51job, Inc., incorporated in 2000, is a provider of recruitment and integrated human resource services in China. In addition to recruitment advertising services, the company also provides executive search and other complementary human resource related services, including training, proprietary software applications, business process outsourcing and salary surveys, for large and small employers. Its nationwide office network spans 26 cities in China.

Internet web-based applications and human resource software are critical aspects of 51job's services, in addition to print advertising. The majority of the company's revenue results from posting fees when employers place job advertisements on the 51job Weekly and on www.51job.com, as well as fees for employers accessing the company's resume database. [1] Print advertising generated 41.8% of revenue in 2008, compared to 33.5% of revenue associated with the online recruitment segment. [1]

With high economic growth and population in China, the recruitable labor market is growing and has driven growth in the company's revenue and net income despite the global economic downturn.
