Almost 60% of Poles believe they earn too little. How many of them ask for a raise?

The job portal No Fluff Jobs has shared with us today the results of its latest report, “The Labor Market in Poland.” It’s a comprehensive 60-page document from which we’ve extracted the most interesting data for you.

Let’s start with general data from the labor market, which is subject to strong fluctuations. It is clear that the beginning of the year is favorable for new recruitment processes, which, however, slow down significantly in the following quarters.

Anna Gruca, Senior Talent Acquisition Partner Schibsted Tech Polska:

The so-called Eldorado is definitely over. Companies are opening new recruitment processes with greater caution, which is also visible in the increased activity of recruitment agencies that offer support in searching for talent for companies. Personally, I have the impression that we are in the “observation” phase – companies have ideas, but are waiting for a better moment to implement them.

What about the moods and plans of the employees themselves? Although 60% of those surveyed are not currently afraid of losing their jobs, 37% would like to change them, with every third also in the phase of such “observation” and waiting for the right opportunity.

When it comes to the channels we use to find work, the most popular are job portals, where more than half of people find work. Recommendations from friends are also similarly effective, or maybe even better, because out of 49% of recommendations, 48% turn out to be accurate.

Social media are not very effective in finding a job, especially LinkedIn, where every fourth respondent has looked for a job, but only 13% of people find it there.

We have an interesting correlation in the title issue, namely – only 27% of respondents believe that their current earnings are adequate to their skills and experience, and as many as 58% claim that they earn too little. Only 15% are undecided on this topic.

At the same time, more than half of them did not negotiate their rates in the last 12 months, and only half of those who decided to take this step were successful in their negotiations.

Job offers are not only about earnings, but also about additional amenities – but here too there is pessimism, because when asked what employers currently offer their employees, as many as 38% did not indicate any of the above options to choose from.

IT specialists are most likely to count on the remote work option, while the choice of hybrid work is often available in consulting.

Joanna Kwiatkowska, Vice CEO Kubota:

The flexibility and comfort of remote work can go hand in hand with frequent, cyclical presence in the office. Both the first and second modes have their advantages and respond to the different needs of team members, often resulting from factors such as the nature of the duties performed or work style.

However, in terms of the form of contract, B2B contracts most often appear in job offers for IT, marketing and sales specialists, and employment contracts in logistics, electrical engineering, HR, mechanics and finance.

Finally, let’s take a look at the most popular benefits in job offers. The two most common are private healthcare and a sports card. Training, life insurance, and foreign language learning are slightly less common.
