ChinaTechNews reports that the Chinese online recruitment industry is facing a grim outlook. On one hand, the price war among Chinese recruitment websites led to the profit decline of these companies and will continue to do so. On the other hand, these companies continued to invest huge resources in marketing. In 2008, the two Chinese leading recruitment websites ChinaHR.com, a Monster property and Zhaopin.com were listed as the top 50 advertisers in China's Internet industry with advertising costs of CNY300 million and CNY270 million, respectively.

In addition, the financial crisis affected the performance of recruitment websites. The total revenue of China's Internet recruitment market in 2008 was CNY1.1 billion, an increase of 13.6% compared with the CNY970 million in 2007, but the growth slowed obviously. Due to the global financial crisis, the number of companies who used the Internet recruitment method decreased and those who adopted this method also cut their budget for recruitment.
