Based on job postings from the "51job" platform in March 2025, this study employs content analysis to conduct a assessment of 866 valid positions in the industrial robotics industry across nine mainland cities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. The aim is to examine the structural characteristics and inherent contradictions of talent demand in this industry. The findings are as follows: First, talent demand exhibits significant geographical agglomeration and functional division, with Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and Dongguan forming a synergistic chain of "R&Dtransformation-application." Second, private small and medium-sized enterprises constitute the primary source of labor demand (accounting for over 80%); however, their recruitment strategies demonstrate a strong preference for "immediate combat effectiveness," overly relying on work experience as a signal. This leads to an "experience paradox" and creates employment barriers for recent graduates. Third, the educational requirement structure for talent is pyramid-shaped, with over half of the positions demanding associate degrees (53.89%), while the demand for high-end R&D talent with master's degrees or higher is less than 2%, indicating that the industry currently focuses primarily on integration and application. Fourth, salaries are positively correlated with work experience, establishing a high entry barrier for early-career professionals.
