It is a fact that the labor market is constantly evolving and is expected to change even more in the next five years.
Beyond the impact of technology, the coronavirus pandemic has left its mark on the world of work. At the same time, it brought the wave of “Great Resignation” around the world, with many employees leaving their jobs in search of new job opportunities.
In this context, there is a reduction in unemployment worldwide, but also an increase in job vacancies. The same happens in our country, which of course still remains stable in either the first or the second place with the highest unemployment rate in the European Union.
Many have cited the phenomenon of employers’ need for skilled staff and the alleged shortage of such people as the cause of this phenomenon – that is, a reduction in unemployment while increasing job vacancies.
So if you are looking for a career in a fast growing industry or looking for information on what skills you need to develop and prepare for the future, then it is worth taking a look at the following list prepared by Adecco Group consultants in Greece:
1. Information Technology (IT)
Following the trends that will shape the future of work, technology undoubtedly plays a key role. Therefore, it is not surprising that the first place in the most sought after professions is occupied by the specialties related to IT profiles, Developers (Senior Java Developers, Full Stack Developers) and Software Architects.
2. Human Recourses (HR)
The pandemic seems to have affected the way companies perceive the importance of talent and how this can be a determining factor in a company’s viability.
As time goes on, human resources executives become more and more important. The most sought after positions in this category are: HR Managers, HR Business Partners, Talent Acquisition Specialists, Senior Talent Acquisition Specialists and Payroll Specialists.
3. Data Scientists
Continuous supply of business processes with the correct and operational data is necessary to achieve the goals and support strategic decisions of companies.
The revolution in the field of information and the corresponding volume of data management (Data Management) make the jobs that revolve around this sector sought after.
4. Supply Chain
World trade has been severely affected by the pandemic, and there are new data emerging daily on the energy crisis, war conflicts, and ongoing technological developments.
These emerging trends are changing the game in the global market and defining the supply chain as a strategic catalyst in achieving the goals of companies.
Respectively, there is a high demand for employees who frame the department of the supply chain, such as the executives of the Procurement Department and the Logistics Managers.
5. Digital Marketing Specialists
Unlike Digital Marketing, which is evolving rapidly, traditional Marketing techniques are no longer as effective. Our buying habits continue to evolve at a time when most purchases are now made in part or in full electronically.
Brands are more likely to reach customers through email, videos, social media and search engines.
Specialties unknown until recently, such as SEO (Search Engine Optimization), UX (User Experience) and
SOME (Social Media), are now found even in smaller companies, placing digital marketing (digital marketing) in the heart of companies.
6. Craftsmen
The number of vacancies seems to be increasing significantly and disproportionately compared to the number of skilled workers available when it comes to “office jobs”.
However, there is a corresponding difficulty in filling positions of technical specialties, as in recent years there is a strong tendency of young people not to choose manual professions with the result that craftsmen tend to disappear.
Konstantinos Mylonas Cluster Head of the Adecco Group in Greece, Romania and Bulgaria states: “The world of work has been transforming rapidly in recent years, changing the balance between supply and demand for skills. Throughout the pandemic, the labor market was in the throes of a major upheaval, but it seems to be recovering with a clear increase in the number of new vacancies. By 2025, about 85 million jobs are estimated to be lost due to technology, but it is predicted that for exactly the same reason, 97 million new jobs will be created. “It is important to understand global trends and identify jobs with the highest growth rates, so that human resources are ready for these positions and have the necessary mix of knowledge and skills to cope with them.”
