Compared to last year, the number of management position changes remains the same, however we could observe an increase in internal promotions in comparison with hiring from external market. There were 15% more internal promotions than last year.

The highest number of transfers this summer happened in sales, development and marketing roles. Last year, processing and financial roles prevailed. 93% of companies remain conservative while filling top management roles from other business areas. However, there is higher flexibility in hiring people with different job description background.
