Taiwan talent recruitment initiatives

Taiwan continues to implement domestic and international initiatives to facilitate talent recruitment and employment. Internationally, the TALENT TAIWAN platform has established its first overseas office in Palo Alto, Silicon Valley, to link the tech and venture capital sectors with Taiwan’s industrial resources, specifically targeting semiconductor and AI experts through visa and Employment Gold Card assistance.

Domestically, local governments are hosting targeted recruitment drives to address diverse employment needs. In Taipei, the Employment Service Office is organizing a three-day event from October 6 to October 8, featuring 17 companies and 471 job openings. These vacancies span industries such as retail, catering, childcare, and environmental engineering, with specific roles including night shift maintenance at YouBike and data analysis positions.

In Taichung, the Labor Affairs Bureau is hosting a specialized recruitment event on October 15 focused on senior citizens to support an aging society. This initiative connects middle-aged and elderly job seekers with 11 enterprises, offering 426 positions across the manufacturing, catering, and long-term care sectors. To encourage stability, the city provides incentives, including potential employment bonuses of up to 60,000 TWD for eligible retirees who maintain steady work for at least 30 days.
