On May 8, 2024, the Talent Work Bureau of Wuhu Municipal Party Committee of Anhui Province was established. According to the "Wuhu Release", the newly established Talent Work Bureau will be responsible for studying and formulating the city's talent development and talent work policies, promoting the optimal allocation of human resources, and organizing the implementation of key talent plan projects.

So far, Anhui has Wuhu, Fuyang, Lu'an, Hefei, Tongling, Chaohu and other places to set up talent work bureaus. Before the establishment of talent work bureaus in various cities, at the provincial level, the deployment of talent work bureaus has also been launched.

In April 2024, Anhui held a meeting of the Provincial Party Committee's Talent Work Leading Group and proposed the establishment of the Provincial Party Committee's Talent Work Bureau. On April 17, Jiang Xi, deputy director of the Organization Department of the Anhui Provincial Party Committee, participated in the public event as the director of the Talent Work Bureau.

In addition to Anhui, Shenzhen in Guangdong, Wuhan in Hubei, Changsha in Hunan, Yinchuan in Ningxia, Jiangmen in Guangdong, Shanghai and other places have also set up talent work bureaus. As in other parts of Anhui, the newly established talent work bureaus in the above-mentioned areas are all working organs of the municipal party committee.

Sun Rui, director of the research office of the Chinese Academy of Human Sciences, explained that the recent intensive unveiling of talent work bureaus in various places is an opportunity for institutional reform, but the essence is still related to the central talent work conference held in 2021. "After the Central Talent Work Conference, we put forward the strategy of strengthening the country with talents in the new era, and the functional positioning of the party's management of talents and the party's grasp of talents is clearer, and the work is more focused."

Sun Rui said that after the 2021 Central Talent Work Conference, the system of talent work at the central level has been adjusted, and in order to improve the strategic layout of talents, the local government has successively established a talent work bureau for comprehensive management of talents. For example, when it comes to the evaluation of professional titles, it is still the human resources and social security department that is responsible. ”

Among them, Shanghai is the first region to set up a talent work bureau. According to the news released by the official WeChat public account of the Shanghai Municipal Science and Technology Commission "Shanghai Science and Technology", on January 28, 2024, the award ceremony of the 3rd "Shanghai Science and Technology Youth 35 Leading Program" was held in the International Conference Hall of the Shanghai Science Hall.

On April 29, 2024, the inauguration ceremony of the Talent Work Bureau was held in Haidian District, Beijing. According to the WeChat public account of "Beijing Haidian", Haidian is the most intensive area of intellectual resources in the country, and it is an important position for the implementation of the talent-led development strategy.

Southern Weekend reporters observed that before the start of the current round of institutional reform, many places also tried to set up talent work bureaus.

In the 2018 institutional reform, Beijing has integrated the responsibilities of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee and the responsibilities of the Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau to form the Municipal Talent Work Bureau as the organ managed by the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee. Hainan has established the Talent Development Bureau of the Hainan Provincial Party Committee, which is directly under the Provincial Party Committee.

In 2019, on the basis of the basic correspondence with the establishment and functions of the higher-level institutions, Nanshan District, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, also established the District Talent Work Bureau as the working organ of the District Party Committee in the institutional reform. According to local media reports in Guangdong, the Nanshan District Talent Work Bureau will truly realize "nesting and attracting phoenixes" by taking the lead, guiding, coordinating and guaranteeing the talent work and talent team construction in the whole region.
