Labour market index of Ukraine as of August 30, 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 August 30, 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 observed increase in the index of the labor market - for 25 points.
Active employers in the labor market rose slightly compared with last week.
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).
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.
New growth resumes ahead of the appearance of fresh vacancies, thereby reducing choice for the average job seeker |
