Professionals to be paid most during 2018 in Albania

The year 2018 has begun with ambition for everyone. Besides health, which is a priority, a better and more income job is naturally on everyone's plans, working and living in Albania.

A difficult mission, as competition among businesses has increased, markets are towards maturity, consumption is weak, lowering entrepreneurship gains and making it harder for them to increase employee salaries. This is driving many individuals out of the country in search of a better life.

But you have to be pessimistic. It's never too late to specialize in the most market demand.

There are certain professions that are required and you can receive satisfactory salaries in 2018. EPPC Albania&Kosovo, recruiting and training agency, claims to “Monitor” that in 2018, there is expected to be a greater demand for leadership positions, (Nivelet CEO-1 & CEO-2) and those positions that generate sales and business, for profiles below: Sell/Marketing; Financial/Contability; Computer professionals; Construction engineer, mechanic, electrical, IT; German and French-language acquaintance. Salaries in the category of directors range from 150,000 to 400,000 Leke Neto.

What was the work market like during 2017 EPPC estimates that the labour market in Albania during 2017 continued its further consolidation of its functioning as a market, where on the one hand there is job bid and demand on the other. Even during 2017 the demand for employment significantly exceeds the offer, which is especially pronounced in young people and in the unqualified workforce.

In EPPC this report has been very unfair, so the demand for jobs of these categories was about 50-70 times larger than employers' offers. Put otherwise, for a position like that. The secretary has about 50-70 candidates applying. This report changes for more qualified positions and the more qualified positions are applications, even for high positions.

The CEOs level of CEO-1 departments, there are no proper applications with the workplace requirements. This year's particular “is that employment has already begun to be seen as a two-way process, and the old employers' mentality “to carry on bread” is coming and fades. This change is noted in leadership positions and in middle positions, while we are far from changing in low positions and small local businesses that do not represent values and have no vision for future”, EPPC experts say.

The year 2017 further crystallized working division into three main categories, each category having its own characteristics. First category, are leadership positions; Market leader; Financial leader; Operations Director (in service industries); Production leader (with technical-industrial profile); Guide Human Resources; Informatic leader; Leader Marketing. The second category, consists of qualified specialists, such as in Finance and Accountability/Administration; B2B vendor (Senior) with technical profiles such as IT, electricity, mechanical, profiles that help sell products related to these profiles, specialist Marketing; as well as Construction, Mechanic, and Electrical Engineering, etc.

The third category is underqualified employees, or jobs that require little qualifications. These positions continue to have no change, and their employment is largely made based on the criterion of being cousins, either through social and family networks. At the same time, this category is not viewed as “mutual employment”, is paid a little bit, the salary offered is non-negotiable and is not accompanied by occasional growth (results) and is largely not sufficiently valued in every respect. Beyond this classification, even during 2017, workers' assessment of foreign employers remains unchanged. Foreign employers and domestic employers' division remains unchanged, foreign employers are preferred for all employee categories. The most paid professions according to EPPC, the first category, the management category, is the most paid category, where in 2017, employers are willing to save for good leadership (CEO-1/CEO-2), not save, but to pay about 20-30% more to get on a professional, experienced and social team so necessary in the times we live in. Salaries in this category range from 150,000 to 400,000 Leke Neto. The best paying industries are: Banking/Financiar Sector; Minerals, Oil & Gasi; Informatics (Scourging); Pharmacitutika/healthcare; Selling the minority; Distribution. The second category, of specialists, has recognised an increase of about 10%-20% (considering low base) and that is only those positions that require special skills, such as. Donors who recognize specific programs, engineers who have experience in specific projects, executive vendors who know the industry they'll sell, etc. The third category has remained unchanged, with salaries at the same levels as before on the 30,000-40,000-dollar net bow. /Monitor
