According to Vietnam’s leading online recruitment agency, the labour market has been busier since the Lunar New Year (Tet), but still not experienced sudden changes like in 2012, radio The Voice of Vietnam (VOV) reported.
VietnamWorks reports that labour supply and demand during the Tet holiday, the longest annual festival in Vietnam, was much higher in 2012 than in 2013, attributing this to the last Tet falling in January when the labour market was relatively quiet.
Meanwhile, the 2013 Tet fell in mid-February, leaving the market a longer period of time to warm up before the holiday and hence the labour supply and demand did not increase as sharply as in 2012.
Market shifts largely focused on such positions as experienced workers, team leaders or supervisors in 2012, but managers, CEOs or even graduates and interns in 2013.
Experts predict the market in 2014 will follow 2013’s trend with the highest demand for hierarchs.
The report indicates that market demands in such industries as communications, journalism, telecommunications, and advertisement have doubled or even tripled compared to the pre-Tet period.
The top ten fields with the highest demand for recruitment after Tet include communications-journalism-telecommunications-advertisement, health care, logistics, education and training, consumer products, administration-consultancy-legal services, retail and wholesale, production, banking, and technology.
In 2013 Vietnam attracted workers to newly developed industries. Labour supply in the environment, waste treatment, technical sales, retails, wholesales, import-export, and customer services saw the highest growth, with the environment and waste treatment taking the lead (up 50 percent).
Customer services attracted the largest labour force in 2013. In contrast, popular sectors such as advertisement-promotion-foreign relations, sales, architect, interior design, construction, administration and secretary declined in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.
In 2013, areas which require soft skills or creativeness like administration - secretary, advertisement- promotion-foreign relations, architect-interior design – were thirsty for human resources while techniques and sales had an abundant labour force.-VNA
