In the first quarter of 2025, approximately 12,000 vacancies were posted on the platform. Compared to the previous year, the sharpest decrease was observed in March – 17% fewer vacancies were posted on the website. In April, the decrease is relatively mild and amounts to 10%, although there is a 1% increase compared to March.
As for to June and July, there is cautious optimism in the employment market.

The hospitality (HoReCa) and retail sectors are especially active, with the majority of postings targeting high-turnover roles such as waitstaff, bartenders, and cooks.
