Google has posted job openings for the Chinese Mainland.
The Internet behemoth Alphabet Inc. is trying hard to pave its way again to China. The company bid farewell to the region and moved to Hong Kong since it had a tussle with the Chinese authorities, according to the media reports.
The rumors regarding the search engine giant making its way to China were confirmed when the company posted several job openings on their social media platform. On LinkedIn, the popular professional social media platform, it came up with as much as 60 job vacancies at its Beijing and Shanghai office.
Initially, a few job openings were posted in December but with time, the initiative gained momentum. Now, it seems like it has posted a deluge of vacancies. It claims that whatever it does is usually big and grand.
So far, the company has not made any official announcement regarding its comeback in the Chinese Mainland. According to the report, it has not announced about its comeback but its job openings clearly highlight that soon it will make a formal announcement regarding its entry.
From executives to interns, Google is now hunting for a variety of designations. These job openings are for customer services, technical support, creative development, corporate relations, sales, marketing, software development, and business development.
The tech giant bid farewell to the region earlier in 2010 and put a halt to all its operational activities. It has neither declined nor accepted the reports of a comeback to date. However, the sources close to the organization have hinted that it will make an announcement during the first half of 2016.
The executive chairman of Alphabet, Mr. Eric Schmidt, stated in November that Google has still 500 individuals employed in the Chinese Mainland. Most of these people are rendering their services to Chinese clients who wish to take their service global. The departments presently operational is marketing, development and research.
An analyst at Forrester Research who is stationed in China, Mr. Gene Cao, claims that the recruitment drive by Google is due to its interest in the local app store industry. Most of the personnel are hired for Google Play, including engineers for mobile apps and managers for business development.
“But I doubt whether it can take a big pie from local players. The company has already missed out the highs in the country’s smartphone industry, when sales peaked,” Mr. Cao claimed. Competitors should beware such silent returns of giant corporations.
