JOB POSTINGS DROP AT THE END OF JUNE
For the first time this year, at the end of June, there was an 8 percent drop in job advertisements on the leading websites in the country. This is shown by the monthly analysis of the HR company and career site "JobTiger".
Since the beginning of the year, the number of advertisements has been constantly increasing, but in the past month we reported nearly 5,000 offers less than in May, the company announced.
However, according to experts, this is not a cause for concern, because we are in the holiday summer months, when the supply and demand for work are traditionally in smaller volumes.
The number of active offers at the end of June is just over 52,000 and is 4 percent more than the same period in 2021.
A decline in listings is observed in almost all sectors. The exceptions are "Healthcare and Pharmacy" and "Construction", in which advertisements have increased by 16 percent and 2 percent, respectively.
A major reason for the higher number of advertisements in the health sector is the availability of medical staff offers for positions abroad.
After the constant growth of offers over the past 4 months in the "Hospitality and restaurant" sector, in June they start to decrease. This is the sector with the largest drop in advertisements of as much as 22 percent, followed by the "Trade and Sales" sector with a drop of 11 percent, the company also reports.
There is a smaller number of advertisements in the sectors "Marketing and advertising" (-9 percent), "Accounting, audit, finance" (-8.7 percent), IT (-6 percent), "Administrative and service activities " (3.2 percent), "Logistics and transport" (-3 percent) and "Production" (-0.5 percent).
Share distribution
In terms of share distribution of advertisements, the "Trade and Sales" sector is in first place with a 21 percent share, followed by the "Hospitality and Restaurant" sectors (17 percent), "Manufacturing" (15 percent), IT (13 percent).
They are followed by the sectors "Administrative and service activities" (10 percent), "Logistics and transport" (9 percent), "Construction" (5 percent), "Accounting, audit, finance" (4.4 percent ), "Healthcare and Pharmacy" (3.9 percent), "Marketing and Advertising" (3 percent) and "Art" (1 percent).
Work from home
According to the analysis, the number of offers for work from home and/or remote work at the end of June decreased by 8 percent compared to May. They are just over 5,500 for the country or 12.4 percent of the total number of advertisements.
Half of these offers (50 percent) are in the "IT" sector, followed by "Administrative and service activities" (15 percent), the outsourcing (BPO) industry sectors (14 percent) and "Trade and sales" (4 per hundred).
Offer by cities
The number of advertisements in the leading regional cities also decreased by 8 percent in the month of June. There is a decrease in advertisements in every regional city: Sofia (-6 percent), Plovdiv (-9 percent), Varna (-9 percent), Burgas (-15 percent), Ruse (-6 percent) and Stara Zagora (-11 percent).
As a share distribution, the proposals in the leading regional cities occupy 72 percent of all advertisements. The distribution in each of these cities is as follows: Sofia (44 percent), Plovdiv (10 percent), Varna (9 percent), Burgas (4 percent), Ruse (3 percent) and Stara Zagora (2 percent).
Ads suitable for refugees
The number of refugee-friendly job adverts in June was just over 2,900 (7 per cent of all adverts), down 8 per cent on the previous month. One third of these offers are in the "Hospitality and Restaurant" sector (30 percent), with the majority also in the "Trade and Sales" (18 percent), "Manufacturing" (15 percent) and "IT" sectors (13 percent).
