The CEO of Romanian online staffing platform eJobs, said that there is a slight decrease in job ads in 2023 compared to 2022, reports the Romanian Insider and finance publication Ziarul Financiar. Job offers decreased by about 10% in the first nine months of 2023 when compared to the same period last year. Bogdan Badea, CEO of eJobs, said, “The demand from employees still exists, the job offers are decreasing. We have an increase of about 5% - 6% on job applications in the first nine months, but this is not worrying news. We have an abnormal number of new CVs on the platform, we are ending this year with the highest number of new CVs we have had.”

Badea added that the platform has a 15% increase in CVs on the platform compared to last year. “What this means: more people are preparing their CV for something bad, not everything turns into applications, but it is clear that they come, polish their profile, look at the CV, bring it up to date. It is not a positive signal.”
