Hanoi Plans to Tie Talent Recruitment to Results on Key Projects
Hanoi is refining policies to recruit, employ and train highly skilled people, with evaluations tied to results on priority tasks. The city aims to support the training of about 1,000 PhD candidates from 2026 to 2030 and about 100 in 2026, with research focused on major challenges facing Hanoi.
Hanoi is refining its mechanisms for recruiting, employing and training highly skilled people, linking selection, compensation and training to priority projects, specific tasks and results. Dương Đức Tuấn, Standing Vice Chairman of the Hanoi People’s Committee, said that in implementing the central authorities’ Conclusion No. 105-KL/TW, issued on October 15, 2026, talent assessments would focus on practical ability, concrete results and contributions, while avoiding a narrow focus on recruitment numbers.

Hanoi plans to draw up a talent recruitment, employment and development program for 2026–2030. By 2030, it aims to establish a talent management and development system connected to the national system. The city also plans to publish major challenges, strategic tasks and projects requiring talented people each year, specifying objectives, deadlines, resources, compensation and evaluation criteria. It also plans a program to develop future talent for 2027–2030.
Resolution No. 92/2026/NQ-HĐND, adopted on January 27, 2026, expanded the groups covered by Hanoi’s talent policies to include young scientists and outstanding graduates. Article 25 of the 2026 Capital Law provides a basis for Hanoi to establish special policies on income, housing and working conditions; Article 26 addresses tax incentives, land rent and premises support for science and technology innovation projects.

Decision No. 145/2026/QĐ-UBND, issued on October 17, 2026, further sets out rules for managing that support. Hanoi’s Department of Science and Technology expects to review applications for support from about 100 PhD candidates in 2026, requiring their research to address major challenges facing the city.
