In the Corona crisis, many employees hesitate to change jobs, even though they have long had enough.

A recent survey of employers shows why this is wrong.

Giving up a secure job in the Corona crisis - many employees are currently afraid of that.

The fear that the new company could go bankrupt during the economic crisis or that the trial period will not be passed is far too great *.

And then?

Then maybe unemployment threatens.

Job offer 2021: Little difference compared to the previous year

The experts at the

StepStone

job exchange are also

convinced

that a job change during the Corona crisis is definitely worthwhile

: "

Many people believe that it is currently pointless to apply

- even those who do not feel comfortable in their current job", says

StepStone

labor market

expert

Dr.

Tobias Zimmermann.

"It is precisely these people who should not be discouraged from looking for a job that suits them better."

The

number of job offers

on

StepStone

at the beginning of 2021 should be just below the January value of the previous year.

"This shows that many

companies are still hiring despite the lockdown,

" says Zimmermann.

This is what employers are looking for in the corona crisis

A recent survey by

Stepstone

, for which 2,700 managers and 2,000 recruiters were asked

, shows

how the pandemic is

affecting

new hires

in companies

.

The result:

  • Almost

    every third employer

    is currently hiring more

    career changers

    from other industries and occupational fields.

  • 35 percent

    are trying to hire people

    who probably wouldn't have got

    them

    before the crisis

“War for Talents” continues to encourage employers to hire new employees

The result shows very clearly that the

“war for talents”

, i.e. the competition for the best employees, continues to pick up speed even in the corona crisis.

"The consequences of the corona pandemic had less of an impact on the job market than initially assumed," says Zimmermann.

“The majority of companies know that they still have to be very active in recruiting employees.

To fill new positions

is not a sure-fire success even in these times, but a

basic requirement for future competitiveness,

"says Zimmermann.

And that

improves the chances of changing jobs

, especially when employees are flexible, says the expert.

Because in some industries the situation will initially remain difficult, for example in the areas of hotel, gastronomy, leisure, culture, sport and traditional retail.

In any case, experts recommend changing jobs every two years.
