The 28 firms are looking to recruit more than 1,000 people for a range of posts, such as production line workers, engineers, administrative personnel and salespersons, the bureau added.

A vice president's post with a monthly salary of NT$200,000 (US$6,509) is one of the more lucrative positions up for grabs, the bureau said, without naming the firm.
