UK executive positions filled twice as fast as the rest of Europe

The average vacancy for executive jobs in the UK lasts 36 days, according to a report from Experteer. Compared to executive positions elsewhere in Europe, UK vacancies are being filled twice as fast.

In France, it takes 134 days on average to fill an executive role. In Germany, it takes 89 days. The vacancy shelf life is somewhat shorter in Switzerland and Italy; 66 and 59 days respectively.

"These figures underline stiff competition executives face in securing top jobs and the importance of swift judgments in deciding whether to apply for a role,” says Torsten Muth, managing director of Experteer.co.uk. “The economic downturn means many executives are re-entering the jobs market for the first time in decades and need to reassess their methods of finding new work."
