In Russia, a record competition for vacancies was achieved - almost 9 CVs for each position.
Russia has seen the toughest competition for jobs in nearly 10 years. The paradox is that this is happening against a background of historically low unemployment of about 2.2%. The reason is a structural change: there are fewer vacancies and more resumes. In January, the index stood at 9.6 CVs per vacancy. Three times more than two years ago.
According to SuperJob, during the year the number of resumes increased by 33%, and the number of vacancies decreased by 19%. Competition hits white-collar workers the hardest: in marketing, public relations and IT, dozens of people can apply for one job.
