In Q3 2007 number of job offers from chemical, building and real estate
industries reported an increase. The demand for specialists dealing
with transports and logistics is also growing. Trade and sales have
maintained a leading position –these have been results from the
periodical report “Specialist labour market in Q3 2007” drawn up by
Pracuj.pl consultants.
The labour market is still growing dynamically. Total quarterly job
offers (53,886) has gone up by over 22 thousand as compared to the
benchmark in 2006, and by 6 thousand as compared to Q2 2007.
In Q3 2007 trade and sales still remain the cash cow of the ranking.
Classifieds from this sector constitute 17.6% of total job offers. The
heavy industry providing every tenth employment opportunity goes
second, while the third position is taken by the finance industry,
where the percentage share (9.2%) reported a slight drop against the
previous quarter. The top five also comprises light industry as well as
building and real estate industries, the latter ones leaping from 6 up
to 4 place, as compared to the results in the previous quarter.
Boosting demand for specialists from these sectors reflects continuous
upturn on the real estate market.
- Lack of qualified staff may undoubtedly affect negatively
the dynamics of growth in the building industry. Right now, there are
not enough employees and we have to be aware that we are about to face
up investments related to EURO 2012. It is likely that we will have to
hire foreigners – comments Przemysław Gacek, CEO of Grupa Pracuj, an owner of the recruitment portal Pracuj.pl.
The highest percentage growth, as compared to the previous quarter
(over 43%) and year-to-year figures (132%), was reported in the
chemical industry. It was similar to the transport and logistics,
generating 1000 more job offers than in Q3 2006.
Analysing Q2 2007 as well as the same period in 2006, the share of
workplaces offered by telecommunications and advanced technologies has
slightly fallen. Moreover, the downturn also affected tourism, hotel
and catering industries, however the most significant drop was related
to legal services, which provided 1/3 job offers more in the Q2.

IT specialists still very much in demand
The increase in demand for building industry specialists has been also
confirmed in the analysis of job offers using “Department in
corporations” criterion. In the Q3 2007 engineers and construction
workers could select in classifieds, which made 10% of total job
offers. More vacancies (by roughly 600 positions) were aimed at
employees from logistics, freight forwarding and transport industries
than a year ago. Comparing to Q2, the labour market witnessed the real
boom (by over 80%) in job offers provided for employees of IT
departments, such as Internet and e-commerce. Analysing the results
from the Q3 fewer employees were searched for human resources and legal
departments as in the previous quarter.
- There is an increasing demand for IT people, particularly e-commerce
and the Internet specialists. I am convinced that it is a consequence
of strong ratings of Polish companies on the European Internet market.
My thesis is approved by results of the latest 12-th edition of the
prestigious Technology Fast 50 ranking, with as many as 4 Polish
enterprises listed in the top 10 – says Przemysław Gacek.

Temporary changes on regional markets
Mazowsze province still holds the highest position in the regional
ranking in terms of number of job offers. Yet, taking into account a
significant growth of total classifieds, the share of this region in
total number of job offers has dropped by approx. 3% as compared to the
Q3 2006. However, the provinces which reported the largest growth
within the analysed period comparing to Q2 2007 were: Lubuskie,
Świętokrzyskie, Wielkopolskie and Pomorskie.
Comparing to Q3 2006 the most significant rise in number of job offers
occurred in Łódzkie (by 108%), Wielkopolskie (by 102%) and
Zachodniopomorskie (by 100%) provinces.
- Mazowsze province is still the readiest labour market, even though
its contribution to the total job offers begins to fall down, giving
priority to other, rapidly emerging regions. This is good news,
especially for those who consider returning from abroad back to their
hometowns – adds Przemysław Gacek.
