Ten groups of occupations are recording a sharp fall in recruitment demand, and the unemployment rate may increase in the time ahead, said recruiting service provider Navigos Group.

Occupations relating to information technology, high-tech and supporting industries are employment groups with high recruitment demand, experts have said.

Insurance, banking and securities are among the industries with the highest hiring needs in the third quarter of the year, according to job services provider Navigos Group.

The effectiveness of free trade agreements, especially the EU– Vietnam Free Trade Agreement, has helped to increase export orders for textile and garment enterprises in Vietnam, leading to high recruitment demand in the first and second quarter, according to Navigos Group, a recruitment service provider in Vietnam.
