Chinese tech giants are aggressively recruiting fresh graduates, particularly those with artificial intelligence (AI) skills, as the autumn hiring season intensifies. Companies like ByteDance and Alibaba have significantly increased their recruitment quotas for AI-related roles amid a growing talent shortage in the sector.

• ByteDance increased its R&D hiring quota by 23 percent year-on-year, offering over 5,000 jobs.
• Alibaba has made over 7,000 job openings available, with more than 60 percent closely related to AI technologies.
• A McKinsey & Company report projects China's demand for AI talent to rise sixfold to 6 million by 2030, facing a projected shortage of 4 million people.
• Companies are offering competitive compensation and perks, such as JD's 7 billion yuan ($974 million) investment in fully furnished apartments for interns and employees in Beijing.
