It’s getting hot in here, folks… employers are out of patience, and the job market is buzzing like never before. According to eJobs, nearly 30,000 new openings popped up in the past month — with more than 7,500 just in the first days of September. Basically, if you’re job hunting right now, you’ve got more options than browser tabs open on your laptop.
Who’s most wanted?
Two categories top the charts: entry-level candidates and skilled workers — but for very different reasons.
- Entry level: companies face massive staff turnover and constantly need replacements.
- Skilled workers: they’re becoming rare in Romania as fewer young people choose traditional trades, while many professionals head abroad for higher pay.
Job market hot spots
If you’re ready to apply, your golden ticket lies in retail, call-center/BPO, services, food industry, manufacturing, construction, transport/logistics, and tourism.
The numbers speak for themselves: over 23,000 jobs on eJobs.ro and another 7,000 on iajob.ro.
Who’s hitting apply the most
No surprise here: entry-level candidates are the most active. At the top are recent graduates, followed by skilled workers, who are actually applying more than students and unskilled workers combined.
Final takeaway
The job market right now looks like an all-inclusive buffet: employers are in a rush, candidates have plenty to choose from, and entry-level roles plus traditional trades are the stars of the menu.
If you’ve been thinking about applying, now’s the time — otherwise, you might just be left with the bill.
