In addition to the IT industry, the retail sector also continues to grow in 2018, with one of the highest demand for new employees. Following the massive expansion of both traditional retail and e-commerce, the big retail chains in Romania will continue to hire. Big companies such as Lidl, Penny, Kaufland, Mega Image, or IKEA (which will open the second store in Bucharest later this year) have a lot of open positions on recruiting sites, both for entry-level, as well as for store managers or administrators. The online giant Amazon has also started recruiting last year in Bucharest and continues to hire for the new office to open in the capital of Romania. The retailer is hiring for the development centers in Iasi and Bucharest, and most of the jobs are for software engineers.

Bucharest remains the leader, when talking about the number of vacancies, in all the industries listed above. The second city in Romania with high activity in terms of employment is Cluj-Napoca, followed closely by Timisoara, Brasov, Iasi or Sibiu. Not only the big cities are on the map of the big employers in Romania, but also second-tier cities such as Arad, Oradea, Ploiesti or Targu Mures, where companies started to invest and need more employees. The Romanian labor market is dynamic and challenging, both for employers and for the candidates looking for a job in a big company. editor@romania-insider.com (photo source: Adobe Stock)
