Chengdu has Become a Preferential Destination for IT Professionals

CHENGDU, China, June 1, 2011 -

Chengdu Tianfu Software Park (tianfusoftwarepark.com), the largest
professional software park in China, co-organized with Chengdu HI-tech Zone,
held a medium and high-end talent recruitment fair in Beijing. Over 500
screened candidates cannot wait to go looking for development opportunities
in the core city of western China, Chengdu. "I will not only investigate the
individual employment situation in Chengdu, but also want to bring my venture
team to the city," said Mr. Lai Yangjian. He believes that in terms of talent
reserve and industrial environment, his team can get better development
opportunities in Chengdu than in Beijing.

Chengdu was rated by Forbes Magazine as one of the world's
fastest-growing cities in the next decade, and named as the top investment
destination in China by the American Chamber of Commerce from 2008 to 2010.
Chengdu attaches great importance to developing the software and IT services
industry. It seizes the opportunity of domestic and international industrial
transfer after the global financial crisis, making the annual growth rate of
its software and IT services industry reach more than 35% for 5 years in a
row.

A large number of leading companies such as IBM, Ericsson, Siemens,
Intel, Dell and EMC, have settled in Chengdu. Local IT companies also develop
explosively. At present, near 200 Global Fortune 500s have presence in the
city, 11 of the world's 20 best software enterprises have already settled
here. "The reverse brain drain has the following reasons. First, local
talents have re-recognized the development potential of the western region.
Second, the high tempo, high pressure and high cost of living in first-tier
cities, such as Beijing and Shanghai, also make more and more talents flow
from the first-tier cities to second-tier cities like Chengdu," said an
expert. He believes that in 2011, Chengdu will be the preferential
destination for all kinds of talents flowing to the western region.

From May to August, such Recruitment fairs will be held in Beijing,
Shanghai, Guangzhou, Dalian and other large coastal cities to provide medium
and high-end IT talents a platform to seek jobs and development opportunities
in Chengdu. More than 100 companies, including Maersk, Ericsson, GE, TCL and
ASM, will participate in the recruitment activities. It is expected that the
recruitment activities will provide 1,500 positions and more than 6,000 jobs
to jobseekers.
