Domestic Chinese tyre companies in recruitment drive

Recently, several tyre manufacturers have released recruitment information, which is not enough to be strong evidence that China’s tyre industry is gradually recovering. However, the recruitment information shows that some Chinese tyre companies have not hesitated in the challenging environment.

The tyre companies that released the recruitment information this time do not involve foreign-funded brands, most of which are local Chinese tyre manufacturers, such as Aeolus, Linglong, Doublestar, Wanli, and Wanda Boto.

Some state-owned tyre companies have also launched campus recruitment, planning to recruit a group of highly educated talents from universities. Taking Aeolus as an example, the tyre manufacturer plans to recruit 15 employees with a master’s degree or above for product research and development positions. At the same time, candidates for quality management, equipment management, and safety and environment management need a bachelor’s degree or above.

In addition, several factories are hiring production operators. Although the factories are short of workforce, the wages of ordinary tyre workers have mostly stayed the same compared to a few years ago. In other words, labour demand has increased, but workers’ salaries have remained relatively low. A person in charge of recruitment at a tyre factory said that the workload of the workers in the moulding workshop is relatively high, and the salary level is also the highest among workers. It is reported that some companies offer a monthly minimum wage of 7,000 yuan for this position. In other factory workshops, the minimum salary for workers given in the recruitment information is mostly 4,000-4,500 yuan.
