Job Market in Africa – Special Report

With the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, we, Career Angels, wanted to understand how it actually affected the job market. We started to observe and analyze the changes that it brought. We have been gathering weekly data (unemployment and the number of LinkedIn job ads) and closely observing the situation across the EU since March 2020. In mid-September, we decided to extend our job market observations to a total of 80 countries on all continents – well, almost all – we do not track what’s happening in Antarctica. Tracking the demand for candidates, that is – if and how much companies are hiring, gives quite a good feel of the overall trend on the global job market.

This is an updated version of our report on the African job market. We summarized 25 weeks of the COVID-19 effects on the oldest continent.

Full Week 11 Market Signals report showing winners: BENELUX, Belgium and Losers: Northern Europe, Norway

Market Signals – where do they come from?

We started by monitoring the number of LinkedIn job ads in 18 European countries in Week 13 of 2020 (mid-March) – and extended our observations to ultimately 38 countries in Europe since Week 15. This allows us to measure a KPI that gives quite a good feel of the overall trend on the global job market.

Career Angels analyze the collected figures and complement the quantitative data with detailed and personal statements & insights of CEOs, HR Directors, investors, board members, candidates and headhunters that we know personally. We observe if and what kind of trends there are to leverage them into better candidate management & more effective job search methods.

These are not usual times, so we decided to share our market signals by the end of each week. If the country / context is important, we’ll add them. Otherwise, we’ll keep it general for confidentiality.

Job market – supply & demand of candidates

A year ago we started monitoring the job market with a focus on LinkedIn – we track the number of job ads published there weekly in 38 European countries (and 80 globally!). To have a deeper understanding of how the market has been reacting to the COVID-19 crisis, we decided to compare our data with the official unemployment rates provided by Eurostat. Our conclusions?
