Home electronics and appliance retailer Gome is planning to hire 20,000 migrant workers to fill up vacancies in its delivery, installation and maintenance divisions.

Gome Vice-president He Yangqing said the company would conduct the recruitment on a nationwide scale. He, however, did not indicate the time frame for the hiring process.

The Beijing-based retailer indicated that it would employ the new hires in its outlets and in subsidiaries like Paradise, Dazhong and Sanlian.
