In November this year, 96.9 thousand vacancies and 91.7 thousand resumes were published on the Electronic Labor Exchange (hereinafter – EBT), that is, the activity of both employers and applicants continued the dynamics of decline. Compared to October, the number of vacancies decreased by 22% (by 26.7 thousand), and the number of resumes decreased by 14% (by 14.3 thousand).
The sharp decrease in demand is mainly due to a decrease in the need for workers in the heating sector. The most noticeable reduction occurred among boiler room operators – from 7 thousand vacancies in October to 500 in November, boiler room machinists – from 2.3 thousand to 408, as well as stokers – from 6.3 thousand to 805 vacancies.
By region, in November, the most vacancies were placed by employers in Astana (8 thousand), Pavlodar (6.4 thousand) and Almaty (5.8 thousand) regions. The largest reduction in the number of vacancies was observed in West Kazakhstan (-52%, or -4.8 thousand), Kyzylorda (-49%, or -2.5 thousand) and Mangystau (-42%, or -1.5 thousand) regions. Among densely populated regions, the decrease is also noticeable in the Turkestan region (-34%, or -3.2 thousand) and Almaty (-32%, or -3 thousand).
As in the previous month, in November, every fifth vacancy at the EBT was placed by individual enterprises (19.8 thousand), the rest (77.1 thousand) by legal entities.
Almost half of all resumes are posted by young people aged 16 to 34 years (43.9 thousand), among them the most active are groups from 16 to 24 years old and from 29 to 34 years old, which account for 18% of the total number of resumes posted on the EBT. One in four (23 thousand) job seekers is a middle–aged applicant (from 35 to 44 years old), and applicants of pre-retirement age accounted for 9% (8.7 thousand) of all resumes.
Employers offered the highest wages to the main builders (on average from 726 thousand tenge), heads of services in the extractive industry (about 649 thousand tenge) and millers (about 580 thousand tenge). Among the applicants, the highest salary expectations were for candidates for the position of head of development projects (on average from 1.3 million tenge), head of the analytics service (about 1.2 million tenge) and pilot (about 1.1 million tenge).
Thus, in November, the EBT continued its downward trend in search and hiring activity. The main contribution to the decrease was made by the operators of heating systems, which is due to the fact that these enterprises had already staffed the necessary personnel in October. At the same time, there is still a high demand for specialists with professions that are not subject to seasonal fluctuations in the labor market.
