Labor migration is one of the rapidly developing industries in Vietnam in recent years. With the economic growth and the development of various industries, the demand for labor has been increasing. Labor migration has created employment opportunities, stable income, and enhanced knowledge, skills, and experiences for millions of Vietnamese workers working abroad.
In the first 10 months of 2023, the number of Vietnamese workers going abroad for employment was 132,645, including 44,669 female workers. This figure has exceeded 120% of the 2023 plan for labor migration. Previously, the target for 2023 was to send 110 thousand Vietnamese workers abroad on contracts. Japan remains the leading market for receiving Vietnamese workers with 67,550 people, followed by Taiwan (China) with 50,862 workers, South Korea with 5,973 workers (including 272 female workers), China with 1,669 workers, and other markets. According to reports from businesses, the total number of workers who went abroad for employment in the past October was over 21.1 thousand people.
As a result, the market for labor migration recruitment websites in Vietnam is becoming increasingly vibrant and robust. With enhanced international cooperation and the growing demand from Vietnamese workers wanting to work abroad, these websites have become an important and effective source of information. They provide details about job opportunities, working conditions, salaries, and benefits for workers interested in labor migration. The development of the labor migration recruitment website market in Vietnam not only improves recruitment effectiveness but also creates stable employment opportunities and income for workers.
The labor migration recruitment website market can be divided into four main groups: Group of companies with outstanding revenue growth; Group of companies have been experiencing continuous revenue growth; Group of companies with fluctuating revenue; and Group of companies with shrinking revenue.

With the strong development of the labor migration industry, the demand for recruiting workers to go abroad is increasing, creating great opportunities for recruitment websites in this field. Websites can take advantage of this opportunity to expand their operations and provide better services to workers and businesses. However, the market is also facing many challenges. Fierce competition among recruitment websites makes it more difficult to attract users. At the same time, managing information and ensuring the accuracy of recruitment information is also a major challenge for websites in the context of increasingly diverse and complex labor sources. Therefore, in order to keep up with the overall growth of the labor migration industry, some labor migration recruitment websites need to invest in technology to improve user experience, as well as build a tight and transparent information management system. In addition, building strong partnerships with businesses and authorities is also an important factor to help recruitment websites establish trust and credibility in the industry.
