How quickly is food industry filling digitalisation roles?


Jobs at food manufacturers related to digitalisation were online for less time in the first quarter than a year earlier, data claims.

The posts were up on average for seven days before they were taken offline, a decrease compared to the equivalent figure a year earlier, indicating the required skillset for these roles has become easier to find in the past year, GlobalData suggests.

Digitalisation is one of the topics that GlobalData, our parent company and from whom the data for this article is taken, has identified as being a key disruptive technology force facing companies in the coming years. Companies that excel and invest in these areas now are thought to be better prepared for the future business landscape and better equipped to survive unforeseen challenges.

On a regional level, these roles were hardest to fill in South & Central America, with related jobs that were taken offline in Q1 2022 having been online for an average of 11 days.

While the food industry found it easier to fill these roles in the latest quarter, these companies also found it easier to recruit for digitalisation jobs than the wider market, with ads online for 76.7% less time on average compared to similar jobs across the entire jobs market.

GlobalData’s job analytics database tracks the daily hiring patterns of thousands of companies across the world, drawing in jobs as they’re posted and tagging them with additional layers of data on everything from the seniority of each position to whether a job is linked to wider industry trends.
