China news portal eeo.com.cn reported Tuesday that Foxconn’s Longhua plant in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, is actively recruiting new workers to meet increased demand.
The report noted that other Apple supply chain partners have also stepped up hiring efforts, with some offering higher referral bonuses to attract talent.
