VietJobs: A Vietnamese Job Advertisement Dataset

VietJobs is the first large-scale, publicly available corpus of Vietnamese job advertisements, comprising 48,092 postings and over 15 million words collected from all 34 provinces and municipalities across Vietnam. The dataset provides extensive linguistic and structured information, including job titles, categories, salaries, skills, and employment conditions, covering 16 occupational domains and multiple employment types (full-time, part-time, and internship). Designed to support research in natural language processing and labour market analytics, VietJobs captures substantial linguistic, regional, and socio-economic diversity. We benchmark several generative large language models (LLMs) on two core tasks: job category classification and salary estimation. Instruction-tuned models such as Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct and Llama-SEA-LION-v3-8B-IT demonstrate notable gains under few-shot and fine-tuned settings, while highlighting challenges in multilingual and Vietnamese-specific modelling for structured labour market prediction. VietJobs establishes a new benchmark for Vietnamese NLP and offers a valuable foundation for future research on recruitment language, socio-economic representation, and AI-driven labour market analysis.
