Flatchr through its barometer of companies recruiting in 2020 has compiled a snapshot of the job market in the first half of 2020.
This study is based on the analysis of 200 French companies.
Here's an exclusive look at what we learn from this barometer, which will be released in its entirety on July 28, 2020.
How is the number of job openings changing?
Evolution of the number of jobs in the first half of 2020
It is no surprise that there is a sharp drop in the average number of offers published per company per month during the containment period.
This decline reaches its lowest level in April with 3.6 monthly offers compared to 7 in January, a decrease of 49%.
Since May, the number of offers published tends to increase and even returns to its pre-containment level. Thus, 6 job offers were published per month and per company in February and June 2020.
So the V-shaped scenario seems to be confirmed!

As Valentin Konrad, CEO and co-founder of Flatchr, “we're crossing our fingers that we don't get a second wave of containment that turns the V into a W."
