Year-end recruitment increases sharply, workers are vigilant to protect their rights
Can Tho - Businesses enter the peak recruitment season at the end of the year, opening up more opportunities for workers, but also requiring caution when choosing jobs.
Workers seek year-end opportunities
According to the Can Tho City Employment Service Center (DVVL), from the end of September 2026, the labor market in the city recorded a clear acceleration. If in the first months of 2026, businesses mainly focused on stabilizing staff and recruiting to compensate for losses, this time is entering a large-scale recruitment wave to welcome the peak of production and business to serve year-end and Tet orders.
The recruitment wave opens up more opportunities for workers looking for jobs, especially in manufacturing, processing and service industries.
Currently applying at a seafood processing enterprise in Tra Noc Industrial Park, Mr. Nguyen Huu Nam (23 years old, Binh Thuy ward, Can Tho city) hopes to find a stable general labor job with an income of about 6-9 million VND/month.
The thing I am most concerned about is the fixed salary and allowances such as lunch money, overtime to have savings to bring home for my family to celebrate Tet," Mr. Nam said.
Meanwhile, Nguyen Minh Hieu (27 years old, Ninh Kieu ward) is aiming for delivery work. Mr. Hieu expects to find a job with an income of about 8-10 million VND/month, while prioritizing businesses with fixed salaries, bonuses according to orders and supporting gas and phone costs.
Be vigilant against floating recruitment information
Through surveying, collecting information and receiving recruitment orders from businesses in the city as well as surrounding areas, the Can Tho City Employment Service Center recorded that the current recruitment demand is most concentrated in 4 industry groups.
In which, including the group of production, processing and industrial processing; the group of commerce, retail and food services (F&B); the group of transportation, logistics and delivery services; the group of professional and technical human resources.
However, to find safe jobs and ensure benefits, Ms. Nguyen Thi Kim Chung - Deputy Director of Can Tho City DVVL Center - reminded workers to prioritize accessing recruitment information through official, safe channels. In particular, it is necessary to be vigilant against recruitment information floating on social networks with the tricks of "light job with high salary", "working at home with huge income" or requesting deposit payments.
Can Tho City Employment Service Center recommends that workers come directly to the unit or access the information portal and official social networking site of the Center to find jobs. All job counseling and introduction activities at the Center are completely free.
In addition to salary levels, workers also need to pay attention to the legality of employment and long-term welfare regimes.
Units that sign full labor contracts, participate in social insurance, health insurance, and unemployment insurance according to regulations, and have clear Tet bonus policies, food and gasoline support will help workers ensure better rights," Ms. Chung informed.
The Center also reminds workers to proactively prepare personal hồ sơ, clearly identify strengths and aspirations before looking for a job. Participating in job transaction sessions directly or the "Job Cafe" program is an opportunity for workers to be consulted, oriented and connected with suitable positions by specialists.
