HAIKOU, China, Oct. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

South China's Hainan Free Trade Port launched a global talent recruitment fair

in Haikou on October 24, signaling to the world that the island is eager to

have more talented individuals settle here.

Compared with previous such activities, this recruitment activity is more

flexible, has more and better defined job positions, has a greater range of

potential targets, and will run for a longer period of time.

According to Xia Chenge (Deputy Director of the provincial Talent Development

Bureau) the employers in the province who are currently looking for talented

individuals and key personnel to fill more than 36,000 job openings include

universities, scientific research institutes, key laboratories, hospitals,

state-owned enterprises, key project platforms and industrial parks. Among the

total job postings, there are more than 100 with an annual salary in excess of

CNY 1 million.

As for the Hainan Free Trade Port's 11 key industrial parks, they are hoping to

fill 11,496 job vacancies. Signifying the island province's demand for

professional and technical personnel, these postings—at around 30% of the total

number of openings—show a significant increase over previous such activities in

both the number of positions and the quality of those positions.

According to Director Xia, many of these positions are oriented towards people

from overseas or with overseas experience. In addition, this recruitment

activity's introduction of talented personnel is obviously industry oriented,

with the focus being on the province's leading industries (i.e. tourism, the

modern service industry, and high-tech, efficient tropical agriculture). This

then provides for a step forward to be taken in building a solid foundation for

the development of the Hainan FTP.

Starting from 2018, Hainan has successively formulated and introduced a series

of policies on talent taxation, settlement, real estate purchases, automobile

purchases, children's schooling, and medical insurance.

In terms of taxation, for high-end talented individuals and people working in

Hainan who are desperately needed for the development of the FTP, the actual

tax burden of personal income tax cannot exceed 15%. Anything above that is

exempt.

Foreign personnel in Hainan are now allowed to participate in 38 professional

qualification examinations including those for becoming registered architects

and licensed pharmacists. At the same time a total of 219 different

professional qualifications from overseas are now recognized throughout the

province.

In terms of the medical security, foreign talents and their spouses, immediate

family members and service personnel—regardless of nationality or household

registration—can enjoy the same basic medical insurance provided to urban and

rural residents of Hainan.

This recruitment activity will continue till June next year, and job seekers

can log in to the official website (www.ihnhr.com) to search for positions and

submit résumés.
