Protecting Workers and Employers in the Job Market

The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and the Office of the Central Cyberspace Affairs Commission have joined forces to enhance the management of the human resources market, aiming to safeguard the rights of both workers and employers. This initiative tackles several critical issues that disrupt the job market, including deceptive recruitment advertising, disclosure of job seekers' personal information, job discrimination, and illegal fee charging.

To ensure a fair and transparent job market, the government will implement stricter regulations for human resources agencies. This includes tightening market access and verifying the quality of their recruitment events. Additionally, data security measures will be enhanced to protect job seekers' personal information. Employers will also be required to improve the accuracy and clarity of their recruitment information, preventing discriminatory advertisements based on gender, age, or educational background.

Unreasonable or illegal fee charging by human resources agencies will be strictly prohibited. These agencies will be obligated to publish clear fee charging standards, ensuring transparency and fairness in the job market. To further protect job seekers, the government will publicize cases that violate human resources regulations or labor laws, raising awareness of potential risks during the job search process.

The government also emphasizes the importance of individual credibility. Job seekers are encouraged to be honest and truthful in their applications, providing accurate personal information. By working together, the government, human resources agencies, employers, and job seekers can create a more ethical and efficient job market that benefits everyone involved.
