Currently, the UK is still king of Europe Job Search. However, this could change in the event of a Brexit, as the first figures after the referendum already indicate.

Twice as many job searches from the UK

The vote to leave the EU could reduce Britain's popularity with job seekers - and thus Germans Companys Gain advantages. Especially in technical sectors and in the popular cities of the startup scene like Berlin, the consequences of a Brexit could be felt. This thesis is underpinned by initial data on the European sides of Indeed shortly after the referendum.

Immediately after the Brexit referendum, Jobsuchen shot out of the United Kingdom. Once in the early morning hours of the 24. As the result became known in June, the proportion of job search requests from the Kingdom doubled.

Germany could benefit from this. The search for UK to Germany increased by more than double. Search requests from the rest of Europe to Germany increased by 61%.

Particularly noteworthy: Among the sectors that the British were particularly frequently looking for in Germany were next to Marketing and Finance also several search terms from the IT-Area such as the programming languages ​​Java and PHP and professions such as data scientists and engineers. This is an indication that specialist areas that are particularly important for digitization could benefit from a reorientation of British and European employees.

Munich and Berlin: Europe's highest concentration of vacancies

In Germany, the jobs with the most clicks from abroad were positions such as development engineers and project engineers last year - positions for software engineers, IT system administrators and data scientists are just as popular. These are all complex and difficult-to-fill fields of employment, in which there is a high demand for skilled workers and in the digitization of the Economy play a crucial role

Germany is the strongest economy in the EU, with a stable labor market and a constantly growing Startupsscene, especially in Berlin - but also in many other German cities, such as Düsseldorf, Stuttgart, Munich or Hamburg. In fact, Munich and Berlin are the two cities with the highest concentration of tech vacancies in Europe. A larger pool of talent would definitely be an advantage here.

Competition from Ireland

But Ireland has also shown a similar trend in recent days Pattern, searches there also more than doubled. And it wasn't just Brits who were taking a closer look at the neighboring island, we also saw a significant increase in searches for Ireland from other EU countries, an indication of one Reorientation European workers. The sectors most searched for by Brits in Ireland included marketing, HR, Engineering, logistics and commerce.

Ireland's flexible job market and the English language make the country for sure interesting for employers and especially British companies. But not only Dublin is a permanent attraction for European job seekers, Berlin also scores points across Europe. Both cities already have a real magnet effect in Europe and beyond. The metropolises are attractive and offer high prices Quality of life and – most importantly – a much lower cost of living than London, which is already attractive today.

Status quo and outlook

In search queries within the EU-15 countries, despite its economic situation and low unemployment, Germany is currently only third among France, according to a Indeed study from the beginning of the year, but is popular among many non-EU and EU-28 countries ,

I believe that a Brexit could make Germany more attractive to professionals looking for highly qualified jobs within the EU. Areas such as technology, engineering and financial services would benefit from the additional Candidates benefit for whom a Britain outside the European Union proves less accessible or less attractive.

Looking to the future

Of course, the current figures are only a snapshot. What happens in the coming months and years depends on further political developments. But all Measures, restricting the free movement of workers could affect the UK's position on the international labor market sustained change.
