On October 22, 2026, 51job released Q3 2026 e-commerce recruitment data. According to a same-day report by Shangguan News, the report shows that customer service and basic design positions, affected by replacement by intelligent customer service and AIGC, exhibit "volume present while prices fall"; algorithm, data analysis and cross-border e-commerce operations positions exhibit "both volume and prices rising," with high salaries concentrating in four types of functions: algorithm technology, cross-border management, data composite, and AI ad placement. The report also outlines three major characteristics of Double 11 recruitment black-market activities: exploiting the occasion for disguise, private-domain closed loops, and quick decisive action, and advises job seekers to hold three bottom lines: do not readily believe low-threshold high-salary offers, do not pay fees in advance, and do not leak sensitive information. There is currently no subsequent development.

51job Releases 2026 Q3 E-commerce Micro-Observations: AI and Overseas Expansion Drive Pay Divergence and Talent Upgrading
51job released its Q3 2026 e-commerce recruitment data: customer service and basic design roles, affected by replacement from intelligent customer service and AIGC, show "volume present but prices falling," while algorithm, data analysis and cross-border e-commerce operations roles show "both volume and prices rising," with high salaries concentrating in four functional areas: algorithm technology, cross-border management, data composites and AI ad placement. The report also outlines three characteristics of Double 11 recruitment scams that exploit the occasion—disguise, private-domain closed loops and quick-strike tactics—and advises job seekers to hold three bottom lines: do not readily trust low-threshold, high-pay offers; do not pay fees in advance; and do not disclose sensitive information.
