The report points out that from January to July 2023, China's automobile production and sales reached 15.65 million and 15.626 million respectively, with year-on-year growth of 7.4% and 7.9%, respectively. With the growth of automobile production and sales, the demand for recruitment in the industry has also increased, especially in the field of new energy vehicles where recruitment demand is rapidly increasing.
Many cities in China have actively laid out the new energy vehicle industry, which has driven the development of the urban automotive industry. The report points out that from January to July 2023, the number of recruitment positions in the new energy vehicle business sector increased by 18% year-on-year; The recruitment positions for state-owned car companies are mainly focused on design/manufacturing, and there is a high demand for sales positions in new car making forces; Electrical engineers have become the main force in the research and development of new energy vehicle companies, and there is a high demand for embedded software skills in the development of onboard systems.
