The Shandong Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security recently introduced 10 measures to coordinate epidemic prevention and control in the new phase and stabilize employment.

Local governments are setting up working groups to ensure enterprises have access to employees and facilitate a speedy reopening of businesses and production and provide good services for migrant workers returning to work or landing new jobs after the Spring Festival holiday.

Local governments are asked to ensure optimal operations of public employment service agencies and gig markets.

Cities at or above the county level that can hold on-site recruitment activities should hold professional recruitment activities at least once a week and comprehensive recruitment activities at least once a month.

In places that are unable to hold offline activities for the time being, online job fairs should be organized, and more employment information should be directly disseminated to residential communities and provided to workers through public recruitment websites, official Wechat accounts, community service groups and other channels.

For local unemployed college graduates, registered unemployed people, people with employment difficulties or other employment service needs, the province will use big data matching and other means to provide employment service information through messages via SMS and Wechat, and other means.
