At the same time, China’s major recruitment platforms – many of which had already started a digital push – are speeding up their development of newer functions like video interviews and live streaming to match qualified candidates with suitable employers under more restricted hiring conditions.

Chinese tech giants Tencent and Baidu are among the companies that have announced that they will only be engaging in “contactless” hiring amid the pandemic.
