“In 2023, several clear tendencies are already shaping up on the labour market. One of them is linked to the fact that hybrid work will replace remote work. Another major tendency will be the second job becoming a second nature,” says Bogdan Badea, eJobs Romania CEO.

Moreover, a rising number of employers will have to resort to personnel import as the workforce shortage is deepening,

Around 10,000 jobs were posted during the first week of the year on eJobs.ro, the main online recruitment platform in Romania. The level is flat from the year-ago period, with 2022 marking, with 420,000 new jobs posted by employers, a 20-year high.

Overall, the highest number of applicants seek jobs in Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Timisoara and Brasov. Except Brasov, these are also the cities boasting the highest net wage averages.
