"Recruiting" workers
Hai Phong's industrial production index is projected to increase by 15.2% in 2025, reflecting the stable scale and pace of industrial development in the city. Instead of waiting until after the Lunar New Year as is customary, many businesses are proactively recruiting additional personnel to ensure production operations and order fulfillment. Therefore, job fairs at the beginning of 2026 are expected to be quite active, with many businesses inside and outside industrial zones increasing their labor recruitment needs, focusing on sectors such as garment manufacturing, electronic components, footwear, education , and real estate.
For example, Regina Miracle International Vietnam Co., Ltd. needs to recruit approximately 1,500 workers; Great Star Industrial Vietnam Co., Ltd. (Nam Cau Kien Industrial Park) needs to recruit more than 300 workers; Maple Co., Ltd. (VSIP Hai Phong Industrial Park) urgently needs to recruit 500 workers... Brother Vietnam Co., Ltd. (Phuc Dien Industrial Park) is implementing a policy of increasing salaries (new level of 5.9 million VND/person/month), increasing allowances (currently 1.28 million VND/person/month) starting from January 2026 and recruiting both permanent and seasonal workers. Tinh Loi Garment Co., Ltd. (Nam Sach Industrial Park) is launching the "Tinh Loi Garment Recruitment 2026" competition to encourage employees and workers to participate in recruitment activities, with total prizes up to 35 million VND and opening an online interview channel - online job placement…
Ms. Do Thi Thanh Huyen, Head of Human Resources at Sao Sang Group, stated: "The group operates in many different fields, so the recruitment needs are quite diverse, ranging from electrical and plumbing engineers, surveying engineers, accountants, to housekeeping staff… Therefore, the group needs to recruit both general and seasonal workers. In addition to posting information on the website and fanpage, the company actively participates in job fairs to interview candidates and support workers in starting work before the Lunar New Year of 2026."
The beginning of the year is also a time when the demand for information, applications, and overseas employment increases, so labor export service providers are also working diligently. Ms. Nguyen Mai Huong, a staff member of the Human Resources Department at VTEDCO Resource Supply Company, said: "The company has many years of experience in supplying seafarers and laborers to businesses and organizations in Europe (Denmark, Belgium, Germany, Netherlands) and Asia (South Korea, Taiwan, Japan). Currently, the company is ready to advise, connect, and supply job seekers in the fields of construction, industry, agriculture , seafarers, maritime officers, etc., ensuring compliance with regulations and legal requirements. The flexible and suitable format of job fairs is a practical tool to help businesses easily access labor in need."
Diverse support channels
Businesses proactively recruiting early will help reduce labor turnover after the Lunar New Year, creating a foundation for a more sustainable year of production and business.
According to a report by the Hai Phong City Department of Internal Affairs, in addition to preferential policies on loan terms and interest rates to support workers in developing self-employment livelihoods, the city is promoting activities to connect with the labor market. A notable point in the current labor market is the strong shift in recruitment methods, with online recruitment becoming dominant. Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh, Head of the Job Counseling and Placement - Labor Market Information Department of the Hai Phong Employment Service Center, shared: In January this year, the center organized 4 job fairs, including 3 regular sessions combined with online livestreaming and 1 mobile session in Ngo Quyen ward..., attracting a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises and foreign-invested enterprises in the city to participate.
According to many experts, the labor market in 2026 will not experience rapid growth in numbers but will shift towards selective recruitment, prioritizing skilled personnel with experience and the ability to adapt quickly. Therefore, vocational training, retraining, and skill upgrading for workers will also be emphasized.
According to Nguyen Quang Minh, Deputy Head of the Hai Phong Economic Zone Management Board, businesses in the city's industrial parks and economic zones currently provide employment for nearly 345,000 workers, with an average income of 11.59 million VND per person per month. Besides cooperation and networking in labor training, many businesses organize free foreign language classes right in their factories, reward innovative ideas, and send employees to study abroad, helping the workforce adapt more quickly and effectively to the increasingly high demands of businesses in the context of digital transformation and economic restructuring.
In addition, the Department of Internal Affairs has assigned the City Employment Service Center to continue building and improving the labor market database. Simultaneously, job counseling and placement activities, as well as the diversification of job placement services (online, mobile, and job fairs), will continue to be maintained and the operational capacity of the City Job Exchange will be enhanced. Through these efforts, the city will strengthen support for labor market development, especially providing timely vocational training for those receiving unemployment benefits and expanding employment opportunities for young people.
