Other sectors that reported a hike in professional job roles last month include:
- Basic materials (15.1%)
- Technology, media, and telecoms (14.1%)
- Healthcare (12.7%)
Toby Fowlston, CEO of Robert Walters, said the uptick in these sectors reflects a “broader, emerging demand for skilled talent.”
“The latest figures from our Global Jobs Index are encouraging – and are a positive hint toward more traditional recruitment cycles returning, whereby October and the final quarter tend to be busy as companies ramp up seasonal hires or look to spend remaining hiring budgets before the close of the year,” Fowlston said in a statement.
Professional jobs hike by country
By nation, Mexico reported the highest percentage change in job vacancy growth for professional roles with 21.34%.
“Mexico continues to benefit from the nearshoring boom – with companies increasingly relocating manufacturing and supply chain operations closer to North American markets – this could be driven further in the next quarter by recent geopolitical shifts and trade renegotiations/agreements,” Fowlston said.
