A local news report from China has found that Foxconn, a major Apple supplier, is planning on expanding its recruitment efforts this week following strong sales of the iPhone 13 series.
Apparently, the Foxconn iDPBG business group’s plant in Zhengzhou, China, announced a new recruitment plan earlier this week (Via ITHome). This plan included a 30 percent rise in its bonus while hiring. Notably, the reason for this rise is due to pressure from global inflation and other factors. Thus, the Zhengzhou factory has increased the bonus and recruited workers as well. But, another reason for Foxconn raising workers is due to strong sales of the Apple iPhone 13 series.
Furthermore, the Cupertino based giant is also cooperating with the Zhengzhou evaluation and research to ensure that its current top end iPhone 14 series has smooth supply and launch in the second half of this year. With the ongoing shortage of semiconductors and raw materials, consumer electronic brands have been struggling to keep up with demand due to supply constraints. So it arrives as no surprise that Apple is closely involved with one of its major iPhone manufacturers.
Through this increased bonus, the iPhone maker plans to make sure that its next gen smartphone sees stable production even in off seasons as well. The bonuses will act as incentives for an unspecified number of workers. As of right now, the iPhone 13 series is still seeing robust sales, with the Pro models having strong demand. At the moment, the iPhone 13 Pro series has seen an increased production size of 10 million units over its original plan.
