Tips

register
In Chinese workplaces, HR is read aloud as the English letters 'H-R' (èichì-àr) and is far more common in everyday speech than the formal 人力资源 (rénlì zīyuán). Often refers to a specific person (the recruiter calling you) rather than the department.
culture
On Boss, 智联招聘, and similar platforms, candidates typically chat directly with HR — China's job market is unusually HR-direct compared to Western 'apply to a portal' models. The phrase HR微信 (add the HR on WeChat) is standard in job hunting.
