It also integrated the three license application forms into one form, and simplified the content of the application form by 80 percent.

Now enterprises only need to fill in a declaration form, submit a set of application materials, and complete the full process of human resources service industry comprehensive licensing matters.

"The required materials are simple, the process is efficient, and it eliminates the need for on-site visits. In less than an hour, the certificate can be obtained," said Guo Jinghui, a business handler at Guangxi Qianfeng Human Resources.
