Online recruitment refers to companies publishing job vacancy information—including position requirements, work locations, competency criteria, and compensation—on the internet for job seekers' reference, thereby conducting recruitment activities through digital channels. Online recruitment websites utilize internet-related technologies to aggregate these recruitment postings, serving as platforms that facilitate connections between employers and job seekers.
From the demand perspective, information from online recruitment platforms reveals disparities in talent demand across industries, reflecting the overview of labor market supply-demand matching in China to some extent. From the supply perspective, such data provides references for research on higher education reform and university graduate employment, thereby enhancing graduate employment matching efficiency, alleviating structural imbalances, and improving employment quality. More importantly, scholars can gain insights into the fundamental income levels across regions and industries in China through massive nationwide recruitment data.
The CnOpenData team has launched the Online Recruitment Website Information Database, covering multiple recruitment platforms. It includes fields such as Company Name (公司名称), Company Address (公司地址), Industry (行业), Work Location (工作地点), Position (岗位), Job Description (职位描述), Compensation (待遇), Benefits (福利待遇), Experience Requirement (经验), Education Requirement (学历), Number of Openings (招聘人数), and Posting Date (发布时间).
