Key Data Overview: In 2026, compensation in the new-energy sector is expected to continue rising steadily, characterized by pronounced segmentation across different sub-sectors, significant premium pay for core technical roles, and a severe shortage of senior talent. The average monthly salary for core technical positions across the industry is RMB 28,600, up 10%–15% year on year. Among these, cutting-edge fields such as energy storage and hydrogen energy lead the pack, with an average monthly salary of RMB 34,200, while mature sectors like photovoltaics and wind power see more stable pay, averaging RMB 24,800 per month. Core technical roles in the “three-electric” systems and whole-vehicle engineering for new-energy vehicles command an average monthly salary of RMB 31,500. The overall talent supply-to-demand ratio for the industry stands at 2.7:1, with particularly tight supply in energy-storage R&D, breakthroughs in photovoltaic technology, and core “three-electric” positions in new-energy vehicles, where the ratio dips as low as 1.1:1. Professionals with 3–5+ years of hands-on experience enjoy strong bargaining power over compensation, and there is a premium of more than 35% for candidates who combine technical expertise with managerial skills.

Today, the 3C consumer electronics industry has entered a phase of accelerated technological innovation and intensifying market competition. Iteration is speeding up across niche segments such as smartphones, smart wearables, smart homes, and digital accessories, leading to a growing talent gap for mid-to-high-end, multi-skilled professionals in areas like product R&D, supply-chain management, marketing operations, and brand management. Industry talent must combine technical expertise with market acumen; moreover, core talent is often deeply embedded in their current roles, making it difficult for conventional recruitment channels to reach them effectively. As a result, slow talent matching, heightened compliance risks, and insufficient confidentiality have become major pain points for companies in their hiring processes. Forestown specializes in the 3C consumer electronics sector, focusing on customized, high-end talent sourcing. Through end-to-end closed-loop services and rigorous compliance controls, Forestown helps companies build robust pipelines of core talent and overcome the challenges of attracting top-tier professionals.

The safety protection, smart security, and industrial safety sectors all fall under the core domains of public safety and enterprise operational assurance. While these three areas are interconnected in terms of business scope, they exhibit distinct differences in specific application scenarios and talent requirements. Safety protection focuses on public safety equipment, emergency rescue, personal protective equipment, and the implementation of security projects; smart security centers on digital and intelligent solutions such as AI-powered video surveillance, facial recognition, IoT-based security systems, smart security platforms, data security protection, and security system integration; industrial safety, by contrast, emphasizes vertical applications like factory production safety management, hazardous chemical safety management, industrial fire protection, equipment safety operation and maintenance, the establishment of safe production systems, and occupational health protection. All three tracks are characterized by stringent regulatory oversight, rapid technological iteration, and a high demand for highly specialized talent. Mid- to senior-level R&D, technical, engineering, and management professionals in these fields typically have many years of deep industry experience, resulting in a strong passive job-seeking orientation that makes it difficult for conventional recruitment channels to reach them effectively. As a result, specialized, industry-focused executive search firms have become critical channels for companies seeking to recruit talent with precision.

The consumer goods and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sectors cover the full spectrum of everyday consumer spending. FMCG focuses on high-turnover, high-repurchase, and densely distributed categories such as personal care and household cleaning products, snack foods, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, dairy products, and grains, oils, and seasonings, while consumer goods extend into broader categories like home and daily-use items, personal care and beauty products, maternal and infant supplies, and trendy consumer goods. Both sectors are characterized by intense market competition, rapid product iteration, and a strong emphasis on end-point execution. Core roles in these fields revolve around brand building, channel expansion, marketing, product development, supply-chain management, retail operations, e-commerce and new retail, and regional management. Mid-to-senior-level talent in the industry typically possesses robust offline channel networks, has successfully launched blockbuster products, and is well-versed in retail sales dynamics and team management. As a result, the proportion of passive job seekers is extremely high, and talent pools tend to circulate primarily within the industry, making it difficult for conventional recruitment channels to precisely reach this type of hands-on, core talent. Consequently, executive search firms that specialize in the consumer goods and FMCG sectors have become critical talent partners for companies seeking to capture market share, build strong brands, and assemble high-performing operational teams.
