The Lintberg Index, representing a candidate’s chances in the top segment of the labour market, saw an increase of no less than 19 index points, reaching a yearly high at 93 points. This is the highest point the index has reached since November of last year, when the index also saw it’s annual peak at 93.
The October rise can be largely credited to the significant increase in the number of newly published € 100k+ positions from the second week of the month onwards. The full month of October experienced a 30% rise of new positions when compared to September. The increase by far exceeded the number of applications (+4%) and resulted in the positive motion of the index graph.
As far as November is concerned the prospects are looking good but if the same number of new positions will be achieved, remains to be seen.
