“Those who want to get employed during this period are primarily seeking stability and want to make sure they take this step for a solid company, which can easily overcome a possible challenging economic period. This is one of the reasons why 90% of September applications went to full time jobs. We’re seeing increasingly fewer candidates who want to work part time or project-based,” says Roxana Draghici, Head of Sales at eJobs.
Of the total number, 14.3% of applications were filed for remote jobs, in line with this year’s average, but also with the level of last September. 84.3% of applications went to traditional jobs and just 1.4% targeted jobs abroad.
Retail was the field that attracted the biggest number of applications (325,000), followed by call center/BPO (152,000), services (128,000), IT/telecom (105,000), financial-banking (85,000), transport/logistics (79,000), tourism (75,000) and food industry (72,000).
The most active candidates were in the 25-35 age group, with 370,000 applications.
As regards the career level, most candidates are in the entry level area, followed by mid-level ones.
In September, the highest number of applications were for Bucharest and Ilfov jobs (over 630,000).
Around 30,000 jobs were posted in September. At this moment, 27,000 jobs are available on eJobs.ro.
