(Yicai Global) March 6 -- Chinese tech titan Tencent Holdings will increase its recruitment by one-quarter compared to last year, including more positions in its online healthcare and e-office software segments in response to the Covid-19 outbreak, per a statement the Shenzhen-based tech giant released today.

The epidemic will otherwise not affect its ongoing spring recruitment, which features 5,000 new jobs for experienced workers and another 3,000 vacancies for recent graduates, the firm said.
