This year, the domestic fresh graduates of colleges and universities have exceeded the tens of millions for the first time, and the return of international students has also become a craze, and the employment market is fierce.
What is the real employment situation of international students returning to China?
What are the main aspects of the competitiveness of international students?
In order to explore the real employment situation of fresh overseas students, Liepin Big Data Research Institute launched "2022 Young Talents and International Students Employment Trend Insights", deeply analyzes the employment trends and competitiveness of young talents and international students, and compares it with the employment and job hunting situation of fresh graduates in domestic universities to provide reference for fresh students' employment.
The following are wonderful excerpts related to international students in the [Report]:
. QS100 International students have obvious competitive advantages
Overall, the talent competitiveness of fresh graduates is higher than that of domestic fresh graduates.
The talent competitiveness index here is derived from the search, interaction and other behaviors of the employer of the comprehensive enterprise, reflecting the company's favorability for talents. The higher this index, the more interested the company is in talents and the higher the competitiveness of talents.
From January 2018 to May 2022, the competitiveness index ranking of domestic and foreign fresh graduates is roughly:
Overseas QS100 Overseas non-QS100 ≈ Domestic 985/211 Domestic non-985/211.

. Study abroad experience is a bonus
Liepin Survey on corporate HRs showed that 80.85% of corporate HRs believe that under the same conditions, study abroad experience will become a bonus for candidates.
When asked about the reasons for judging the competitiveness of graduates, the HR (83.02%), who believes that domestic and foreign graduates are also competitive, said "each has its own strengths and has its own strengths"; , who prefers QS100 international students, believes that "QS100 colleges are famous and recognized at home and abroad"; while the HR (16.11%), who prefer domestic graduates, said that they are "familiar with the local situation and are easier to adapt to domestic work."

However, since the epidemic, many international students have been affected by this and can only take online classes. Some even graduated before going abroad, so the value of their education has been questioned.
So 46.5% of corporate HRs believe that compared with before the epidemic, international students' competitiveness in the domestic talent market has been reduced. Only 24.62% of HRs believe that the competitiveness of international students has improved after the epidemic.
Indeed, with the popularization of higher education and the intensification of globalization, international students are indeed not as scarce as before, but we can clearly see that the ranking of schools is still very important for talent competitiveness.

. Industry and job distribution of international students
Survey data on HR shows that in the past year, 65.35% of enterprises have recruited international students. The five major industries that prefer international students are finance, education and media, electronic communications, pharmaceutical medical care and the Internet. In particular, finance reached 80.33%.

As for the reasons for preferring to recruit international students, the three reasons given by corporate HRs are "the relevant positions have high requirements for foreign language skills", "the company's talents need to be diversified", and "there is an international perspective and knowledgeable".

4. The salary for priority positions for international students is higher
Big data shows that in the past year, the priority positions for international students accounted for 10.15% of all positions, and its average annual salary was 244,300 yuan, which is 32,900 yuan higher than the average annual salary for recruitment for all positions.
Priority positions for international students The salary is higher than the overall level reflects the employer's affirmation of the value of international students .

In the past year, the priority positions for international students are spread across major industries, the most of which is the Internet industry, accounting for 26.85%.
The average annual salary for recruitment for priority positions in major industries is higher than the overall average level of the industry. Among them, the three industries with the highest annual salary for international students are pharmaceutical medical care, electronic communications and the Internet.

5. Comparison of job search keywords for fresh graduates
From the search behavior of fresh graduates on job search platforms in the past year, overseas fresh graduates focus more on searching for specific company names, among which the top three are: ByteDance, Tencent , Huawei . Their job search goals are relatively clear and their self-evaluation is high.
Domestic fresh graduates focus more on searching for functional jobs, and the top three keywords are clerk, assistant, and operation . Relatively speaking, they do not have specific requirements for which company to submit, and they can try it as long as the position is right.

Domestic Internet companies have developed rapidly in recent years, and many have opened up overseas businesses. Their influence radiates to the world and has become an important choice for overseas students to return to China.
