In an employer-driven market the number of candidates clearly exceeds the number of open roles. Employers can be more selective, raise requirements and set tougher conditions on pay or flexibility. Such situations often follow cyclical downturns, structural transformations or regional concentration processes.
Typically affected are classic office roles without clear specialisation, basic administrative positions and occupations with high automation potential. Candidates here compete mainly through experience, specialisation, personal profile and speed.
