Beijing Employers Seek International Student Hiring Plans for 2026

In a bid to augment the workforce with global talent, employers in Beijing have been invited to submit their plans for hiring international graduates for the year 2026. This call for proposals aligns with the new employment measures set forth by the Ministry of Education's Study Abroad Service Center, aiming to harness the skills of overseas graduates.

According to the regulations established by the Study Abroad Service Center, organizations seeking to recruit international students in Beijing must fulfill specific criteria detailed in the "Implementation Measures for Employment and Residency of Non-Beijing Local Returned Overseas Students in Beijing." This includes ensuring that the employers have completed the necessary filing procedures at the Center.

The designated application window for submissions will open from January 5, 2026, to January 25, 2026. During this period, employers are expected to log into the employment and household registration system to submit their proposed recruitment plans.

The required materials for submission will include the "Application Report for the 2026 Demand Plan for Employing International Students in Beijing." This report should detail the employer's main business activities, current staffing levels, and future recruitment strategies, and it must be certified by the organization's human resources department.

In their applications, employers should provide an overview of their current personnel who meet the specific requirements outlined for returning overseas students. Additionally, they must include information regarding their employment and residency processing for the years 2023 to 2025.

The declaration of demand plans must adhere to principles aimed at fostering a truthful and competitive recruitment process. Employers are encouraged to provide accurate data regarding their hiring needs and to prioritize candidates demonstrating exceptional academic and professional credentials.

Moreover, employers are advised to ensure that the recruitment outcomes reflect the actual staffing requirements, facilitating a good fit between job roles and candidates based on comprehensive assessments.

It is crucial for the annual demand plans for 2026 to be submitted online, as the Center will not accept physical copies of these declarations. Failure to submit the necessary online declaration within the specified timeline will preclude the unit from accessing related employment settlement services in Beijing for that year.

The approval results concerning the demand declarations for 2026 will be communicated following the relevant provisions. Employers are encouraged to monitor the employment registration section of the China Study Abroad website and to check their accounts for notifications about their application outcomes.

The Ministry of Education's Study Abroad Service Center continues to play an essential role in facilitating the integration of international graduates into the Beijing job market. For further inquiries, employers may contact the consultation hotline or visit the Center's office directly.
