Hangzhou will host the 2020 online employment fair during the ongoing epidemic, according to an announcement made by the Hangzhou human resource and social security bureau on Feb 18.

The online fair will offer recruitment services for Hangzhou companies for free. By doing so, the Hangzhou human resource and social security bureau hopes to help alleviate the shortage of workers caused by the virus outbreak which is facing the city’s companies.

The fair will offer more than 30,000 jobs in marketing, architectural engineering, management, human resources, computing software, procurement and logistics.

A total of 1,473 companies have registered for the fair, including Hangzhou Saicom, Bank of Hangzhou Consumer Finance Co Ltd, Zhejiang Strong Group, and Transfar Group, among others.
