Job Centres and Recruitment Centres

The Labour Department provides free job referral service for job seekers through a network of Job Centres. Telephones, fax machines, Vacancy Search Terminals and computers with Internet connection are available in the Job Centres to facilitate job seekers to search suitable jobs, prepare resumes and application letters. Job seekers may use the facilities provided there to complete the whole job-hunting process all at one stop. Job seekers may also meet employment officers to discuss their employment needs, to improve job seeking techniques, to obtain information on labour market and training/retraining courses, and/or to undergo career aptitude assessments as appropriate. Besides, the Labour Department has set up the Recruitment Centre for the Catering Industry, the Recruitment Centre for the Retail Industry, and the Construction Industry Recruitment Centre to provide free as well as one-stop and on-the-spot recruitment services for employers and job seekers.
