High unemployment rate is one of the biggest problems affecting Italy. However, in addition to thousands of people looking for a job, there are also jobs that are almost impossible to find, waiting for the candidate with the necessary knowledge in the advertisements that remain for months. As a matter of fact, a portal specialized in job search examined the job postings published on its portal from January 1, 2023 to the end of November 2023 and ranked the positions called ‘hard to fill’, that is, positions that have not yet been filled. more than two months.
List of inaccessible works
‘Security engineers’ ranks first in the ranking: 75% of the postings remained open for more than 60 days. The situation is similar when it comes to searches for ‘cyber security engineer’ (72%). Technological evolution has led to an exponential increase in the sharing of digital data and sensitive information online. This has made organizations more vulnerable to cyber attacks, hacking and data theft. To protect themselves, businesses need highly trained professionals who can secure their networks and systems.
Other positions related to the ICT world featured in the ranking range from ‘digital sales account’ in fourth place to ‘firmware engineer’ in seventh place. And again, 59%, 58% and 55% of ads listed for ‘java developer’ (11th), ‘electronics engineer’ (12th) and ‘front-end developer’ (13th), respectively, stay open for more than 60 days. Data clearly shows that there is a strong demand for IT specialists in the Italian job market. However, there appears to be a shortage of qualified candidates to fill this vacancy, making these positions difficult to fill.
The IT sector is a sector that offers many opportunities, as Roberto Colarossi, senior sales director of Indeed Italy, underlines: “In an increasingly digital world, IT security-related roles are among the most in demand on the market. They provide rewarding and long-term opportunities for current and future professionals.” “It offers numerous opportunities for people to build careers. It goes without saying that professionals with advanced skills in these fields have great bargaining power when it comes to salaries and benefits.”
However, among the unearned professions, not only those related to the world of information technologies are included. We find live-in cleaners fifth in the rankings, with almost 68% of job postings not appearing for more than 60 days; This is almost as difficult to find as hairdressers, which ranked sixth with 67%. The nationwide doctor shortage is no surprise; This situation is also reflected in Indeed’s analysis. Anesthesiologist (8th), radiologist (9th), and neurologist (10th) have a significant percentage of job offers still open after 60 days; 62%, 60% and 59% respectively.
