The Lithuanian government recently approved lockdown-related aid for the labor market. Among other measures, the support includes subsidies for retaining employees for a generous six months after quarantine. 👏
We do hope that such measures help keep the Lithuanian job market healthy and active.
This week, our review shows that the Lithuanian job market is buzzing. There has been an increase in the number of active job openings as well as in the percentage of active job seekers. 🤸♀️
Last week’s report showed a slight cooldown on the job market, with the job openings and applications decreasing in numbers. You can review it here, if you’d like.
Now, let’s see what’s new in the Lithuanian job market. 👀
Job Market Overview
A week ago, we reported significant drops in the numbers of job openings and applications in Lithuania. Looking at this week’s data, we see that the number ofactive job openings is up by 14.7%.
The total number of Lithuanian talent on the MeetFrank app has now crossed 31 000! 🎉 And we see that 10.1% of the talent are active job seekers at this time.
Job-seeker confidence seems to be going up in May. This can be seen in how the average expected salaries are up compared to April. Interestingly enough, we see a similar trend on the Finnish and Estonian job markets. 💡
However, the employers in Lithuania continue to offer significantly higher salaries, on average. See for yourself:
So, if you’re a job seeker in Lithuania, you can probably consider bumping your salary expectations without fearing rejection from employers. To be sure, do check the salary data for your specialty on the Job Market Insights first though! 💁♀️
Weekly special chart: Job openings across top specialties
Every week, we take a look at some interesting data in the form of a weekly special chart. This week’s chart showcases job openings across the 6 top specialties, globally and in Lithuania.
First of all, let’s take a look at the global chart. As you can see, data shows that software engineering job openings are the most common ones globally in MeetFrank. Sales and business job openings have secured a solid second place, followed by IT & Sysadmin and Finance.
The chart for Lithuania is quite similar to the global one. We see that software engineering is by far the hottest field in terms of active job openings. Sales & business development comes in second, and finance is in third place.

Weekly highlight: IT & Sysadmin
This week, the spotlight is on the IT & Sysadmin specialty in Lithuania. 🔦Let’s take a look at the state of the field and its trends of the last 8 weeks.
There are close to 2000 talented people specialized in IT & Sysadmin on the MeetFrank platform. According to our data, 6.8% of the IT & Sysadmin talent in Lithuania are currently active job seekers.
Despite the turbulent times on the job market, the number of active job openings has not changed much in the last 8 weeks. In fact, these numbers are more stable than the same ones for Estonia and Finland. 🇪🇪🇫🇮
In the grand scheme of things, the numbers of job applications have also remained quite stable — with the exception of the last two weeks that have seen a significant drop.
When it comes to market competitiveness for job-seekers in IT & Sysadmin, one trend is very clear: in recent months, finding a job has become increasingly easy.
Next, let’s take a look at salaries in IT & Sysadmin in Lithuania. As you can see, the expected and offered salaries have been exceptionally in sync for the last 6 months.
In March and April, the job-seekers did lower their salary expectations to an extent, while the average offered salaries remained slightly higher. Most recently, we can see a decent recovery in expected salaries in May. 📈

