The demand for middle and senior personnel in the Vietnamese textile industry has increased by 50 per cent in the first quarter (Q1) of 2021, according to a recent report. The Free Trade Agreements (FTAs), especially the European Union-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA), have led to an increase in export orders for textile and garment enterprises in the country.

In addition, the situation in Myanmar has redirected orders into Vietnam, leading to increased demand in the textile and garment industry, especially in March 2021, said Navigos Group, Vietnam’s leading recruitment service provider, in its report. Compared to the same period in 2020, the demand in this industry has increased by about 50–60 per cent, especially for middle and senior management positions.

Textile and garment enterprises are looking to fill positions in both production and commercial office departments for Vietnam and other regions in Southeast Asia. Japanese and Korean job seekers are more preferred for the commercial office departments, while for production, the most sought-after candidates are Chinese, Sri Lankan and Indian, the report said.
