Taiwanese technology firm Foxconn has launched a massive recruitment drive to fill 20,000 positions in a Northern Chinese plant to meet orders for next-generation smartphones, according to Chinese media reports.
People’s Daily Online reported that the plant, in Shanxi Province capital Taiyuan, already has a workforce of 51,000 but needs more workers to staff new production lines following a ¥3.2bn (£310m) investment.
The publication quoted a human resources executive, who declined to be named, as saying expansion was expected to continue until 2016 and the company needed as many labourers as possible.
The report said the company assembles products for brands including Apple, Sony and Nokia, and that it employs an estimated 1.2m people in China.
