Job Market Overview
In our previous report, we shared that August saw a long-awaited increase in the number of job openings.
🔊 In the last 4 weeks, there has been a very small change in the number of job openings. On the other hand, the last week of August and the first week of September saw the highest increase. 📈
🔊The number of job applications saw a notable increase since mid-August. Job-seekers are finally on track. 😉
Let’s dive into market competitiveness.
Compared to August, market competitiveness has become more challenging in the Estonian job market. This could be related to the increasing number of job applications in September (one of the favourite months for job seekers). 🤔
While it is at the ‘OK level’ for Data & Analytics professionals to find a job in Estonia, it is sadly difficult for Design experts. Fingers crossed, design people: good times will come! ✌️
So how is the situation with offered and expected salaries in relation to this?
Both the offered and expected salaries have seen a slight increase by mid-September.
Despite the small change, there is still a gap between the two numbers. Whereas employers are ready to pay a bit more to hire the best talent, job seekers seem to be reevaluating their expected salaries to some extent. 💰

What about market competitiveness in the Finnish job market? How have industries been affected?
As of August, it is a bit challenging for job seekers to find a job in Finland. Is it the same for every industry?
Unlike in Estonia, software engineers will find it easier to find a job in Finland nowadays. On the other hand, it will be unfortunately more difficult for Design and especially Marketing & PR & Media professionals. 😟
Wondering about the expected and offered average salaries in the Finnish job market?
The pandemic has affected the way we live, work and look for a job. 😵 Just like in Estonia, there has been a growing difference between the expected and offered salaries in Finland.
The gap started to grow in the beginning of June and then diminished a bit. But the disparity is clear enough to draw attention to the difference between the expectations of job seekers and those of companies. 🤔
