New trends in management talent demand

New trends in demand for management talents

Anyone who often walks around in the talent market knows that two types of talents are extremely popular right now: professional and technical talents and senior management talents, among which technical talents In particular, computers and communications are in short supply, and the demand for management talents has also undergone some new changes.

With the strengthening trend of economic globalization, intensified market competition, and the advent of the knowledge economy, enterprises urgently need to further improve their management level to enhance their competitiveness. High-level talents who are good at operation, good at management, and understand technology have become The object that enterprises strive for. According to the analysis and statistics of the talent supply and demand rankings in the talent market in 16 provinces and cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Wuhan in 2000, management talents ranked fourth in the comprehensive talent demand ranking, becoming the most in demand in the talent market in various places. One of the popular talent types. Last year, Beijing openly recruited senior management talents nationwide with preferential treatment, which also showed its sincerity in waiting for management talents.

The analysis found that the recent demand for management talents has shown new trends in three aspects:

"Taiwan balm" management talents are outdated

Management In addition to being generally classified as "management" in local talent markets, many places have further subdivided management talents. It is understood that the top ten management talent categories in the local talent market rankings are: enterprise management, economic management, mid-to-senior management, project management, administrative management, administrative personnel, production management, quality inspection and product management, and management engineering , business management, service management, hotel management, property management, etc., which are the most subdivided among various talent categories. This reflects that with the development of various industries and the intensification of market competition, in order to improve the level of operation and management, enterprises have increasingly stronger requirements for professional operation and management. The "snake oil" managers in the past are being replaced by management experts with professional management knowledge and technology. As Peng Jianfeng, a professor at the School of Labor and Human Resources of the Renmin University of China, said: "Managers must evolve from amateur players to The transformation of professional players and players, from business experts to management experts.”

The increase in demand for personnel management talents is a typical manifestation of the trend of professionalization in the demand for management talents. In the past, human resources management was the position that required the least professional expertise, and it seemed that anyone could do it. Nowadays, with the transformation of enterprise personnel management to human resources development, the professionalism of personnel management is being valued by more and more enterprises. When recruiting personnel management personnel, many enterprises require applicants to have majors in labor personnel management or human resources development. Bachelor degree or above. The famous Shenzhen Huawei Company lists human resource development talents as in-demand professional talents that require special recruitment, along with engineering and technical talents such as computer communications. Nowadays, in the talent market, human resources management talents and financial management, computer, marketing and other talents are becoming hot spots for corporate recruitment.

New management talents are in the ascendant

With the development of market economy, some emerging industries are emerging, some new management positions have also emerged, and the demand for corresponding management talents is also increasing.

Market competition is mainly about product (service) quality competition. In order to improve product (service) quality, companies have strengthened corporate quality management, and quality management talents are becoming increasingly popular. After China's accession to the WTO, China's economy has been in line with international standards. Enterprises must strengthen their quality awareness, and their products and services must adapt to international standards and requirements. Against this background, more and more domestic companies have passed or are preparing to pass ISO9000 international quality system certification. At the same time, at job fairs large and small, some new terms have appeared in the recruitment positions of many companies, such as internal auditor, QM manager, QA (Quality Engineer), QC (Quality Controller), etc. These positions are professional and technical personnel closely related to the company's implementation of ISO9000 certification, and many require certificates to work.

The demand for other new management talents such as "property management", "logistics management", and "system analysts" has also begun to emerge in the talent market.

Among them, property management is an important area for the development of the real estate industry in the future. With the commercialization of housing, owners have increasingly higher requirements for property management, and the competition in the property management department has become increasingly fierce. Some places will implement a job certificate system for property managers, and there is no certain guarantee. Property management agencies with a large number of high-quality talent teams will be gradually eliminated, and property management talents will therefore become increasingly popular.

There is a shortage of middle and senior management talents.

There is a huge demand for management talents. Currently, in the comprehensive ranking of talent market supply in various regions, management talents also rank first. Generally speaking, the supply of management talents exceeds the demand. However, there are many talents applying for management positions, but there are not many senior management talents who truly meet the requirements of the employer and can solve the company's urgent needs.

In several recent talent exchange meetings, many companies have listed important positions such as vice president and general manager on their recruitment lists. Employers who are hungry for talents have their eyes bright, but there are only very few "general talents" who have come into their sight. Years ago, an investment company came to the New Century Senior Talent Exchange Meeting hosted by the Human Resources Department with high hopes, hoping to recruit an expert to return as CEO. Although the organizers have raised the bar very high, and only those with a master's degree or above and intermediate professional titles or above are eligible for admission, among the applicants gathered in the cloud, there are only a few talents with practical experience and who can quickly take on their own duties. However, the company ended up disappointed.

It is foreseeable that after joining the WTO, with the increase in international economic exchanges, the demand for high-quality comprehensive management talents who understand the rules of international competition and are familiar with the international business environment will increase significantly. Coupled with the competition for local management talents by foreign-funded enterprises, it is inevitable that the value of quality management talents will continue to rise.