It has now been a few days since the emergency situation in Estonia officially ended. Many companies continue to encourage working from home, while others are slowly returning to offices to see if they can still recognize their colleagues. 😬
We hope you do recognize your team members whenever you see them again.
But if instead you find yourself thinking “This is not my beautiful desk. This is not my beautiful team. How did I get here?” (to the tune of “Once In A Lifetime”), then it may be time to take a closer look at what’s going on in the Estonian job market. 👀
This week, we see some newfound stability in the job market as the numbers of openings and job seekers remain on last week’s levels.
In case you missed it, you can also take a look at last week’s Estonian job market report.
But now, it is time to deep-dive into the most recents stats from the Estonian job market. Let’s jump right in! 🏊♂️
Job Market Overview
The number of active job openings has been falling for a few consecutive weeks now. This week, we see a sign of stabilization. ⚖️
The current number of job openings is about the same it was a week ago.
We also see that the percentage of active job seekers remains around last week’s levels. About 12% of all talent in Estonia are currently active job seekers.
💸 In May, there has been a 10% uptick in the average expected salaries in Estonia. In fact, we see similar trends in Finland and Lithuania.
The increase in average expected salaries can be an indication of growing job-seeker confidence. Let’s see if it solidifies in the coming weeks!
The average offered salaries have recently seen a minor increase, but remain more or less on the same level as April.
According to our data, the current ratio of job offers to job seekers shows that the Estonian job market remains somewhere between “Ok” and “Challenging” for finding a job.
Design, customer support, Marketing & PR and Sales & Business development are currently the most competitive ones for job seekers. 🙇♀️
At the same time, job seekers in IT & Sysadmin and Finance should find it relatively easy to find a job in Estonia right now.
Weekly special chart: Job openings across top specialties
Each week, we share some special data with you in the weekly special chart. 🧙♀️ This week’s chart shows active job openings across the top 6 specialties, globally and locally in Estonia.
Globally, most job openings on MeetFrank are in software engineering. In second place, there are job openings in sales & business development. And then, IT & sysadmin and finance are not far behind.
The chart for Estonia looks quite similar to the global one. Software engineering has the most active job openings in Estonia, followed by sales & business development and IT & Sysadmin.
Compared to the global chart, we do see that marketing & PR & media as well as customer support roles are ahead of finance job openings in Estonia.
Weekly highlight: IT & Sysadmin
Estonia is a country that definitely takes pride in its IT talent. This week, we are taking a closer look at the IT & Sysadmin specialty in the Estonian job market. 👾
The total number of IT & Sysadmin talent on the MeetFrank platform is close to 2000. About 9% of them are currently active job seekers. While this is below the entire job market’s 12%, it still shows a good amount of talent movement on the job market. 🕺
In general, we can see that historically, it has beenquite easy to find a job in IT & Sysadmin in the last 6 months. This trend has only solidified itself in recent months, and now it should in fact be very easy to find a job in this field. 👏
In the last 8 weeks, the IT & Sysadmin specialty in Estonia has seen a general downward trend in the number of active job openings. The latest number of available openings is down about 30% as compared to 8 weeks ago.
When it comes to job applications, we can see that the activity jumps a lot from week to week. As it is not a very competitive field, we can only assume that this activity depends on how appealing the job openings are for the job-seekers. 😉
Salaries in IT & Sysadmin have remained quite stable over the past 6 months, hovering between 2500-3000EUR gross. Most recently, though, there has been a 13% drop in the average expected salaries in the past month.
So, it seems the general situation in IT & Sysadmin is quite alike the recent weather in Estonia. Mostly sunny, with some chilly winds and occasional rain. 🌦
Or, to put it in the labor market terms: mostly favorable for job-seekers, but seeing a decline trend in the number of job vacancies.

Well, we ran the numbers and despite some graphs being in the red, the Lithuanian job market remains a strong contender for that ranking. 🏅
This week, we see some turbulence in some of the key indicators of the job market in Lithuania.The streak of increasing numbers of job openings has come to an end, but the total number of openings is still higher than that of Finland or Estonia, for example. So we’d say there’s no big cause for concern for the Lithuanian job market.

