Romanian companies tend to prefer work contracts for determined periods, a trend highlighted by the ratio between temporary and permanent hirings in the first five months of the year, the recruiter said in a press release Thursday.
“This year, the percentage of temporary employees that have been offered permanent jobs has dropped to 31% from 35% last year. This shows employers prefer temporary work contracts and companies have nearly completed their permanent staff requirements,” Trenkwalder general manager Bogdan Florea said in the press release.
According to Trenkwalder, employers will focus on recruiting staff for coordination and management positions and will rely on temporary workers for execution and production jobs.
Trenkwalder’s demand for recruitment of temporary workers has seen a 46% rise in the first quarter and has recruited people for 3,800 jobs, compared to 2,600 jobs in the first quarter of 2010.
The company’s first-quarter revenues stood at EUR5.92 million, up from EUR3.81 million in the first quarter last year, as demand for human resources services has bounced back. In 2010, the company posted revenues of over EUR20 million, more than double compared to 2009.
Trenkwalder has 70 consultants and nine branches in Romania in Arad, Brasov, Bucharest, Cluj, Iasi, Oradea, Pitesti, Sibiu and Timisoara.
The company has been operating on the Romanian market since 2006, when it bought local company Sobis Consult.
