Over 60% of the employers who participated in a survey carried out by local recruiting platform BestJobs said they plan to open up to 10 new positions in the second half of this year while 21% will open between 10 and 20 positions. Most companies (73%) generally look for 1 to 5 candidates for each open position.
The positions with the highest demand are those in sales, as 63% of the companies are looking for sales people, administrative activities (57%) and production (54%). Most companies (54%) are looking to hire candidates with 2-5 years of experience while 37% are also willing to hire entry-level candidates, with up to two years of experience.
The workforce crisis is also pushing companies to increase the salaries offered to new employees. About 46% of the employers expect to pay up to 10% higher wages for new positions compared to the beginning of this year, 18% of employers believe they need to increase salary packages by 10-20% and 2% are even willing to pay over 20% more compared to the beginning of this year.
Companies are also considering more extra-salary benefits, such as optional pension, holiday vouchers and even massage at the office, to draw new employees.
A total of 682 companies participated in this survey. In the first half of this year, companies posted about 200,000 job ads on the BestJobs platform, almost 60% more compared to the same period of 2017.
