CCTV News: As spring comes, enterprises resume work and labor force return to work, and the employment market has entered an active period. The reporter sorted out the data provided by local human resources and social security departments and recruitment platforms, and found that the supply and demand of talents in the fields of artificial intelligence and robots were booming, and the spring recruitment market ushered in a "AI boom" in the spring of 2025.

Recruitment platform data shows that in the spring recruitment in 2025, the number of job seekers in the artificial intelligence industry increased by 33.4% year-on-year. The year-on-year growth rate of recruitment of robot algorithm engineers and debugging engineers has exceeded 30%. Judging from the recruitment requirements, 52% of robot algorithm engineer positions require a master's degree, and 45% require more than 3 years of work experience.

From the industry distribution, the most recruiting robot algorithm positions are artificial intelligence (24.1%), large-scale equipment electromechanical (12.8%), electronic technology (7.3%), industrial automation (5.9%), automobile manufacturing (5%) and other industries. At the same time, the market's demand for AI knowledge dissemination and talent training has surged, driving the recruitment of artificial intelligence lecturers to increase by 112.4% year-on-year.

At job fairs in many places, algorithm engineers and robot research and development talents are the "hot cakes" that enterprises are competing for. Cities such as Hangzhou and Shenzhen have become highlands of AI talents gathering with their advantages in industrial clusters.

At the first large-scale offline talent recruitment fair in Hangzhou in the spring, 830 companies launched 21,000 positions. Among them, half of them focus on AI algorithms and large-scale model development.

In order to attract high-tech talents, various places have also introduced a series of preferential policies. Chengdu Hi-Tech Zone has launched the "AI Talent Settlement Subsidy", and Wuhan Optics Valley has included AI skills training in the "New Craftsman Plan".

It is worth noting that small and medium-sized AI enterprises have become a new force to absorb talents. Data shows that the recruitment demand for AI companies with less than 100 people increased by 61% year-on-year, and some positions even showed the phenomenon of "one person and multiple positions". High-end manufacturing industry favors skilled talents

The recruitment market for artificial intelligence and robots is very hot, but the development of high-end manufacturing industry is also booming. It is understood that the spring recruitment market in 2025 will show a trend of "leading technical positions", and skilled talents have become the key support for enterprises to expand production and upgrade.

From the data of multiple recruitment platforms, the demand for recruitment in high-end manufacturing increased by 5.9% year-on-year. In the gathering places for drone assembly and testing jobs such as Dongguan and Wuhan, the recruitment demand increased by 82.7% year-on-year, and the average salary of industrial automation jobs increased by 12% year-on-year. The proportion of positions involving autonomous driving technology has increased significantly. The intelligent transformation of enterprises has driven the demand for front-end development positions by 8%, and the salary of operations and maintenance support positions has increased by 9.8% compared with the same period last year.

In Hohhot, the recruitment positions of more than 300 companies focus on 15 industry fields including electronic information, new energy, new materials, biomedicine, and low-altitude economy.

Shenzhen's "Nanyue Spring Warm" intelligent manufacturing industry special job fair, 72 companies provided thousands of high-quality positions, covering multiple fields such as smart manufacturing and new energy vehicles. The upgrade of the service industry has given birth to new occupations

It is understood that the service industries such as housekeeping services and property security are changing from "labor-intensive" to ensure basic life to "skilled professional" that provides personalized services, and have given birth to a number of new occupations

At Nanning's 2025 "Spring Breeze Action" and special event for employment in the real economy, the position of hospital caregivers has attracted much attention.

In traditional industries such as housekeeping, distribution and cargo collection, property security, etc., the year-on-year growth rate of recruitment is about 20%. Among them, new professions such as "smart building administrator" and "smart home operation and maintenance engineer" have quietly emerged. Traditional cleaning and nanny have also turned to "housekeeper service", and the stronger the professional skills, the better the employment. Retaining people in small cities, and the attractiveness of talents in third- and fourth-tier cities has increased

The data from the job search platform shows that with the development of the economy and the improvement of the employment environment, third- and fourth-tier cities are becoming more and more popular, and many job seekers choose to find jobs at their doorstep. What are the reasons behind "staying people in a small town"?

Compared with 2024, the proportion of talents in third- and fourth-tier cities expect to continue to maintain a growth trend in their local work.

It is understood that many small and medium-sized cities have created more jobs by undertaking industrial transfer and developing characteristic industries. The relatively low cost of living in small and medium-sized cities and other reasons have also made more and more talents choose to stay in their hometowns.

In the 2025 "Spring Breeze Action" job promotion activity for returning home and staying in the city, machinery manufacturing, electronic information, food processing, housekeeping services and other industries provide more than 2,000 positions.

In Leiyang, Hunan, the development of county consumption has promoted the rapid growth of distribution business. This inn recruits more than 60 couriers a month, and the recruitment requirements are relatively broad for age and education, which attracts many people who originally worked outside to apply.

In Ji'an, Jiangxi, the "offline setting up points + live broadcast leading posts" method attracts efficient matching of talents and positions. And according to actual conditions, we will develop flexible working hours to meet the needs of job hunting for special groups.
