So, what are the effective ways for Tianjin to recruit foreigners?

International Shipping Forum: A Stage to Gather Shipping Elites

Tianjin has unique port advantages and is the largest comprehensive port and foreign trade port in northern China, the shipping industry is booming. Every year, Tianjin holds an international shipping forum, which attracts experts, scholars and business executives from the global shipping field.

For Tianjin's shipping companies, logistics companies and related research institutions, the International Shipping Forum is an excellent opportunity to recruit foreign shipping talents.

Through in-depth exchanges with foreign experts and scholars participating in the conference, companies can understand their professional insights and latest research results in shipping technology, market analysis, port management, etc. For example, a large shipping company in Tianjin met a port planning expert from the Netherlands at the forum. He has rich experience in port intelligent construction and green port development. After negotiation, the expert was attracted by the development prospects and innovative ideas of the enterprise, and finally joined the enterprise, providing strong technical support for the upgrading of the port business of the enterprise.

Overseas Tianjin Chamber of Commerce: Building a Bridge for Talent Introduction

With the continuous strengthening of exchanges and cooperation between Tianjin and other parts of the world, overseas Tianjin Chamber of Commerce came into being. These chambers of commerce bring together many Tianjin nationals who are developing overseas and international friends who are concerned about the development of Tianjin. They have extensive network resources and rich business experience.

Tianjin enterprises can actively establish contacts with overseas Tianjin chambers of commerce, release recruitment information through the platform of the chambers of commerce, and introduce Tianjin's development opportunities and the employment needs of enterprises. The Chamber of Commerce can pass on the recruitment information to local foreign professionals and potential talents through its own channels. At the same time, the Chamber of Commerce can also organize talent exchange activities and invite representatives of enterprises in Tianjin to have face-to-face communication and negotiation with foreign talents. For example, an overseas Tianjin Chamber of Commerce organized a special job fair for Tianjin's financial technology industry, which attracted many financial technology experts from the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries. Through exchanges with these experts, a financial technology company in Tianjin successfully recruited an American talent with rich experience in blockchain technology research and development, which brought new opportunities for the company's technological innovation and business development.

International Science and Technology Cooperation Park: Cradle of Incubating Innovative Talents

Tianjin has several international science and technology cooperation parks, these parks focus on cutting-edge fields such as artificial intelligence, biomedicine, and new energy, attracting many domestic and foreign scientific research institutions and innovative enterprises to settle in. The international science and technology cooperation park provides a good innovation environment and cooperation platform for enterprises and researchers, and promotes international scientific and technological exchanges and cooperation.

For science and technology enterprises in Tianjin, the international science and technology cooperation park is an important channel for recruiting foreign science and technology talents. International science and technology seminars, project matchmaking meetings and other activities are often held in the park. Enterprises can establish contacts with foreign researchers by participating in these activities. In addition, the park has established cooperative relations with foreign universities and scientific research institutions to carry out joint R & D projects and personnel training programs. Enterprises can use these cooperation projects to introduce foreign outstanding scientific research talents. For example, a biomedical company in Tianjin carried out a joint research and development project with a German scientific research institution in the International Science and Technology Cooperation Park. During the project cooperation process, the company met a German scientist with outstanding achievements in the field of gene editing. After negotiation, the scientist joined the company and brought international leading technology and ideas to the company's biomedical research and development projects.

International cultural exchange activities: attracting cultural and creative talents

These events attract artists, designers, cultural planners and other cultural and creative talents from all over the world. Cultural enterprises in Tianjin can set up exhibition areas at the event site to display their cultural and creative products and projects, and exchange and cooperate with foreign cultural and creative talents. By understanding their creative ideas and artistic styles, companies can find talents that are compatible with their own cultural and creative projects. For example, at an international art exhibition, a cultural and creative company in Tianjin met a sculptor from Italy. The sculptor's work combines modern art and traditional craftsmanship with a unique artistic charm. The company had in-depth communication with the sculptor and invited him to participate in the design of the company's urban sculpture project, which added a touch of bright color to the urban cultural construction of Tianjin.

Overseas Social Media and Professional Network Platforms: Accurately Locating Target Talents

In the digital age, overseas social media and professional networking platforms have become important tools for people to communicate and share information. LinkedIn (LinkedIn), GitHub and other professional platforms have a large number of global users, including many outstanding foreign professionals.

Tianjin enterprises can create official accounts on these platforms, publish enterprise trends, recruitment information and cultural content, and attract the attention of foreign talents. At the same time, using the platform's search and screening functions, companies can accurately locate foreign talents that meet the requirements based on professional skills, work experience, and location. For example, a software development company in Tianjin wanted to recruit foreign engineers with extensive mobile application development experience. Enterprises can search for relevant open source projects and developers on GitHub, and screen out potential talents by looking at their code contributions and project experience. Then, enterprises can take the initiative to get in touch with these talents, introduce the development of enterprises and recruitment needs, and invite them to join the team of enterprises.

Tianjin has rich ways and unique advantages in recruiting foreigners. By making full use of these channels, Tianjin enterprises can attract more outstanding foreign talents to join, inject new vitality into Tianjin's economic and social development, and promote Tianjin to show a more dazzling style on the international stage.
