3 Hard to fill and In demand Occupations The BLES 2008 Occupational Shortages and Surpluses Survey provided statistical figures that substantiate the initial findings in the PROJECT JOBSFIT. Broadly, the survey defined hard to fill occupations as job vacancies for which an establishment has encountered difficulties in managing the recruitment process. Reasons may include no applicants, applicant s lack of experience, skill or license, preference for working abroad, seeking higher salary or problem with location and other reasons. The in demand occupations refer to active occupations/job vacancies posted/ advertised recurrently by and across industries/ establishments. Citing examples from the survey are vacancies for Accountants and Auditors (1600 vacancies, 60 applicants/10 vacancies), Call Center Agents (20,000 vacancies, 30 applicants/10 vacancies) Mechanical Engineering Technicians (1500 vacancies, 20 applicants/10 vacancies), Sales Marketing Managers (600 vacancies, 70 applicants/10 vacancies) and Aircraft Pilots, Navigators and Flight Engineers (300 vacancies, 18 applicants/10 vacancies).
