Labour market index of Ukraine as of December 20, 2012
Association of Regional Recruitment Agencies “ARKA” and Navigator Consulting Company together with the largest job websites inform about change in Labour market index of Ukraine as of December 20, 2012. Labour market index shows change of demand and supply, Ukrainian labour market trends over the past 5 weeks. Index growth indicates increase in demand for personnel in Ukraine. Index fall indicates that it is getting more difficult for an average job seeker to get a job. The index of the labor market for the week decreased by 18 points. Active employers fell on the eve of the New Year.
Index takes into account 3 factors: • ratio of total amount of resumes to job vacancies posted on the leading job websites (labour market demand and supply); • ratio of employer activity (posting of vacancies) to job seeker activity (posting of resumes) within the given week (changes in demand/supply); • total amount of job vacancies posted on the websites – research participants (overall demand for human resources).
Before the Christmas holidays, employers place less jobs, but the number of applicants - on the contrary, increases. Apparently, many operate on the principle "in the New Year - a new job." This reduced the range of options per job seeker Note: the calculation takes into account not only the total number of vacancies and resumes posted on job-sites, but the number of new, emerging in the last 7 days.
