Japanese, S. Korean firms recruit thousands of workers for year-end season
Laborers seek for job opportunities at the fair on November 28.

The Hanoi Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (Hanoi DoLISA) has coordinated with the Center of Overseas Labor (under the Ministry of Home Affairs) to organize a job fair specifically for workers returning from South Korea under the Employment Permit System (EPS) program and technical interns returning from Japan under the IM Japan program (Public Interest Foundation International Manpower Development Organization - abbreviated as IM Japan).

According to the organizing committee, the fair on November 28 featured 54 units and enterprises with a total recruitment demand of 1,880 positions.

Notably, 22 enterprises with South Korean and Japanese investment capital (FDI) are recruiting for various positions, including electronic manufacturing workers, mechanical technicians, machine operators, CNC technicians, interpreters, and electrical-electronics staff, offering attractive income levels.

Regarding industry sectors, manufacturing enterprises account for approximately 33% of the participants. The remaining companies operate in fields such as commerce and services, electrical-electronics, construction, and transport.

Enterprises are seeking workers across various segments with a relatively balanced distribution: 32.3% of the demand is for university and college graduates, 34.8% for intermediate and technical workers, and the remainder for general labor.

The majority of recruitment offers fall within the income range of VND10–15 million ($380 - 570) per month. This salary range applies to stable positions such as accountants, office staff, receptionists, hospitality staff, technical staff, and skilled general labor.

Deputy Director of Hanoi DoLISA Nguyen Tay Nam stated that Hanoi consistently prioritizes job creation by dispatching workers abroad under labor contracts, particularly to the South Korean and Japanese markets.

In recent times, approximately 8,000 workers have returned to the city after completing their terms in South Korea and Japan under the EPS and IM Japan programs, respectively. These programs have provided good employment opportunities and stable incomes, significantly helping to improve the lives of the workers.
