On December 28, the 2022 Maimai MAX Annual Workplace Night Talk and the "Desirable Job" Employer Selection Announcement Ceremony was held online. At the meeting, the "Searching for the Digital Era·Talent Migration Report 2023" was released. According to the report, in 2023, artificial intelligence, electronic chips, new energy vehicles, carbon neutrality, and biomedicine are showing the potential of economic pillars in the next decade.
Internet recruitment is slowing down, and the rapidly rising gold industry is hungry for talents. The "Report 2023" shows that the total number of recruitment positions on the platform in 2022 will decrease by 21.6% year-on-year. In particular, the number of pure Internet positions will decrease by 50.4% year-on-year. Nearly 40% of people are in crisis of layoffs, and 40.9% of laid-off workers have spent more than two months looking for a job. Few opportunities, high competitive pressure, and long window periods make working people extremely cautious about job-hopping. 67% of working people have the idea of changing jobs, but less than 30% of them actually take action.
Although the overall recruitment demand and Internet talent demand will decline in 2022, recruitment in emerging industries will expand. The "Report 2023" shows that the number of jobs in the carbon-neutral industry will nearly triple in 2022, and the number of new energy vehicle jobs will nearly triple. The talent shortage index (talent demand/talent delivery) in the artificial intelligence industry reaches 0.83, with an average of 6 people competing for 5 positions, making it the industry with the most talent shortage in 2022.
One-third of working professionals want to change jobs for “opportunities”. Among the factors that professionals are most concerned about when looking for jobs, the weight of "salary and benefits" has decreased, the weight of "personal development" has increased, and "business prospects" have entered the top three for the first time. In the employer selection list announced on site, in addition to technology giants such as Tencent, ByteDance, and Alibaba, many new gold industry companies such as new energy vehicle company Li Auto and smart home company Haier Smart Home were selected.
At the same time, the career choices of working people over 35 years old are obviously differentiated. The most ideal company type for 47.7% of working professionals over 35 years old is a "rapidly growing startup company", and 43.2% want to work in a large state-owned enterprise. Compared with those under the age of 30, those over the age of 35 are more willing to enter new hot industries such as new energy vehicles and artificial intelligence.
In the past three years, huge uncertainty has damaged market confidence. In 2023, the end of the epidemic has become the greatest certainty. Goldman Sachs predicted in the "China 2023 Outlook" report that China's economy is likely to show obvious "two halves" next year. The full-year GDP growth rate will accelerate from 3.0% in 2022 to 4.5% in 2023, with the first half of the year being weak and the second half being strong.
Maimai founder and CEO Lin Fan Lin Fan believes that with the recovery of the economy and the deep integration of the digital and real economies, the migration of mid-to-high-end talents will accelerate in 2023. But Lin Fan admitted that entering a new track does not mean immediate high returns, especially for professionals who leave the Internet and go to a new track, and even need to be prepared for a salary cut.
