"Receiving a major order right after moving in was unexpected!" said Wang Yueting, General Manager of the Comprehensive Management Department at FESCO Tianjin Co., Ltd. (FESCO Tianjin). In 2023, her company officially began operations in the China Tianjin Human Resources Service Industrial Park, Heping Zone (the Industrial Park). Shortly after settling in, an order came their way—Poly Property Services Co., Ltd. (POLY PPT SER), also based in the park, was struggling with fragmented, multi-location staffing needs.
During a matchmaking event organized by the Industrial Park, POLY PPT SER learned of FESCO Tianjin's arrival and was impressed by its professional capabilities and nationwide service network. After in-depth discussions, the two neighbors became partners. Both companies, headquartered in Beijing, joined hands within the Tianjin park.
One had demand for outsourcing, the other had the capacity to deliver. Over three years, FESCO Tianjin has supplied nearly 1,000 workers to POLY PPT SER for roles including cleaning, maintenance, and logistics. During the same period, FESCO Tianjin expanded its service network from Tianjin to over 400 cities across China, serving more than 3,000 domestic and international clients and covering nearly 50,000 employees in sectors such as ICT, new energy, new materials, aerospace, biopharmaceuticals, retail, and smart manufacturing.
How did a Beijing-based company achieve such rapid growth in Tianjin? The story dates back to 2018 when the Industrial Park was designated as a national-level park. Since then, the Heping District government has focused on creating a multi-point, fully covered park model, implemented by the District Human Resources and Social Security Bureau. Rather than taking a hands-off approach, the government has built a solid platform to not only attract businesses but also facilitate connections and services.
"When a company faces a challenge, government departments help set the stage, integrating resources from universities and research institutes to find solutions," said Hu Jin, Secretary of the Industrial Park’s Party Committee. "We focus on what companies cannot easily accomplish on their own but genuinely need."
By 2024, the Industrial Park’s revenue exceeded RMB 10 billion, reaching RMB 14.2 billion in 2025 and accounting for 75% of Heping District’s business services sector, contributing significantly to regional development. The park revitalized 35,000 square meters of idle space in Poly Plaza, increasing the occupancy rate from 35% to 81%. It also strengthened clustering effects: Heping District is now home to 571 upstream and downstream companies in the human resources sector, with 30% of China’s top 100 HR enterprises having established a presence there.
For the Industrial Park, the key is not just numbers but function—summarized in two words: platform building. In September 2024, Heping District took the lead in establishing a Talent Service Innovation Consortium, bringing together education, technology, industry, and other resources. Government departments, universities, research institutes, and enterprises now collaborate on this platform, discussing cutting-edge trends, commercialization of results, and policy innovation. The district also signed strategic agreements with municipal bureaus of industry, technology, and education, and established cooperation with Xiong'an New Area, Tiankai High-Tech Park, and 12 universities across the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.
The Industrial Park’s impact is reflected in many success stories. Shipping is one of Heping District’s five pillar industries. Recently, the head of Tianjin Tieyang International Logistics was urgently seeking cross-disciplinary talent with skills in both Russian and foreign trade but struggled to find suitable candidates. Upon learning of this, the Industrial Park immediately contacted Tianjin Foreign Studies University, arranged interviews onsite, and helped the company hire 10 interns on the spot.
Other Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei companies, including BAIC Group and Luke Technology, also faced hiring challenges. The Industrial Park invited Tianjin Foreign Studies University and Tianjin Polytechnic University to facilitate meetings between supply and demand, resolving the issue effectively. Last year alone, the park organized 147 job fairs, both online and offline, offering 32,000 employment opportunities to the public.
"We provide whatever services companies need—it’s like placing an order," said Hu Jin. "Last year, we held 109 free themed service events for enterprises. If companies wanted to learn about the latest tax policies, we brought in experts; if they needed updates on market regulations, we connected them with relevant resources."
The Industrial Park’s vision extends beyond Heping District. It has proactively signed strategic cooperation agreements with human resources parks in Beijing’s Chaoyang District and Hebei’s Xiong'an New Area, enabling tri-regional collaboration and resource sharing. Moving forward, the park aims to leverage major opportunities from Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development, focusing on cross-regional recruitment, job resource sharing, HR business coordination, and industrial relocation support.
