There were 27,800 open job vacancies in the second quarter of 2014, which is 15 per cent down from one year earlier (32,500), according to the Job Vacancy Survey of Statistics Finland.
The statistics said there were a total of 18,500 job vacancies open in the private sector in the second quarter of 2014. In comparison with the quarter one year earlier, the number decreased particularly in small establishments.
In the second quarter, employers estimated that 36 per cent of the open job vacancies were hard-to-fill, while one year earlier, such posts made up 48 per cent of the open vacancies.
The share of part-time positions in open vacancies went up by 11 percentage points and that of fixed-term positions by 18 percentage points from one year back.
Fixed-term open vacancies were common particularly in educational establishments that primarily sought teachers and in administrative and support service establishments that were looking for workers for cleaning and building-maintenance jobs.
The inquiry is directed to persons responsible for recruitment in private or public sector establishments. The data-provider can respond either using a web questionnaire or through a telephone interview.