Now, let’s take a look at how the Lithuanian job market is faring this week. 👀
Job Market Overview
Recent weeks have shown a seemingly ever-increasing number of job openings in Lithuania. You know what they say, “What comes up, must come down.”
This week, we see a stark decrease in the number of job openings. In fact, the number of active job openings has decreased by 19.9% as compared to a week ago. 😱
The numbers of active job seekers have remained stable, though. We see that 9.7% of the talent are active job seekers at this time.
Across the specialties, finding a job in Lithuania remains relatively easy on average. At the same time, the ease of hiring is a little below average, leaning towards “Challenging”.
However, not all competition is created equal.Job-seekers in Software Development, Data & Analytics as well as IT & Sysadmin should find it easy to get hired, while those in Marketing & PR, Design and Customer support will likely find it quite challenging. 🙇♂️
Perhaps unsurprisingly then, software development skills remain the most in-demand skills in the Lithuanian job market.
Weekly special chart: Remote work across specialties
This week’s special chart showcases the percentage of job openings that are open to remote work in the top tracks in Lithuania. 📊
We can see that IT & Sysadmin is leading this graph, with the highest percentage of remote job offers. In fact, nearly 25% of IT & Sysadmin job offers in Lithuania are open to remote applications. 🌎
Job offers in two fields are not too far behind. Currently, around 17% of job offers in Marketing & PR & Media and Customer support are remote job offers.
From the top tracks in Lithuania, two specialties are least open to remote work. Our data shows that only 4-5% of the openings in (Tech) Project Management and Data & Analytics are welcome to remote workers at this time.
Weekly highlight: Finance
🏦 This week, we are taking a closer look at the finance sector of Lithuania. What are the most recent trends? Where are the salaries like? Who is hiring? Let’s take a look.
First of all, we can see that in general, the number of active openings has been stable week over week, with a slight steady increase in the more recent weeks.
When it comes to job applications in the finance sector, it is clear that some weeks see more activity than others. The overall trend is a slight increase in the number of applications, which is a good indication of activity.
What about salaries? The first thing that stands out about compensation in finance is that salary expectations are consistently higher than what is offered. 💰
In recent months, job-seekers seem to have become a little more realistic in this. Now, expected and offered salaries are more aligned than in the last 6 months.
We do hope that aligned expectations lead to more happy hires. Here are a few of the more recent vacancies in finance, if you are looking to become a happy hire:
In the last few months, the number of job seekers has been relatively low as compared to the number of job openings. As a result, finding a job in finance is quite easy.
This is not great news for employers looking to hire people in finance. Our data shows that it is quitechallenging to hire people in finance right now.
We do have some great inside info for anyone hiring in finance, though. To increase your chances of getting stellar applicants, you should consider offering what motivates people the most. 💡
Our inside info suggests that Lithuanian job-seekers in finance are most motivated by higher salaries, growth opportunities and new challenges. Be sure to highlight these benefits in your job description and thank us later. 😉

And now, time for a review of how the Finnish job market is doing this week. 🎢
Job Market Overview
The Finnish job market is as volatile as the stock markets these days. Last week saw a noticeable increase in the number of job openings, and this week the number is down again by about as much.
Based on our data, the number of active job openings is down by 12% this week. 📉
The number of people looking for a job has seen a slight increase, as now about 8.3% of the talent in Finland are active job seekers.
Market competitiveness remains in the slightly above average range, meaning that in general it is not too easy and not too difficult to find a job in Finland.
⚠️ However, different specialties are not equal in this. Currently, finding a job is the most difficult for people in Marketing & PR and easiest for those in Finance, IT & Sysadmin.
To dig even deeper, we see that the biggest volumes of talent movement are currently happening in the field of software development. This is also evident when we look at the most sought-after skills of the Finnish job market: development, development, development.
Weekly special chart: Remote work across specialties
✨ There’s no need to reiterate how much remote work is on the rise this year. It is obvious. In this week’s special chart, we are looking at remote work opportunities in different specialties.
More specifically, we are looking at what percentage of job openings in different tracks are open to remote work in Finland. We focus on the top 6 tracks in Finland by volume.
In general, we can see that many companies in Finland are open to remote workers. The percentages we see are noticeably higher than those of Lithuania and Estonia, for example. 🌍
More specifically, job openings in two specialties are most welcoming to remote applicants. A striking 36% of Marketing & PR & Media job openings and 27% of openings in Sales & Business Development are open to remote workers.
Customer support and software engineering job openings are in the middle, at 17% and 13% accordingly. From the most popular tracks, finance and IT & Sysadmin are least welcoming to remote applicants, at 6% and 9% respectively.
Weekly highlight: Finance
Each week, we take a close look at one specialty and evaluate what are the biggest trends in that field. This week, we are zooming in on Finance in Finland. 💳
First of all, we see that the percentage of active job seekers in finance is lower than that of the job market as a whole. While the percentage is below 6% for finance, it is above 8% for the overall job market.
When it comes to job openings, we see that the last few months have seen a significant increase in the number of active openings in Finance.
At the same time, the number of applications have remained quite low in recent weeks. This is perhaps unsurprising, as the percentage of active job seekers in finance is quite small.
So, what does it mean if the percentage of active job seekers is relatively low and yet there is a fair number of companies hiring? That’s right, it means that finding a job in finance is very easy right now. 😎
Next, let’s talk about money. The offered and expected salaries are pretty much in agreement. That’s a healthy sign for the finance sector in Finland.
If you are looking for a new challenge in finance, here are a few recent openings you may want to take a look at:
When it comes to hiring in finance, Finnish companies are not in the best spot. Our data shows that it is currently quite difficult to hire in finance, as there are relatively few job-seekers actively looking. But don’t fret, we’re here to help you. 🦸♀️
We can see that job-seekers in finance are most motivated by new challenges, a higher salary and growth opportunities. So, be sure to highlight these perks if you are putting together a job opening!

