Hungarian IT experts are needed in Estonia

Estonia has begun a recruitment campaign called Career Hunt to hunt down Hungarian and other professionals, mostly people in IT and engineering, Forbes.hu reports. Potential candidates are invited to get to know Estonia before making the big decision.

The small Northern European state of Estonia has a population of only 1.3 million, but it has an increasingly growing IT and telecommunication sector. It is expected that by 2020, 37,000 technology experts will be missing from the Estonian labour market. They intend to fill some of those slots with professionals from Hungary.

According to CEO, Karoli Hindriks, the greatest problem in Estonia (and in the entire world) is labour shortage. She thinks that ordinary job advertisements are no longer enough because workers are much more mobile than before, and it takes much more effort to reach them.

A survey conducted by ManpowerGroup shows that labour shortage is a much more serious problem nowadays than it was in the last 12 years. The highest demand is for engineers and IT specialists.

45% of the responding employers reported that it is a problem to find employees with adequate skills.
