Employment sector: the sought-after professionals employers are targeting in Kazakhstan

In 2021, HeadHunter, a popular job platform in Kazakhstan, conducted an analysis of job vacancies and resumes to shed light on the country's labour market trends. The analysis was not limited to job postings and applications on its website, but covered a broader scope.

The analysis revealed that salesperson, accountant, and customer relationship manager were the top three most in-demand professions in Kazakhstan. This trend was particularly evident in the fields of sales, finance, and administrative personnel, which collectively accounted for a significant portion of job vacancies.

Specifically, there were 85,000 job vacancies for sales workers, 35,000 for employees working in accounting, finance, and bookkeeping, and 30,000 for administrative personnel. Employers in Kazakhstan were also looking for managers in sales, construction, and wholesale trade representatives.

However, the analysis did not provide specific numbers for resumes for each profession in Kazakhstan in 2021. Furthermore, no publicly available information from job market reports for Kazakhstan in 2021 specifically identifies which companies had the strongest demand for specialists in these fields.

The press release from HeadHunter did indicate that the largest number of job vacancies in Kazakhstan is represented in the fields of sales, finance, and administrative personnel. However, the statement did not specify the total number of job vacancies in Kazakhstan in 2021.

It is worth noting that in 2021, employers posted over 350,000 job vacancies on hh.kz, marking a 59% increase compared to 2020.

Despite this insightful analysis, the report did not discuss other important aspects such as the gender wage gap or the average salaries of various professions like waiters, teachers, doctors, or women in Kazakhstan.

In conclusion, the HeadHunter analysis provides valuable insights into the trends in Kazakhstan's job market in 2021, particularly in the fields of sales, finance, and administrative personnel. However, further research is needed to fully understand the labour market dynamics and other related aspects in Kazakhstan.
