Stable job offer on the Internet
Online job postings remain stable at a high level. The decline amounts to 0.2 percent. Swiss online job postings have managed to maintain the level seen in the summer quarter into the fall quarter. The Monster Index Switzerland (MIS) (formerly the Jobpilot Index) reached the previous quarter’s level of 216 points. This marks the second-highest level the MIS has ever reached.
The index published by Monster.ch is compiled by the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland (sub-index for job boards) together with the University of Zurich (sub-index for companies). The MIS sub-index for online job boards reached 207 points in October, as it did in July and April, thus reaching its highest level to date for the third time in a row, as the agency writes in a press release on Tuesday. The number of vacancies on company recruitment websites (representative sample of around 1,000 Swiss companies and organizations) fell slightly by 3 points to 232 compared to July. The overall index has thus fallen slightly by 0.2 percentage points, but remains at 216 points due to rounding.
