As artificial intelligence continues to drive industrial change in China, data shows that AI has emerged as the most competitive talent battleground of this year's spring recruitment season, with companies racing to hire skilled professionals amid surging demand.

随着人工智能持续驱动中国的产业变革，数据显示，AI已成为今年春季招聘季竞争最激烈的人才战场，在需求激增的背景下，各公司纷纷抢聘专业技能人才。

In the first two months of 2026, the number of AI-related job postings increased about twelvefold year-on-year, far exceeding the overall growth of the new economy sector. According to a report released recently by domestic recruitment platform Maimai, the share of AI-related positions among all new economy jobs jumped to 26.23 percent from 2.29 percent a year earlier.

2026年头两个月，AI相关岗位的招聘数量同比增长约十二倍，远远超过新经济行业的整体增幅。根据国内招聘平台脉脉最近发布的一份报告，AI相关职位在所有新经济职位中的占比从去年同期的2.29%跃升至26.23%。

The new economy sector refers to industries driven by technologies such as the internet, big data, cloud computing and AI, which give rise to new products, business models and formats.

新经济领域指的是由互联网、大数据、云计算和人工智能等技术驱动的行业，这些技术催生了新产品、新模式和新业态。

Amid soaring demand, a shortage of talent is becoming increasingly evident. As of the end of February, high-performance computing engineers were among the scarcest, with a supply-demand ratio of 1:7, meaning there was only one qualified candidate against every seven vacant positions, the report showed.

在需求激增的同时，人才短缺正变得日益明显。报告显示，截至2月底，高性能计算工程师属于最紧缺的岗位之一，供求比达到1:7，即每7个空缺职位只有1名合格候选人。

Other roles, such as simultaneous localization and mapping, navigation algorithms, and cloud computing, are also facing a crisis of talent, it noted.

报告指出，其他如即时定位与地图构建、导航算法、云计算等岗位也面临人才告急。

The growing popularity of OpenClaw's open-source AI agent has further fueled demand for roles related to AI applications. According to data from recruitment portal Zhaopin, the number of AI-related job postings surged 455 percent year-on-year in the first three weeks after the Spring Festival holiday.
