HCMC - A business in the North of HCMC needs to recruit more than 700 workers but cannot find enough candidates.

On December 19, the Trade Union of Geng Viet Joint Stock Company (Cau Sat Hamlet, Ben Cat Ward, Ho Chi Minh City) said that the enterprise is in need of recruiting a lot of workers to meet the need to expand production. However, at the end of the year, the labor force is scarce, making recruitment difficult.

Talking to reporters, the representative of the above enterprise said that the company has built a new factory that will operate from the beginning of 2026 with 10 production lines. This factory needs about 600 workers, but only has 166 workers. The total recruitment demand of the two factories is more than 700 workers. In addition to unskilled labor, the need for trained human resources for the positions: Maintenance, Production Operation, QA - QC, Human Resources Administration... is very urgent.

According to the Trade Union of Geng Viet Joint Stock Company, employees working at the Company have a stable income of 8-20 million VND/month, and are fully covered by health insurance, social insurance, unemployment insurance, etc. according to regulations. When signing an official labor contract, employees are allowed to join grassroots trade unions and enjoy many union welfare activities.

According to records, in addition to the above company, in Ben Cat ward, Bau Bang ward, there are many businesses that are in need of recruitment. However, the number of workers coming to find jobs is very small.

The reason for the labor shortage is that the labor force in the provinces to Ho Chi Minh City is small. In addition, at the end of the year, the number of workers changing jobs to find new jobs is also limited.

Currently, the professional units of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Home Affairs continue to strengthen solutions to connect labor supply and demand. Businesses can participate in direct and indirect job exchanges organized by Employment Service Centers in Ho Chi Minh City. In addition, the centers also support businesses to post recruitment information on social networking channels...
