I've been in the IT recruitment for nearly six years, and this is probably the most cautious I've seen clients in a long time. Hiring decisions seem to drag on, new headcount is harder to get approved, and plenty of companies appear to be sticking to backfills rather than genuine growth.

I'm curious whether this is a wider trend or if some markets are actually picking up.

Interested to hear what everyone else is experiencing. Feels a bit brutal out there at the moment, but maybe we're all in the same boat.

Cheers! :)

Hi everyone,

I’m currently supporting an outplacement client who’ll be relocating to Graz, and I’d really appreciate some honest insight into the current job market in Austria, particularly in Graz/Styria.

I’d be interested to hear:

• what the market is realistically like at the moment
• which sectors are still hiring
• how competitive the market currently is
• what internationals/expats should realistically expect
• any challenges people wish they’d known about beforehand

From what I’ve seen so far, opinions seem fairly mixed. Some say there are still strong opportunities in engineering, manufacturing and technical roles, whilst others mention a noticeably tougher market for white-collar and office-based positions recently.

Any genuine experiences or advice would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
