Beijing-based TikTok owner ByteDance plans to open another 10,000 jobs by the end of the year, on top of the nearly 30,000 hires it has already made in China this year, TechWeb reported Wednesday, adding that ByteDance's total workforce will top 100,000 when the new hiring is complete.
In March, ByteDance had said that it expects its global workforce to grow from 60,000 to 100,000 by the end of the year. Based on those hiring plans, ByteDance will already be able to achieve that goal with the number of new employees it will add in China this year alone.
In March, ByteDance's education business announced that it expects to hire more than 10,000 people throughout the year.
Twice this year, during the spring and fall hiring seasons, ByteDance opened more than 6,000 jobs for recent college graduates, totaling more than 12,000 fresh college graduates for the year.
According to third-party recruiting websites, ByteDance's new jobs are mainly in emerging businesses such as education, gaming and e-commerce.
In addition to first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, ByteDance also continues to expand its team in second-tier cities such as Wuhan, Chengdu, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Xi'an, Xiamen, Chongqing, Taiyuan and Zhengzhou.
