The eastern Chinese coastal city of Qingdao plans to hire foreign scientists and highly skilled workers this year, authorities have said.
A guideline published by the city's human resource and social security bureau gives the green light to state-owned enterprises and institutions, as well as government departments under the city's administrative regions, to recruit qualified foreigners in permanent or short-term positions or hire them as technical directors or consultants.
An official at the bureau said on Monday that Qingdao is seeking strategic scientists who have the capability to attain major scientific breakthroughs and lead the trend in science or scientists engaged in research of frontier issues or cross-discipline studies.
Qingdao is also looking for scientists who are capable of making major technological innovations, management talent who can help its enterprises explore international markets, and other skills that are badly needed by the city.
The bureau said it would select a list of institutions or departments to pilot the program this year.
Officials would seek to attract foreign professionals through job fairs, international conferences and business exhibitions.
