In the conditions of personnel shortage, employers in the retail sector are experiencing a great need for workers in mass professions – warehouse employees, sales consultants and other candidates. High demand also remains for qualified office specialists. Compared to the summer of last year, the number of vacancies for storekeepers has increased by 63%. The number of job offers for auditors has increased by 35%, and for commodity experts – by 28% year-on-year.
The leader in terms of salary offer growth in the retail sector was the position of sales manager. Over the year, average salary offers for new employees grew by 21% and reached 78,869 rubles for a full working day. Often, the actual income of sales managers depends on the percentage of completed transactions. When calculating the average salary offers for sales managers, vacancies for entry-level specialists with up to 1-3 years of experience were taken into account. Average offered salaries for candidates for senior and management positions can reach significantly higher values.
Compared to the summer of 2023, candidates were offered 20% more for merchandiser positions – on average, they could count on 49,010 rubles per month for full-time employment.
Third place in terms of growth in average salary offers in the retail sector was shared by the professions of sales representative and auditor – new employees began to be offered 18% more than a year earlier – an average of 77,223 rubles and 44,036 rubles, respectively.
