QINGDAO -- As China's e-commerce sector develops rapidly, the livestreaming industry has ushered in a period of rapid growth, with increased demand for talent and the creation of more than 30 new occupations within the industry.

An emerging occupation is live-streaming recruiter, which has become a new trend in employee hiring in Qingdao. To provide job seekers with a better understanding of potential jobs, live-streaming recruiters create livestreaming rooms that replicate actual workplaces.
"They will instantly know their work environment once they come to my channel. For example, I tell them that workers at a wheel hub plant will earn around 6,000 to 10,000 yuan (about 832.5 to 1,387.5 U.S. dollars)(per month). Seeing the uniform and the workplace setup helps them get a personal feel," said Yan Wei, a livestreaming recruiter in Qingdao.
Livestreaming recruiters bridge the gap between employers and employees by conducting audits and verifying qualifications before matching candidates with suitable employers.
"The live recruiting team classifies enterprises based on their qualifications. For instance, some enterprises have high employment rates but low retention. We need to conduct market research beforehand and screen employers to ensure we are responsible for job seekers," said Yan.
