Software engineers have been the most saught-after job by Chinese companies since January of this year, according to the "Best Job" rankings of 2012, published by 51job.com, a leading recruitment website in China.

The rankings were based on the most frequently posted positions by companies on the website from January to May this year. The criteria for selecting the "best job" for job seekers included six positive traits: salary, career prospects, working environment and equipment, decency, professionalism and job satisfaction; and four negative qualities: pressure, physical stress, career risk and company strength.
