South Africa’s job market is flat, but there are some jobs skills that are still in high demand.
While hiring activity remains subdued, CareerJunction noted an increase in candidates signing up and applying for jobs from the design, media and arts, hospitality and manufacturing sectors.
Most of the jobs on offer are still mostly based in Gauteng, where 54% of recruitment ads are placed. This is followed by the Western Cape and KwaZulu Natal. For sales and marketing, KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng have seen consistent growth in hiring activity for this sector over the last three years. The Western Cape, however, has seen a 19% decline year-on-year.
