Back in 2014, 89 percent of the open positions on the platform were advertised as full-time, currently it is only 74 percent, as shown by a recent analysis. The proportion of part-time positions increased from 6 percent in 2014 to currently 16 percent. Other types of employment (including apprenticeships, internships) recently accounted for 10 percent of all job advertisements.

Desire for Part-Time is Clearly Visible

The job portal identifies increasing flexibility among companies regarding working hours. Already 12 percent of the advertisements are full-time positions with a part-time option and include notes such as "full-time and part-time possible." "The reasons for employees to reduce their working hours are varied. However, the desire for part-time is clear and, as our analysis shows, is being met by many companies," says karriere.at CEO Georg Konjovic.

The job portal analyzed all job advertisements for the year 2024. Karriere.at did not provide information on the exact number of advertisements. Most positions were advertised in the "Technology, Engineering" sector, with Vienna leading again among the federal states. According to karriere.at, the number of job advertisements without a salary indication in numerical form decreases year by year and currently stands at 9 percent. The number of job advertisements with a range indication stagnates and also stands at 9 percent. The term "sustainability" appeared in around 5 percent of all job advertisements on karriere.at in 2024.
