By professionals for professionals about Recruitment and Technology! In this episode of the recruiTECH Podcast, hosted by Raluca Dumitra, CMO at eJobs Romania, we take an in-depth look at the evolving IT labor market in Central and Eastern Europe. Joining the conversation are Ivan Stojanovic, founder of Irish Recruiter and CEO of Taladria, based in Dublin and Barnabás Fejes, Business Unit Director of Game Testing at Manpower. Together, we explored the current challenges in IT recruitment, from the drastic decline in junior hiring and the rise of long-term unemployment among senior professionals to how AI is reshaping both the work of developers and the role of recruiters. You can discover why entering the IT job market has become more complex for recent graduates, how AI is changing expectations and productivity in the industry, which roles are in high demand and what strategies both recruiters and IT professionals should adopt to stay relevant. We also discuss the value of university education in today’s fast-paced, AI-driven world and offer bold predictions for the next 12 months in the CEE IT labor market. Why are juniors struggling to enter the IT job market? How is AI reshaping not only IT development but also the very role of recruiters? What roles are still in high demand, and which ones are becoming nearly impossible to fill? What should recruiters and IT professionals stop doing in 2025 if they want to stay relevant?
