The
u-turn
in
hiring
policy,
first
reported
by
Chinese
media
and
later
confirmed
by
the
company,
underscores
Sinovel’s
changing
fortunes
in
the
industry.
Sinovel
had
originally
planned
to
hire
more
than
800
graduates
in
a
recruitment
drive
at
Chinese
universities
last
autumn.
In
the
end
it
signed
agreements
with
about
400
students
who
were
set
to
start
work
in
various
departments
after
graduating
this
summer.
But
this
week
Sinovel
alerted
350
of
those
students
that
it
was
cancelling
their
posts.
Sinovel
staff
say
the
agreements
with
the
graduates
were
not
full
employment
contracts…
