The agency released the 2022 talent trend: the game industry salary growth rate is fast, and local enterprises and technology companies are popular

What kind of changes have taken place in the talent market in the more than two years since the COVID-19 pandemic? What are the new challenges facing job seeker trends and business demand for talent? Headhunting company Hudson released its 2022 Talent Trends Report on January 19, which found that there is a stronger willingness to flow talent to local companies and technology companies.

The report interviewed nearly 500 business executives or key position practitioners from different regions and industries in the Chinese mainland, 60% of whom are senior managers and above, of which 52% are from foreign or joint ventures, 20% from state-owned enterprises or large local enterprises, and 8% from startups.

The survey found that senior talents are more willing to leave foreign companies and join local listed companies and start-up companies. 56% of respondents said they would like to join a state-owned enterprise, listed company, private enterprise, innovative company or platform. "Such enterprises are now overtaking in curves, the speed of development is amazing, especially driven by science and technology, the momentum of development is strong, with high salaries and generous treatment and other incentives to excavate a variety of outstanding talents from foreign companies." The report states. The demand for compound talents in the intelligent electric vehicle industry and medical industry is particularly significant.

According to the report, due to the epidemic, more people are willing to accept the flexible working model, which accounts for 43%. In addition, as a new force in the workplace, Generation Z is more inclined to embrace diversity, and the preferred industry is the Internet, but job hopping is also more frequent.

The fastest-growing areas of salary are also the ones where capital is most concentrated, such as the gaming industry. Yu Zhiwei, CEO of Hudson Greater China, told the first financial reporter: "Some companies do not hesitate to dig up talents, which is related to promoting follow-up financing and listing. Especially in the game industry, "although the annual salary of some technical and art positions can be as high as one million, there are still very few talents who can really be competent, and many positions are 'valuable and marketless', and high-end technical talents cannot be recruited." ”

Song Qian, managing director of Hudson's recruitment business in China, told the first financial reporter: "We have found that many recruitment companies and applicants are labeled 'meta-universe' on the recruitment information, but in fact, some companies actually give recruitment positions are still traditional positions, and it is clear that they hope to attract more outstanding talents through the positioning of 'meta-universe'." ”

Yu Zhiwei said that the technical core of the metacosmity has many levels, from basic 5G technology, cloud computing technology, to blockchain technology. "The talents required for these core technologies are actually the talents we are familiar with, such as communication research and development engineers, blockchain, artificial intelligence, VR/AR, technical art, 3D modeling, and game design." He told the first financial reporter, "Therefore, meta-universe talents are composite talents with different skills, and such high-level technical talents generally have a large gap and are in short supply." ”

The report also shows that although talents still value salary, they are more focused on the long-term development of the platform. 22% of respondents see compensation and benefits as the primary factor in accepting a new job, 20% value business prospects, and 19% value personal development space. In addition, the proportion of company culture and values, and job fulfillment in the job search factor is also rising.
