Caixin Wire April 1 News (Reporter Wang Chen) Not long after the two scheduled public recruitments for general manager in June and August 2024, Guosheng Securities on March 30 once again released a market-based recruitment announcement. This time, it is for the public recruitment of two deputy general managers for society, further strengthening the executive management team and optimizing the governance structure.

The last time it recruited a general manager publicly was because the former general manager retired upon reaching the mandatory retirement age. This time, however, behind the public recruitment is the imminent departure of two deputy general managers. One of them may leave to take up the position of general manager at a certain listed securities firm.

At the same time, the company also released an announcement for the public recruitment of a deputy general manager of the investment management department.

Overall, after completing the equity reshuffle, as Jiangxi’s only nationally listed comprehensive securities firm under provincial jurisdiction, Guosheng Securities’ market-based recruitment is indeed drawing strong attention—especially over the past year, with intensive hiring of general managers, heads of business lines, and executives of subsidiaries, along with adjustments to existing executives. The company appears to be entering a round of systematic management refresh and talent upgrading.

According to the announcement, the two deputy general managers recruited by Guosheng Securities this time will assume important responsibilities for the company’s operations and management. This is another significant measure in Guosheng Securities’ executive management team-building since last year. It is worth noting that behind this recruitment is the real need that two current executives of the company are about to leave.

Two executives are about to step down, and a new round of selection begins

The recruitment announcement shows that the two deputy general managers recruited by Guosheng Securities this time have core responsibilities covering participation in the company’s business and management decision-making, formulating and implementing operating plans for the relevant areas under their purview, coordinating compliance and risk control for the businesses under their supervision, and performing other duties granted by laws and regulations and the company’s articles of association.

This market-based recruitment of deputy general managers by Guosheng Securities is directly related to the imminent departure of the two executives, which will result in vacancies in management positions.

Based on the executive roster disclosed on the company’s official website, there are currently a total of positions, including Party Secretary Liu Chaodong, Party Deputy Secretary Dai Shiming, a Party committee member, General Manager Zhao Jingliang, Deputy General Manager and Financial Controller Zhang Changsheng, Deputy General Manager Dong Dong, Deputy General Manager Zhu Yu, Compliance Director, Chief Risk Officer Tang Wenfeng, Board Secretary Liu Gongyin, and Chief Information Officer Lu Xiuran.

In January 2024, Guosheng Securities’ former general manager Xu Lifeng retired upon reaching the mandatory retirement age and stepped down. After that, the position of general manager was temporarily performed by Deputy General Manager Tang Wenfeng. In the subsequent market-based recruitment for the new general manager that was initiated, Tang Wenfeng was once considered a hot candidate.

In the announcement for the public recruitment of a deputy general manager for the investment management department released on April 1, the responsibilities of the department’s deputy general manager are clearly specified: first, to take charge of the comprehensive management of the sales and trading department under the investment management department, assist the person in charge of the investment management department in carrying out key bond sales businesses, and complete the sales business targets assigned to the department; second, to take the lead in formulating and implementing the various management rules, working processes, and target tasks for the sales and trading department, supervise the implementation and execution of all work, and ensure that sales and trading-related work is carried out in a standardized, compliant, and efficient manner.

Intensive recruitment of executives and backbones over more than a year

Looking back at Guosheng Securities’ talent introduction path over the past year, market-based recruitment has become an important means for the company to build its core management team.

In June and August 2024, Guosheng Securities twice issued announcements for market-based recruitment of general manager. After screening, it ultimately determined Zhao Jingliang, deputy general manager of Cayda Securities, as the candidate. This appointment was seen as a key step for the company to strengthen the professional capabilities of its management team.

Immediately following this, in August 2024, Guosheng Securities initiated the market-based recruitment for the general manager of its investment management headquarters; in September, it publicly recruited a deputy general manager for the investment banking headquarters; and in November, the general manager and deputy general manager positions of the fixed-income financing headquarters were also opened for public recruitment. The dense recruitment of executives at the headquarters level shows the company’s urgent need for a professional, market-based management team.

While recruiting executives at the headquarters level, the company also pushed talent recruitment across all levels simultaneously. For 2025, Guosheng Securities carried out ten rounds of social recruitment at the headquarters level, while the branches and subsidiaries conducted eighteen rounds of social recruitment. Entering 2026, in just the first three months, both the headquarters and branches and subsidiaries had already completed five rounds of social recruitment each. Such a high frequency and large-scale talent introduction reflects the company’s proactive posture in business expansion and team building.

Guosheng Securities’ subsidiaries are also actively recruiting professional talent. In June 2024, Guosheng Securities publicly recruited a deputy general manager for its subsidiary Guosheng Futures; in August, it again publicly recruited a deputy general manager for its subsidiary Guosheng Asset Management. Entering March 2026, Guosheng Futures once again launched a market-based recruitment for its Chief Risk Officer.

Industry insiders believe that Guosheng Securities and its subsidiaries have continued to intensify efforts in talent introduction over the past two years, closely tied to their business development strategy. Introducing executives with rich industry experience and professional skills through market-based methods helps the company quickly fill management weaknesses and improve business expansion efficiency.

Higher net profit growth in 2025

Worth noting is that Guosheng Securities’ efforts to push talent introduction intensively are occurring at a key time when the company’s performance is growing rapidly. Although the company has not yet formally announced its 2025 annual performance report, based on the third-quarter reports and performance forecasts already disclosed, the company’s operating condition has continued to improve. Against a backdrop of increasingly fierce industry competition, a virtuous cycle is expected to form between talent advantages and performance growth.

In the first three quarters of 2025, Guosheng Securities achieved total operating revenue of 1.856 billion yuan, up 46.84% year on year; net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies reached 242 million yuan, up sharply 191.21% year on year. Among them, fee and commission income from the securities brokerage business grew 60.39% year on year, becoming an important driving force for optimizing the revenue structure. Although net profit in the third quarter alone fell 15% year on year, the sustained growth trend from the beginning of the year to the end of the reporting period indicates that the company’s profitability is steadily recovering.

According to the performance forecast, Guosheng Securities’ net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies for 2025 is expected to be 210 million yuan to 280 million yuan, representing growth of 25.44% to 67.25% year on year; after excluding non-recurring items, net profit is expected to be 206 million yuan to 276 million yuan, representing growth of 33.66% to 78.99% year on year. The company said that the growth in performance was mainly due to active trading activity in the capital market, with year-on-year increases in main business revenues such as securities brokerage, investment banking, and futures brokerage.
