In comparison to previous 15th wave the Labour Market Index slightly increased to 2.4<\/strong> (1- unfavourable environment, 5 – favourable). First, it could be explained by the fact that majority of respondents in the 16th<\/sup> wave are service companies. Compared to manufacturing companies, service providers are more optimistic in their assessment of the situation with availability of qualified labour and personnel related expenses. However, the market has a lot of challenges for employers.\u00a0 For example, qualified workers prefer wages in EU countries. Thus, employee’s turnover and labour migration go up.<\/p>\n What is trending based on the survey results<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Competence (soft skills), which must have a university graduate or young professional (% of survey participants chose it as important)<\/strong><\/p>\n “For a long time, demand for recruitment of external candidates is not going down in any industry. Every quarter shortage of qualified candidates at the labour market, competition for people with employers outside of Ukraine plus economic factors impact new employee hiring costs.<\/em><\/p>\n Thus, highly in demand specialists, e.g. in Logistics or Export\/Import speaking a foreign language with min. 2-year experisence, asked for 9,000 UAH net minimum last year; today they will not consider vacancies with wages below 11,000 UAH net. Job seekers dominate at the labour market.<\/em><\/p>\n At last majority of employers have not just understood the situation but are also learning fast how to overcome the market challenges. This is a positive trend and it slightly pushes the Labour Index up to reflect a more favourable circumstances for employers”,<\/em>\u00a0said Ms Oksana Abramenko, Senior Recruiter at Lviv Consulting Group.<\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Traditionally EBA Western Ukrainian Office together with Lviv Consulting Group conducted mini-survey – Labour Market Index of Western Ukraine, 16th wave.
