Four of China’s biggest technology titans have each kicked off massive recruitment drives on thousands of college campuses across China, despite Beijing authorities’ historic crackdown on the sector that continues to disrupt business.

In the past two months, TikTok owner ByteDance, on-demand delivery service Meituan and e-commerce giants JD.com and Alibaba Group Holding, owner of the South China Morning Post, have all launched recruitment campaigns for 2022. Alibaba called its recruitment drive the company’s “largest ever”, according to a statement on July 20, with 113 available positions, 45 of which are open to new graduates for the first time.
