Hired China

What Hired China does

HiredChina is a Shenzhen-headquartered private company operating a bilingual (English/Chinese) online recruitment marketplace that connects Chinese enterprises with international and foreign talent. The platform enables job seekers to search and apply for positions while employers post jobs, access a database of more than 190,000 foreign resumes, and engage directly with candidates. HiredChina's underlying technology is a web and mobile (iOS/Android) marketplace platform with online IM and video resume capabilities and a "job authenticity verification" workflow; the company does not expose public APIs or developer documentation.

The company generates revenue through four primary streams: (i) subscription-style job posting services for employers, (ii) subscription access to the foreign talent and resume database, (iii) professional-services executive search and headhunting for senior placements, and (iv) transaction/event-based recruitment via job fairs and themed hiring events. It serves two primary customer segments: Chinese enterprises seeking to hire global talent for domestic and overseas operations, and foreign professionals seeking employment in China. Named enterprise customers span education (Westlake University, Youpeng International), manufacturing (LUXSHARE, Techik Instrument), logistics (Kerry Logistics, Jiashunda Logistics), consumer goods (TEMU, HANVON UGEE, BETTER LIFE), pharmaceutical (Dashenlin Pharmaceutical), energy (Goldwind), and apparel (UNITED APPAREL), indicating a heterogeneous customer base.

To support cross-border recruitment, HiredChina operates localized general offices in the United States, Germany, Australia, Indonesia, Japan, and Vietnam alongside its Shenzhen headquarters (702, Block B, Tianan Technology Pioneer Park, Futian District). It claims 20+ years of high-end headhunting experience since 2004, serves 50,000 corporate users, has connected with 600,000+ foreign talents across 123 countries, and runs an event channel including the Hainan Free Trade Port International Talent Recruitment Fair. The firm is privately held with no disclosed external investors, no disclosed management team in the source data, and no public funding history or audited financials.

Direct peers

• Liepin: Chinese executive search and mid-to-senior professional recruitment platform. Comparable to HiredChina's high-end headhunting and 'Executive Service' offerings and to its subscription-based employer model.
• eChinaCareers: Niche international job board focused on placing foreign professionals in roles with Chinese companies and schools. Closely comparable to HiredChina's specific positioning in cross-border/foreign-talent recruitment for Chinese employers.
• BOSS Zhipin (Kanzhun): China's largest direct-to-consumer recruitment platform with mobile-first matching for Chinese enterprises and job seekers. Overlaps with HiredChina on Chinese-employer hiring and on platform-based recruitment, but is generalist rather than cross-border specialized.
• eHaiwai: Recruitment platform connecting Chinese employers with overseas Chinese and foreign talent. Directly comparable to HiredChina on cross-border hiring, job posting subscriptions, and resume database monetization.

Broad incumbents

• LinkedIn: Global professional network with deep talent profiles and recruiter tools. Comparable to HiredChina as a subscription-based recruiter channel with international candidate reach, though broader in scope and English-first.
• ChinaHR.com: Earlier-era Chinese recruitment site covering generalist roles. Overlaps with HiredChina on employer subscription and resume database access but lacks the cross-border foreign-talent specialization.
• 51job (NOW Qinuo): Long-established Chinese recruitment platform with broad employer reach across functions. Comparable business model (subscription job postings, resume database access) but serves a much larger and more generalist audience than HiredChina.
• Zhaopin (Recruit Group): Major Chinese recruitment and employer branding platform under Recruit Group. Comparable subscription and ATS-adjacent offerings but oriented to high-volume domestic hiring rather than cross-border international talent.

Emerging players

• China Teaching Jobs / ESL Jobs Boards (e.g., Reach to Teach): Specialized English-teacher placement services into China. Comparable to a meaningful subset of HiredChina's current job mix (English teachers, lecturers), making it a niche competitor in the same vertical.

Regional players

• Robert Walters: International professional recruitment firm with strong Asia presence and executive search practice. Comparable to HiredChina's headhunting and executive search revenue stream and to its cross-border placement use cases for Chinese enterprises.
