Xiaomi goes on a hiring spree to catch up with YU7 demand

Xiaomi launched its second EV, the YU7, just a few days ago, and the HR team is now scrambling to find new workers to expand its operation. Currently, the company relies on a still-expanding factory near Beijing, and it appears that phase two is nearing completion. And since the expansion is almost over, it's time to hire new workers.

According to information directly from the HR team, Xiaomi is hiring a wide range of staff, including general workers, operators, and even truck drivers. The age range is between 18 and 38, with a daily wage of around RMB 230 ($32) for an 11-hour workday.

Xiaomi is feeling the production capacity crunch since day one of launching its Xiaomi SU7 EV, and now that the Xiaomi YU7 is an instant success with estimated 280,800-315,900 locked in orders in the first 72 hours, it's no surprise Xiaomi is in dire need of new workers to meet demand.

Xiaomi has been consistently delivering more than 20,000 vehicles per month, and with phase two of the EV factory almost complete, that number is expected to double soon.
