In October, 123.7 thousand vacancies and 106 thousand resumes were posted on the Electronic Labor Exchange (hereinafter – EBT). Compared to the previous month, the activity of search and hiring decreased: the number of vacancies decreased by 9% (13 thousand), and resumes – by 13% (16.5 thousand). The decline in activity is explained by a decrease in supply and demand in the field of education, probably due to the completion of staffing in educational institutions.
However, as in September, the transition to the heating season caused an increase in demand for workers in the maintenance and operation of thermal and boiler equipment.
So, last month the number of vacancies for boiler room operators increased (+5,9 thousand), boiler room machinists (+1,1 thousand), and boilermakers (+969). High demand for such specialists was observed in West Kazakhstan (2.9 thousand vacancies), Aktobe (1.3 thousand) and Zhambyl (974) regions.
A noticeable increase in demand was also recorded for such professions as livestock breeders and animal care workers, which is especially important at the stage of preparation for the winter period in animal husbandry.
By region, employers from the Karaganda region (9.5 thousand vacancies, or 8% of the total), as well as from Almaty (9.3 thousand, or 7.5%), West Kazakhstan region (9.2 thousand, or 7.5%) and Astana (8.1 thousand, or 7%).
At the same time, the total number of vacancies in October decreased in the following regions: Almaty (-44%, or -3.9 thousand), Zhetisu (-37%, or -1.6 thousand) and Astana (-34%, or -4.1 thousand).
The imbalance between supply and demand remains an acute problem in some regions. Thus, 2.5 thousand resumes were registered in the East Kazakhstan region with 5.5 thousand vacancies, in North Kazakhstan - 2 thousand resumes for 4.1 thousand vacancies, and in Pavlodar – 3.4 thousand resumes with 6.5 thousand vacancies.
There is still an excess of resumes in Shymkent, Kyzylorda and Turkestan regions, which exceeds the number of vacancies by 54%, 48% and 47%, respectively.
High salaries in October were offered to chief builders (on average 679 thousand tenge), chief technical specialists (about 565 thousand tenge) and flight safety engineers (about 554 thousand tenge).
At the same time, the highest salaries were expected by applicants applying for the position of director of investment projects (on average from 2 million tenge), head of the automated production management system department (about 1.8 million tenge) and combine harvester (1.2 million tenge).
Overall, EBT activity decreased in October, especially in the field of education. At the same time, the beginning of the cold period caused an increase in demand for employees of the heating production system.
