Young people at the beginning of their careers, specialists, English and German speakers, people with digital skills found the easiest job in 2022

January 5, 2023

A number of 420,000 new jobs were posted this year on eJobs.ro, young people at the beginning of their career, specialists, speakers of English and German and those with digital skills and experience in sales being the candidates who found a job easily in 2022.According to a press release issued on Wednesday, the number is a historic record of the last twenty years, as well as the coming back of domains which in 2020 and 2021 had a slowing down of the rhythm of their activity: tourism, HORECA, event organization or food industry.‘It was a year when almost everybody could find a job easily, even on the sector of 45+ where we know that recruitment is more difficult and where candidates themselves are more fearful with regard to the idea of changing their workplace. It is true, but, that for some categories it was much easier to get hired as the market was full of offers for them. We refer to those at entry level, with maximum two years of experience, specialists, speakers of English and German as well as to those with digital skills or with expertise in sales. Of course, most times, a sum of two or several of these criteria could be found in the same job announcement’ said Bogdan Badea, CEO eJobs Romania. Approximately half of the total number of new jobs of this year aimed at candidates at entry level, then those with average level of experience, namely 2 to 5 years. There follow candidates without experience, specialists with seniority of at least five years in their domain of activity and managers. In fact, according to the quoted source, and as regards the efforts for finding a job there was noticed an advance of young people, which is getting close to the historic leaders of applications, namely the category of age 25 – 35 years. In 2022, the candidates aged between 18 to 24 years had 2.9 million applications for the jobs posted on the recruitment platforms, and those in the sector 25 – 35 years old registered 3.9 million applications. As a total, this year the threshold of 10 million applications was surpassed.According to Salario, the salary comparator of the eJobs brand, the salary average registered this year for entry level candidates was RON 3,000 net, across the country. A monthly average of 4,000 lei was reported for those with 2-5 years of experience and 5,200 lei for specialists with seniority over 5 years.The departments with most profiles were sales, client service/call center and administrative logistics.‘All this is connected to the domains which recruited most in 2022, namely retail, services, food industry, tourism, call-center/BPO and transport/logistics. The discussions we have now, at the end of the year, with employers show that next year there will be considerable demand for these sectors of activity’ said Bogdan Badea.If the level of studies is no longer a criterion which could condition hiring, recruiters were very careful about skills such as foreign languages or digital skills of the candidates. Thus, over 170,000 of the jobs posted on the platform mentioned English among the requirements and 23,000 had German as a foreign language.‘We are at a point of maturity of the market where, employers are willing to receive candidates who may not be graduates of faculty or trained in a certain domain of activity but they have the set of skills necessary to the job, both in the hard skills domain, technical knowledge as well as in the area of soft skills, which rather belong to attitude and behavior. Foreign languages or digital skills are part of this set of technical skills important for the companies’ said Bogdan Badea.At present, on eJobs.ro, the biggest recruitment platform in Romania are available more than 23,000 workplaces. Set up in 1999, eJobs is the first recruitment platform in Romania and the leader of the local market of recruitment. Starting with 2012,it is part of the Ringier AG group, international media company, with headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland.
