in the city to participate, with a recruitment demand of more than 4,000 workers. Of which, the demand for general labor accounts for more than 85%.

At the job exchange, businesses recruit many positions in industry groups such as: Manufacturing - processing, mechanics, electricity - electronics, garment, engineering, logistics, business and general labor.