💐Do you know the saying “April showers bring May flowers?” We do hope to see some blossoming in the job market in May. For now, let’s see how the very beginning of May has been for the Estonian job market.

If you are currently looking for a job, you can download the MeetFrank app to see what the world has to offer for you this week.
But now, let’s take a closer look at what is new on the Estonian Job Market. Read on, if you’d like! 👇
Job Market Overview
The Estonian job market remains a turbulent one to keep an eye on. Last week’s 5% increase in the number of job openings was a slight rebound from the decline of prior weeks. This week, we see another 9.7% decrease in the number of active job openings. 📉
We also see that 12.4% of talent in Estonia are active job seekers. This number has remained on last week’s level.
The Estonian job market has seen a few changes since the coronavirus crisis hit. The general declining trend in the number of job openings coupled with a steady number of active job seekers has resulted in a more competitive market.
In other words, it is now a little more difficult to find a job in Estonia than it was a few months ago,
This trend is similar in almost all specialties, except one — finding a job in IT & Sysadmin is easier, based on our data. Even software engineering jobs have become a little more difficult to find as compared to the beginning of March. 👩💻
However, when we look at what skills are most in demand in the Estonian job market, they still revolve around development. Backend development and full-stack development are currently the most in demand.
Weekly special chart: Remote work across specialties
This week, we are taking a look at remote work opportunities in different specialties. 🕵️♀️
More specifically, our weekly special chart shows the percentage of job openings that are open to remote work in the top specialties in Estonia. This is based on our April data, fresh out of our servers.
We can see that one specialty is leading the Estonian kob market with remote work opportunities. As many as 23% of job offers in Marketing & PR & Media are open to remote workers. 🏖
Most other specialties are on even levels, around 10-14%. Customer support roles in Estonia are the least welcoming to remote applicants at just 7%.
Let’s see if these trends change in the future, as the whole world adjusts to remote-flexibility in 2020.
Weekly highlight: Finance
This week, we are taking a closer look at the finance sector in Estonia. Home to TransferWise, Monese, Fortumo, Erply, Change and many others, Estonia does have a good amount of finance talent. 🏦
More than 1700 of these talented people are on the MeetFrank platform, and according to our data, close to 10% of the finance talent are active job-seekers.
Similarly to the trends of the job market as a whole, the finance sector has seen a decrease in available job openings. The number of available openings in finance has dropped nearly by half. 🎢
When we look at the number of applications, we see that the number of job applications fluctuates quite a lot. The general trend is clear, though: in recent weeks, there have seen fewer applications in finance than before.
What do we see when we put all of our job market insights data together? Turns out, it is quite easy to find a job in finance in Estonia right now. The ratio of job-seekers to job openings favors the job-seekers!
Now, let’s take a look at salaries in the financial sector. Interestingly enough, the job-seekers in finance have consistently had higher salary expectations than what the market has offered. 🤑
In recent months, this gap has been diminishing. Our latest data shows that the current average salary expectation is €2113, while the average offer is €1894 (gross).
If you are looking for a role in finance, you can take a look at the ones below. Here are the most recent job openings in finance:
In recent months, hiring people in finance has become more challenging for companies. Estonia is not alone in this — we have seen a similar trend in Finland and Lithuania, for example. 🇪🇪 🇫🇮 🇱🇹
This is where we can share some useful insights with you. Namely, we know that Estonians in finance are most motivated by new challenges, a higher salary and growth opportunities.
As you can see, flexible working hours and remote work possibilities are less important to people in finance. Be sure to use this information to your advantage when hiring!
The most popular opening in finance is one for a Compliance Department Team Leader with Fusion Services. It’s still open for applications, so you can take a look here. 🏆
