Companies can do well: the job market is highly active

There are several factors behind the high average number of applications per advertisement: on the one hand, due to inflation, the desire to look for work has increased in the hope of better pay, and in addition, the number of available jobs waiting to be filled has decreased. As a result, the supply has increased from the point of view of employers, while it has decreased somewhat when examining the situation of employees.

Compared to last year, a significant number of Hungarian companies are more cautious and restrained regarding new recruitments, so retaining the existing workforce is becoming more and more important. In the current situation, in addition to increased employee activity, this is becoming an increasingly difficult task. According to the latest survey, turnover significantly affects three quarters of companies.

Retaining good employees, finding them effectively if necessary and flexibility are key for companies in the current situation, which employers are apparently counting on in an increasing proportion.
