Enter the '15-minute employment service circle': a community-powered solution that brings job opportunities literally to your doorstep. By placing employment hubs within a short walk of every neighborhood, it bridges the gap between talent and demand. On the show: Heyang, Steve Hatherly & Yushun

  • You've probably heard somebody say, there are no good jobs out there.

  • But employers are saying the opposite.

  • We can't find the right people.

  • This disconnect has a name, information asymmetry.

  • And now an initiative called the 15 Minute Employment Service Circle is stepping in to close this gap.

  • Could this be the future of job hunting right in your own neighborhood?

  • Coming to you live from Beijing, this is Roundtable.

  • I'm He Young.

  • For today's program, I'm joined by Steve Hatherly and Yuxuan in the studio,

  • first on today's show.

  • For anyone who has ever looked for a job,

  • the process can often feel isolating and overwhelming.

  • Endless online applications, uncertainty,

  • and a frustrating distance between you and actual, tangible help.

  • Now, imagine if getting professional career advice, finding local job openings,

  • or even signing up for skills training was as easy as walking into your neighborhood convenience store.

  • This is the vision behind a massive new project China,

  • the 15-minute employment service circle.

  • The goal is to build a web of accessible community-level service points to bring employment help right to people's doorsteps.

  • But what does this ambitious project actually look like on the ground?
